Acne (Yauvanapidika)

Acne is a skin condition, commonly seen in teenagers, mostly seen on face and neck, sometimes on back and chest too. Typically, they are treated with topical creams and ointments, with not much relief.

Acne is caused when the sebaceous glands secrete excess sebum that clogs the pores of the skin, sometimes triggered by hormonal changes. The term acne also refers to blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, and nodules as well.
