Acne
Three out of four teenagers have some acne, and some adults continue to have acne into their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Acne occurs when the hair follicles of your skin become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It usually affects the face, back, chest, and upper arms, though adult acne occurs mainly on the face. Although acne is not life threatening, its effects on self-esteem and self-confidence should not be downplayed.
