acne vulgaris
Acne vulgaris, commonly known as acne, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by outbreaks of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, and nodules. It typically affects areas of the skin with the highest concentration of sebaceous (oil) glands, including the face, upper part of the chest, and back. Acne vulgaris is most common in adolescents and young adults, but it can affect individuals of any age. The exact cause can be due to a mix of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, as well as the presence of certain bacteria in the pores.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
