Acne effects almost everyone—more than 90% of all adolescents, nearly 50% of all adult women, and 25% of all adults. Crossing gender lines, as well as national borders, acne is one of the most widespread medical conditions in the world. While acne is not curable, it is treatable. The secret to managing acne is prevention and stopping the condition before it exhibits visible symptoms.
It is still unknown why some people have acne and others don’t. However, several known factors are genetic history, hormonal activity, stress, accumulation of dead skin cells, anabolic steroids, bacteria in pores, and certain medications.
In the event your acne has left scars, the active acne must first be treated. Once the active acne is under control, then procedures can be put in place to repair the scars.
