Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory disease of the skin, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland). Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples, spots or zits.
The condition is most common in puberty, especially among Western societies most likely due to a higher genetic predisposition. It is considered an abnormal response to normal levels of the male hormone testosterone. The response for most people diminishes over time and acne thus tends to disappear, or at least decrease, after one reaches their early twenties. There is, however, no way to predict how long it will take for it to disappear entirely, and some individuals will continue to suffer from acne decades later, into their thirties and forties and even beyond. Acne affects a large percentage of humans at some stage in life.
The term acne comes from a corruption of the Greek άκμή (acme in the sense of a skin eruption) in the writings of Aëtius Amidenus. The vernacular term bacne or backne is often used to indicate acne found specifically on one's back

El acné es algo tradicionalmente relacionado con la adolescencia, aunque no necesariamente. Se puede padecer de acné por muchas razones, desde un desequilibrio hormonal hasta una incorrecta aplicación de cosméticos por parte de la persona (que suelen empeorar usando MÁS cosméticos para ocultarlo).
Existen muchos medicamentos para curar el acné, pero siendo sinceros, lo que realmente hacen es combatir temporalmente los síntomas del acné, no la causa en sí, ni tampoco son una solución permanente, lo que nos obliga a estar adquiriéndolos una vez y otra.
Si quieres un buen remedio para el acné, te recomiendo encarecidamente éste:
