Nearly 17 million people in the United States have it. People of all races and ages have it. Nearly 85 percent of people between the ages of 12 and 24 get acne. For most people, it goes away by age 30. But some people in their forties and fifties still suffer from the skin disease known as Acne.
Acne is a disease that affects the skin’s oil glands. The small holes in your skin (pores) connect to oil glands under the skin. These glands make an oily substance called sebum. The pores connect to the glands by a canal called a follicle. Inside the follicles, oil carries dead skin cells to the surface of the skin. A thin hair also grows through the follicle and out to the skin. When the follicle of a skin gland clogs up, a pimple grows.

Acne affects most teenagers and young adults to some extent. However, the disease is not restricted to any age group. Adults in their 20s and even into their 40s can get acne. While it is not a life-threatening condition, acne can be upsetting and disfiguring. When severe, acne can lead to serious and permanent scarring. Even less severe cases can lead to scarring as well.
