Pimples on the face: Acne vulgaris

Acne vulgaris is one of the most common skin disorders affecting teenagers and young adults. It can persist into adulthood.

Factors implicated in the development of acne include increased skin cell turnover, sebum production, and bacterial colonization. Genetics, friction, and certain drugs can also contribute.

Acne severity varies, and treatments range from over-the-counter topical medications to prescription drugs for severe cases.

Untreated acne can lead to skin discoloration, scarring, and psychological effects like low self-esteem and depression.

Connect with a dermatologist (skin and hair doctor) in a clinic near you to know more about treatment of acne.
