Acne

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, forming spots, pimples, and sometimes cysts.

Symptoms

It is a common misconception to believe that acne only includes pimples. Acne can also include:

Blackheads (open comedones)
Whiteheads (closed comedones)
Papules (red bumps)
Pustules (red bumps with white centers, what many people call pimples)
Cysts
Nodules

Acne can show up on the face, chest, back, shoulders, neck and upper arms.
