One of the most common chronic skin conditions in the world is acne. 9.4% of people worldwide experience it at some point throughout their lives. When your pores get blocked with oil and dead skin cells, pimple-like bumps called acne (also known as acne vulgaris) appear on your skin. 

Even though acne doesn’t cause a serious risk to your overall health, it can, however, be painful, especially if your acne is severe. If not treated on time, acne scars could develop over time.

Acne is most likely to appear when you are a teenager. Your body goes through a lot of hormonal changes during this time. These changes may cause an increase in oil production and your risk of developing acne rises. When you reach maturity, hormonal acne caused by puberty typically gets better, and your breakouts may even entirely stop.
