Acne/Acne Scarring
Acne is a very common condition that affects people of all ages. Most of the time, acne affects the face, chest, back, and arms. It is extremely prevalent in teenagers and adult women. It occurs due to tiny holes in your skin (pores) becoming blocked with oil, dead skin, or bacteria which can cause redness and pain. Acne in teens is usually a result of hormonal fluctuation. Acne can also be attributed to outside factors such as makeup, stress, and diet. Oftentimes, people are prone to squeeze and irritate spots with acne which can result in further inflammation and permanent acne scars.

It forms pimples deep under the skin that are filled with pus and very painful. This condition warrants the use of more intense treatments to be employed in order to treat it.
