What is Acne and its causes?

  • This causes the pores to become blocked so that oil cannot come up to the skins surface which in turn causes red pimples, blackheads and whitehead.
  • Acne occurs in both teenagers and adults.
  • The most common areas are the face, chest, shoulders and back.
  • When Acne is left untreated it can cause permanent scarring.
