(Source:Medical News Today)

Acne, medically known as Acne Vulgaris, is a skin disease that involves the oil glands at the base of hair follicles.
It commonly occurs during puberty when the sebaceous (oil) glands come to life – the glands are stimulated by male hormones produced by the adrenal glands of both males and females.
Acne is not dangerous, but can leave skin scars.
Skin cells, sebum and hair can clump together into a plug, this plug gets infected with bacteria, resulting in a swelling.
There are various types of pimples such as whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nobules,cysts.
Dermatologists (skin specialists) say that approximately three-quarters of 11 to 30 year-olds will get acne at some time. Acne can affect people of all races and all ages.
Experts believe the primary cause is a rise in androgen levels – androgen is a type of hormone.
Some studies indicate that a susceptibility to acne could also be genetic.
How your acne is treated may depend on how severe and persistent it is.
Acne can be made worse by the menstrual cycle, anxiety and stress, hot and humid climates, oil based makeup, greasy hair and pimple squeezing.
