• INTRODUCTION:

Acne is a skin disease that involves the oil glands found at the base of hair follicles, which come to life during puberty for both male and female hormones produced at that time. Because of these hormones, this is the time acne usually occurs.

 Acne isn’t medically dangerous, but it can be frustrating and embarrassing, especially for teens because it flares up, and usually occurs on the face, but often can be found on the back, chest, shoulders, and neck.

Research shows that susceptibility to getting acne may be genetic. If the child’s mother had acne, then the child is likely to have it. There are also medications that may cause acne, mainly those that contain androgen and lithium. During pregnancy, hormone changes may also cause acne to either develop for the first time or to recur if you had it in the past.
