    Glossary Facial Acne

    skin condition with inflamed or clogged hair follicles on face

    Facial acne, commonly referred to as pimples or zits on the face, is a skin condition characterized by the presence of inflamed or infected sebaceous glands. It typically occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of whiteheads, blackheads, or cysts. This condition is often influenced by hormonal changes, bacteria, and genetics, and can vary in severity from mild to severe.
