What
is Acne
Nearly
100% of people between the ages of twelve and seventeen have
had at least one occasion where they find a pimple, blackhead
or whitehead somewhere on their body.
Acne
Vulgaris (Acne for short) is a term that refers to clogged
pores, deep lumps (cysts and nodules) and pimples that can
occur on ones shoulders, neck, chest, face, legs, buttocks or
back. Acne generally affects more teenagers but is not
uncommon in adults aged 30-40. Young men are more likely than
young women to have longer lasting more severe forms of acne.
Given this fact, young men are still less likely to visit a
dermatologist for their acne. Young women can also have
intermittent acne due to hormonal changes associated with
their menstural cycle and acne caused by cosmetics.
In
a recent study done, research has shown that by their
mid-teens more than 40% of adolescents have had acne severe
enough to require some sort of treatment given to them by
their physician.
