In other words, acne does not result from too much dirt on the skin or in the pores. Acne is characterized by pimples on the face, chest, and back. Acne can be very isolating and painful. Acne can cause a person to focus more on their acne than on the things they should be focusing on in life. Women are more likely to experience acne irregularly, due to hormonal shifts during the menstrual cycle or due to the cosmetics they use. That is why there are more women who struggle with acne in adulthood than men.

People with acne frequently have a variety of lesions. The basic acne lesion, called the comedo, is simply an enlarged and plugged hair follicle. In most cases, acne starts between the ages of ten and thirteen and usually lasts for five to ten years. It normally goes away on its own sometime in the early twenties.
