Acne is a very common skin condition that occurs when a hair follicle becomes clogged with dead skin cells and oil. The symptoms of acne may vary depending on the severity of the condition, and may cause whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, or cystic lesions. While this condition is most commonly experienced by teenagers, it can affect individuals of all ages. Acne can appear on almost any area of the body, but is very common on the face, forehead, upper back, shoulders, and chest.

There are certain factors that may worsen acne, including hormonal changes, certain medications, stress, or diet. Some individuals may also experience acne due to genetics; if both of your patients had acne, then you are more likely to also develop it.
