A skin condition in which pores become clogged and inflamed with sebum, the natural oil that your skin produces. This inflammation leads to pus, bacteria, and redness in the affected area.
Usually occurring in varying degrees in the teenage years because of hormones, but can show up in adults as well. There is also a strong genetic component to acne.
There is no cure for acne, only treatment, which ranges from salicylic acid to the more serious accutane.

Dude 1: That dude had huge acne all over his face, that must really make him feel like shit.
Dude 2: Yeah dude, but accutane helps acne even though your skin gets so dry your lips bleed and if you get pregnant your baby will have a tail.
Dude 1: Dude yeah accutane helps but didn't fully clear it for me dude. I used 2.5% benzoyl peroxide and lotion twice a day and that helped loads. You should check out acne.org for a good regimen using this formula dude.

Something almost everyone gets at one time or another. It's most common in adolescents who are going through puberty, and is due to the abundance of hormones flowing through their bodies. Usually it starts in early teens and ends in the early to late twenties, occasionally it will extend past thirty and sometimes even into someones forties or fifties.
Acne is not due to dirt, oily foods, or chocolate/sugar. Milk has been linked to increase in acne, however. Stress/anger can cause hormonal changes which can cause acne. Excessive touching of the face is also a bad idea. Genetics also play a key role.
Washing ones face will help, however people who have acne don't necessarily not wash their faces. If the case is especially serious, one should consult a doctor to be put on an anti-acne drug. Common ones include: Erythromycin, tetracycline, and clindamycin.

Bobby has had acne since he was 12. He's on a topical, and oral solution. He visits a dermatologist every two months. He still gets acne though, i'm glad i don't have his gene pool.
