Description
Understanding Acne
Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that is characterised by the presence of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules (small raised bumps), pustules (small raised bumps filled with pus), and nodules (large raised bumps under the skin) on the skin (Lambrechts et al., 2017) (Park & Oh, 2019).
It occurs due to the clogging skin pores with sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The most common type of acne is called Acne vulgaris and it typically affects the face, shoulders, upper chest, and back where sebaceous glands are most abundant. (Abozeid et al., 2022)
