But, in case a definition is needed, here is a short one. Acne is a dermatological term that includes clogged pores, pimples and lumps or cysts that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders, and upper arms. Acne occurs most commonly in teenagers, but is not limited to any age group, afflicting even adults in their forties. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis disease has many varieties, and although none are life threatening, the more severe cases of acne can be disfiguring, leaving permanent scars on effected areas. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe physical changes in body tissue - or lesions - which acne causes are described in five ways: comedos, papule, pustule, nodule and cyst. Further, these terms denote range or severity with comedo (also known as blackheads and whiteheads) at one end and nodules or cysts at the other. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs stated above, acne is most common among teenagers, affecting teens between the ages 12 and 17. Usually, these mild cases are cleared up with over-the-counter treatments and the acne goes away by the early twenties. It also should be noted that although acne affects both girls and boys equally, there are some distinctions. Young men are more likely to have severe, long-term acne while women can have reoccurring or intermittent acne well into adulthood due to hormonal changes and cosmetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 – What is Acne 4\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 – Acne Myths   6\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 – For the Parents of Teens with Acne 12\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 – What Really Causes Acne? 14\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 – Types of Acne 20\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 – Severe Acne 31\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 – Natural Acne Remedies 35\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 – Over-the-Counter Acne Remedies 40\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eChapter 9 – Turning to Prescriptions 43\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eChapter 10 – Surgical Options 47\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 – Acne Prevention 51","brand":"Lian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174813516016,"sku":"2940015738889","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015738889_p0.jpg?v=1763624104","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015738889","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
