Acne Treatments

What is Acne?

Acne is one of the world's most common an inflammatory disease of the skin. Over 85% of adolescents by the age of 24 years and up to 50% of adults over 25 years of age are affected by acne. The decease is NOT caused by bad diet or greasy foods. Acne is a disease of the sebaceous gland of the skin. In fact, acne develops when the sebaceous glands in a person's skin produces excess oil or sebum. This oil combines with cells that line the gland walls and clogs the skin's pores. Normal skin bacteria colonize these pores and the body's response causes the inflammation. This leads to redness, pimples and blackheads. When uncontrolled, acne can eventually lead to scarring.
