Detailed explanation-1: -Acne is a disorder of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands that become clogged. This leads to pimples and cysts. Acne is a common condition that usually begins during puberty because of hormonal changes. Acne can be either superficial or deep.
Detailed explanation-2: -As puberty progresses, hormones stimulate these glands to make more sebum and they often become overactive and make too much sebum, leading to clogging of the pores with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria.
Detailed explanation-3: -Approximately 85% of teenagers are affected by acne vulgaris at some point; up to 20% may develop facial scarring, which can be severe and permanent. Acne can also lead to psychological distress, lower self-esteem, anxiety, and even depression.
