WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

What is acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can result in various types of blemishes, including pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and in some cases, deeper cysts or nodules. Acne typically affects areas with a high concentration of oil glands, such as the face, chest, and back.

Common symptoms

Symptoms of acne may include:

  • Pimples (papules and pustules) that may be swollen or contain pus. Pimples can be red in lighter tones and show as dark-colored bumps in darker skin tones
  • Blackheads (open comedones) that appear as small black or dark spots on the skin
  • Whiteheads (closed comedones) that are small, flesh-colored or white bumps
  • Oily or greasy skin
  • Scarring or dark spots (hyperpigmentation) left behind by previous blemishes in darker skin tones
