Acne

Acne is an inflammatory skin disorder of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. They are divided into two groups: non-inflammatory such as whiteheads and blackheads and inflammatory such as papules, postules, nodules, and cysts. Acne can be found on the face, underarms, groin and buttocks, and under the breasts in women. Acne can also arise after shaving or starting a medicine. Talk about your acne problem, treatments and over-the-counter products as well as prescribed medications and other cosmetic treatments on this forum.

how to lose pimples

Answered by a doctor

I have had pimples since I was small, though they only appear when I smile, which I think is pretty common. I hate my pimples so much that I often cover my mouth while I laugh a lot of the time, which makes me feel very bad. How can I lose these pimples? Is that something that is possible?
