Acne Vulgaris is a common skin condition that primarily affects adolescents and young adults. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and cysts. Hormonal changes, particularly during puberty, can increase oil production, making acne more prevalent.
The condition can appear on the face, back, and shoulders, and while it is not physically harmful, it can cause emotional distress and scarring. Treatment options include topical medications, oral antibiotics, and lifestyle changes to help manage symptoms and reduce outbreaks.
