ACNE

Acne ("pimples") is a natural occurrence. It was caused by clogged pores. It starts when the skin's pores become blocked with dead skin cells and sebum, which slows down or stops the flow of sebum to the skin surface. Bacteria can then develop in the clogged pore, causing a pimple.

Anyone can get acne, but it is common in teenagers and young adults. It is not serious, but most it can cause scars.
Stress can cause acne. Acne may flare up when a person is under stress and not getting proper rest. Under these conditions, the adrenal glands work overtime producing more hormones(acne is triggered by hormones) and, as a result, more oil. Plugged oil duct, usually around the face, back , neck, shoulder and sometime around stomach, under arm result in acne.
