What is Acne?
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It commonly appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders. Acne affects up to 50 million Americans annually, making it the most common skin condition in the country. Effective prescription treatments can significantly improve skin clarity.
