Skin lesions most commonly involve the face, neck, shoulders and back.
When you look at a person with acne you may see:
* whiteheads
* blackheads - dark spots with open pores at the centre
* increased greasiness of the skin.
When these lesions are present, the condition is termed non-inflammatory acne.
More severe acne may present as:
•small red bumps
•Red swellings or bumps that are visibly filled with
pus (zits/pimples/pustules) – on the face, chest,
shoulders, neck and/or upper back
•Large, inflamed, red, firm fluid-filled lumps
(nodules) under the skin
•Large, inflamed, red, soft bumps (cysts) under the
skin that may become as large as 2,5 cm across.
When these lesions are present the condition is termed inflammatory acne. Healing of inflammatory lesions may lead to scarring and post-inflammatory pigmentation (dark spots).
A person with acne may show only non-inflammatory lesions or a combination of non-inflammatory and inflammatory lesions with or without scars and brown spots.
Acne may cause embarrassment, frustration and anger, and sufferers tend to withdraw from school and social activities. Acne certainly impairs quality of life.

Our body begins to produce hormones called androgens during the onset of puberty. Boys tend to produce more of them, and the acne tends to be more severe. Acne is not cause by any chocolate or greasy food and nothing to do with general hygiene either although this isn't a cause to stop washing as good hygiene does help to keep the skin fresh and prevents infection.
Tips to avoid acne :
1. Wash your skin twice a day
2. Wash your hair every day
3. Try not to squeeze or pick your spots as you may introduce more infection and make the spots worse.
4. If you use a cover up stick to hide your spots use an oil free one. Hair gels, sprays may aggravate your acne so find products that suit you.

good definition!! you can also tell if its acne by the look that the face has been burned and its swollen up. you can get medication from the GP's for it.

acne is more increzd if no cured ...do dis 2 cure it
Make a paste by mixing 3 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. Repeat for two weeks, pimples will disappear forever

The big problem of acne is coming frm father and mother or it's u can say a family problem. because many of my friends dont have acne problem and i have that and my other family members also have the same problem. There is One thing from which we can control on acne is to live in good environment pollution should not be there etc i mean clean area.Some other point from we can have control on it.
1.wash u r face with good soap.
2.when u see that there is acne problem starting on u r face immediately u should go to doctor,than follow what he say.
3.u should wash u r hands after each one hour bacteria should nt see u r hands ,coz if there 'll b bacteria on u r hands frm same hands u r eating doing other works touching u r face skin that is also making problem for u r skin. so be careful when this problem just gets started immediately go to doctor n have medical treatment.

The symptoms of acne are found in both men and women including teenagers. The most common symptoms of acne are recurrent and persistent red spots and swelling on the skin which is known as acne. Acne can be found anywhere on the body. Acne occurs due to the high concentration of sebaceous glands in the areas which includes upper back, chest, face, neck and shoulders

yeah you rightly said the acne impairs the quality of our life.The main causes are the intake of rich and junk foods and diets and exposure to harmful reactants which may be excessive sunlight,radiation,vehicular smoke etc.We should do proper treatment for acne otherwise following different steps suggested by friends or relatives can end up in drying and damaging your skin..

O yeah.. never ever try to pull or push Ur agne. And try not to touch it with hand.
Clean it and be patient. face infecting by acne is better than black spot which caused when U force to break it. ^^
