Everyone will have acne breakouts once in their lifetime. It’s actually a skin disease, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland). Acne lesions are usually referred to as pimples, spots, or zits.Acne affects people mostly during adolescence, affecting more than 85% of teenagers, and frequently continues into adulthood. For most people, acne diminishes over time and tends to disappear, or at least decrease, after one reaches his or her early twenties. However, there is no way of predicting how long they will stay or disappear. Some will have acnes even though out their adult lives.

The most common form of acne is known as “acne vulgaris”, meaning “common acne”. Many teenagers get this type of acne. At times, there is no effective acne treatment, only time will tell. However, I have heard some who will resort to laser treatment if the break outs are extremely severe. But it is not proven that the acne will disappear completely. Proper diet and hygiene will help in minimizing the effects of acnes. Drink plenty of water, fruits and proper health care, that should be the minimum required apart from external use of treatment products such as acne cream and even facial.
