Acne is an inflammatory disease of sebaceous (oil) glands. During puberty, sex hormones speed up the secretion of oil from these glands. Problems begin where there is a build up of oil in the narrow gland openings or drainage passages in the skin. It is, therefore, important that the perspiration and other coatings clogging the skin pores be washed off. Acne should not be squeezed as it leads to inflammation and scarring.

Four main types of acne are:

1. White Heads: Round white blemishes that form when hair follicles become clogged.
2. Black Heads: Round, dark blemishes that form when white heads reach the skin’s surface and touch air.
3. Pimples: Red, swollen bumps that form when plugged follicle walls break near the skin’s surface.
4. Deep Cysts: Pimples filled with pus that form when plugged follicle walls break deep within the skin.
