Acne is a disease of the hair follicles of the face, chest, and back that affects almost all teenagers during
puberty. It is not caused by bacteria, although bacteria play a role in its development. Acne occurs when sebaceous (oil) glands attached to the hair follicles are stimulated at the time of puberty or due to other
hormonal changes. Sebum (oil) is a natural substance that lubricates and protects the skin. Acne usually improves around the age of 20, but may persist into adulthood. Permanent scarring may occur.
