'''Acne''', an inherited disorder of the skin's hair-and-oil follicles, resulting in blemishes or pimples on the face, chest, and upper back. The common form of acne, acne vulgaris, is seen in most adolescent boys and girls. Although it may begin in earliest puberty—between the ages of eight and ten—it is most common in the mid-teens. Acne often clears spontaneously in late adolescence or early adulthood, but many people are plagued with it throughout life.

The first stage of acne vulgaris is usually marked by blackheads and whiteheads (comedones). Thereafter, during preadolescence, red, inflamed blemishes may appear with different degrees of severity. Most superficial red blemishes heal by themselves within a week, but deeper cysts may require several weeks before disappearing. Some deep acne cysts may be painful and result in permanent scarring.
