Acne is a broad term to describe a number of inflammatory skin conditions. It is often used to refer to acne vulgaris, a common skin disorder that affects a large number of teens and is characterized by pimples or zits. Acne is related to an increase in the oiliness of the skin, usually triggered by hormonal changes, and blockage of the ducts that empty this oil onto the skin (blocked pores).
Treatment should involve both oral and topical medication. There is no cure for acne but with proper management and good skin care, the effects of acne can be reduced significantly.
