WHAT IS ACNE?
Characteristics of acne
Acne is a highly common skin condition in the UK that causes breakouts on the face, neck, back, and chest. Around 95% of people aged 11 to 30 experience acne at some point in their life. The medical term for acne is acne vulgaris.
During our teenage years, our bodies undergo hormonal changes that cause glands under the skin’s surface to produce excess oil called sebum, which leaves the body through our pores. When the pores are blocked, the oil becomes trapped underneath, causing a pimple to appear. This is why we get mild acne in the form of blackheads and whiteheads. Spots usually appear on the face, but they can sometimes be found on the neck, chest and back as well.
Acne is a reaction to a bacterium known as C. acnes, which multiplies in the natural oil found in the skin pores, forming comedones (blackheads). Your body’s immune system reacts and causes inflammation. The skin reddens and the pimple becomes enlarged and can fill with pus.
The condition causes six different types of spots pictured below:

PUSTULES
BLACKHEADS
CYSTS
