Acnes/Scars
The dreaded acne… Or some call them pimples… Most of us would have experienced it one time or another. One of the most common and stubborn skin problems, acne can affect us at almost any age. It is not a teens-only predicament and adults are not spared.

Acne occurs when the oil produced by the sebaceous gland does not reach the surface of the skin but is trapped in the hair follicle. This is followed by bacterial colonisation of the follicle with ensuing inflammation. These painful, inflamed lesions do not only appear on the face but also on the chest, back and well, almost any skin part.

Acne is closely associated with adolescence when hormonal changes are most pronounced, causing the enlargement and obstruction of sebaceous glands in the skin. The fortunate ones brave through this episode with only bad memories but for some, acne continues to be a predicament way into adulthood. Besides being unsightly, acne can also lead to serious and permanent scarring.
