Acne is a common skin condition that usually affects the face, neck, shoulders, back and arms. It’s a disorder of the sebaceous glands that definitely doesn’t only manifest itself during puberty and can affect both men and women.
Hormonal fluctuations, stress, a genetic predisposition and medication can influence the severity of the acne. The treatment of acne depends, among other things, on the type of acne, its severity and the location.
Acne treatment
