Acne

What is acne?

Acne is a common skin condition characterized by the occurrence of inflamed or non-inflamed pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads on the face, chest, back, or other areas of the body. It occurs when the pores on the skin become clogged with dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria, leading to inflammation and infection.

• Physical discomfort: pain, itching, and tenderness

• Sleep disturbances: stress and discomfort leading to insomnia or restlessness
