Acne is a common chronic skin condition caused by dead skin cells and excess sebum (an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands) blocking the hair follicles which causes acne to form. Acne is a complex condition as there are different types (for example hormonal, cystic, nodular and fungal) which look different but can all severely affect confidence and self esteem. There are also many different potential causes and triggers, making it complex to treat.
