Acne

Acne is a hereditary disorder of the oil glands and pores (also known as sebaceous glands and follicles). It can affect almost anyone. Pores get clogged with sticky skin cells and oil builds up, leading to blackheads and whiteheads. Bacteria overgrow, leading to inflamed red pimples, pustules, and larger pimples called cysts. Scarring can occur.
