Acne or pimples is a disease condition which affects the oil glands of the skin and it is very unsightly.
     Acne or pimples occur when the tiny perforations or pores in your skin become plugged up.The small perforations or pores link to oil glands under the skin or subcutaneous layer.These glands under the skin or subcutaneous layer are responsible for producing an oily substance which helps to lubricate the skin.
     Acne or pimples results when the channel or canal(follicles) between these oil glands become blocked by dead cells,oil and hair.
    Pimples are formed mostly on the shoulders face,chest,back,and neck regions but that not withstanding,it can grow on any part of the body.
     Acne in some rare conditions can result to scarring although it poses no threat to life.When blockage of the pores occur,bacteria begin to grow in the blocked pore which brings about the swelling of the pore and consequently in the swelling of the skin where the pore is located.
     As the swelling begins to increase,this brings about the growth of pimples.
    Acne is the most prevalent skin disease ,affecting both men and women in every race.contrary to popular belief acne is not restricted to teenagers alone although teenagers are among the major acne sufferers.pimples often affect individuals within the age bracket of 11-30 years.
    Acne however,has been known to affect individuals well into their fifties.Acne is believed by dermatologists and medical practitioners to be due to an upsurge of hormones during puberty that can lead to the blockage of the oil or sebaceous gland.
    Acne can also affect pregnant women as a result of hormonal changes.Acne can also manifest as a side effect of oral contraceptive pills.
    Further more the likelihood of an individual contacting acne,can be predetermined by the prevalence of the disorder in the family line as acne is also hereditary.
    medications like certain antibiotics and some greasy oil based cosmetics can bring about spots.
