ACNE ( pimples )

                          It is the most common skin disorder affecting many teenagers and few in later years too. It is not dangerous and can be treated with proper care. Usually acne leave skin scars if pressed. Each hair follicle contains a tiny hair and sebaceous gland. The sebaceous gland is made up of multiple lobes and it produces sebum. Sebum is an oily substance. These sebum travels to the hair follicle and then comes out to the skin. 

    These sebaceous follicles are blocked and inflamed in acne. Acne usually develops on those areas

of  the skin where the number of sebaceous glands is more. Usually acne appears on face, chest and back. Acne is common at puberty. By pricking and pressing, we increase the chances of infection and later on, of dark spots.
