Your skin has tiny holes called pores that can become blocked by oil, bacteria, dead skin cell and dirt.  When this occurs, you may develop a pimple or “zit”.

Acne Vulgaris is the most common skin disorder that affects virtually all individuals at least once.  Incidence peaks in 18-year olds but a substantial number of 20-40 year age groups also develop acne.

Symptoms range from inflamed blackheads to pustules or large, red tender bumps.

There are certain risk factors for developing acne including:

• Hormonal changes caused by puberty or pregnancy
• Certain medications such as birth control pills or corticosteroids
• A diet high in refined sugars or carbohydrates such as bread or chips
• Having parents who had acne

Although acne is not a life-threatening condition it can be painful, particularly if severe.  Most importantly it causes emotional distress, affects your self esteem and over time may cause permanent facial scarring.
