Let me tell you about how to really treat you acne problem.
I know you probably tried it all and you think there is no way to treat those annoying little red zits.
LET'S START FROM THE BEGINNING...
What is Acne really?!
Acne is a group of skin rashes that have different causes. It is an inflammatory skin disease that affects the skin's oil glands.
Acne is the most common skin disease. Nearly 17 million people in the United States have it.
Most pimples are found on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders.
Acne is not a serious health threat but, it can cause scars.
There are many types of pimples such as:
Whiteheads (stay under the surface of the skin), Blackheads (rise to the skin's surface and look black), Papules (small pink bumps), Pustules (red with pus on top), Nodules (large, painful, deep in the skin), Cysts (deep, painful, can cause scars).
Now that we know what acne is, i'm sure you all want to hear how to treat acne.
