What is acne?
Acne is a common condition of the pilosebaceous unit. It is an inflammatory disease characterized clinically by polymorphic lesions of the pilosebaceous follicles, mainly on the face, but also on the shoulders and the upper part of the torso. It is particularly frequent during adolescence and youth, though its appearance at older ages is not excluded. It is one of the most common dermatological disorders and is considered a chronic disease.
