Acne is a common, chronic inflammatory condition that can leave permanent scarring and hyperpigmentation. Main contributing factors are (1) increased sebum production and (2) skin bacteria. Other contributing factors are diet, hormonal variability, injury and mechanical trauma and metabolic disorders.
