WHAT IS ACNE? Acne is a skin condition that appears mainly on the face, chest and back. You’ll recognise it by the “spots” it causes on your skin. Mild to moderate acne produces small blackheads or whiteheads, while severe acne has larger inflammations containing fluid, like pustules and cysts. These can be painful, and severe cases can lead to permanent scars. Chronic acne can control your life. It not only makes you feel physically uncomfortable; it can also affect your confidence in social situations and your self-esteem. Most people try various treatments and settle on one that manages the symptoms best, but remain on the lookout for even more effective solutions.
