What are the symptoms of Acne?
Acne is a very common skin condition identified by the presence of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and pus-filled spots (pustules).
It usually starts during puberty. Acne ranges from a few spots on the face, neck, back and chest, which most teenagers will have at some time, to a more severe problem that may cause scarring and reduce self-confidence.
For most, it tends to go away by the early to mid-twenties, but it can go on for longer. Acne can also develop for the first time in people in their late twenties and beyond.
