Acne is a skin disorder that occurs when the hair follicles on your skin get blocked with excess oil or dead skin cells. More than 90% of the world's population is affected by acne or pimples at some point in their life. (Source: Report Linker) Nodules, cysts, papules, blackheads, and whiteheads are some of the common types of pimples. Pimples are caused by various factors. A group of hormones triggers an increase in sebum production thus leading to acne.
