Acne is a skin condition that shows up as bumps and lumps anywhere on body. These bumps include blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and cysts.Teenagers get acne because of their raging hormonal changes that come with puberty, and unfortunately if your parents had acne as teenagers it's possible you will be more prone to developing acne as well. The good news is that, for many people acne disappears almost completely by time they hit their twenties. The type of acne most teenagers get is called acne vulgaris, and it usually shows up on face, neck, shoulders, upper back, and chest. The hair follicles, or pores, in human skin contains sebaceous glands (also called oil glands). They make sebum which is an oil that lubricates hair and skin.
