Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States. While acne is most often associated with teens and young adults, it can occur at any age even with newborns. Acne appears when pores in the skin clog and can result in any of these types of blemishes: blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, cysts or nodules.
Although acne is a common condition, accurate information about acne can be hard to find. Myths about acne are as common as the skin problem. Without inflammatory treatment, acne can lead to dark spots and permanent scars that remain even after the acne clears.
