Acne.

Acne is a disease that primarily affects adolescents but it may also be seen in neonates, children and adults. The main areas of involvement are the face, chest and back. Many individuals with acne are embarrassed by their condition, and even refuse to go to school and become socially withdrawn. Early treatment can prevent the devastating physical and emotional sequelae of acne. There are numerous effective therapies, and it is not necessary for patients to go through the trauma that plagued previous generations.
