Acne is a type of skin disease that is mainly caused due to the
excessive secretion of oil called sebum. Basically, the function of
this oil is to regulate the skin texture and body hair by reasonably
moistening it. It is produced by the sebaceous glands present in
the skin. But, due to excessive lubrication, you easily become
prone to the development of congested pores on the skin surface.
These pores give rise to various skin bumps such as cysts,
blackheads and whiteheads, pimples etc.

There are various types of bumps, which vary in nature. Cyst is
a condition where your skin is covered with a tiny sac that is filled
with fluid. In the case of whiteheads, the pores get blocked with
sebum and protrude slightly outward. When the pores stay open
and are filled with sebum, they get darkened from the outside
surface, and these are known as blackheads. When the pores get
exposed to a different kind of organic matter such as

bacteria and other germs, usually a reddish colored swelling will be noticed, and this is known as a pimple.

Acne is commonly found between the age group of 10 to 40 years. You can find a quicker treatment, if you have thorough knowledge regarding the causes and how they should be treated. You can go to a drug store or
cosmetic center and find medicines for yourself. In case it is not easy to understand your actual skin condition, you can consult a physician and follow his prescription.
