About Acne
Acne is a frequent skin condition in which hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin, causing spots, blackheads and sometimes painful lumps.
What Can Cause Acne

How Acne Feels
- Red, tender spots
- Marks or scarring after spots heal
- Deeper painful lumps or cysts
- Oily skin
