Acne is a very common skin condition characterized by the presence of comedones (blackhead and whiteheads) as well pustules (pus-filled spots). Although it usually starts during puberty, acne in can start in children as well as adults. Acne ranges from a few spots on the face, neck, back and chest to a more severe problem that is painful, embarrassing and can result in permanent scarring of skin.
