Acne is a very common skin condition that commonly begins during puberty. Acne is often attributed to DNA factors and a strong family history is usually present in acne clients. According to one United Kingdom study of twins, 81% of their acne was due to genetic factors linked to androgen hormones. The acne skin condition can also be aggravated by emotional stress and environmental factors. Acne is a broad term that includes blackheads and whiteheads, pimples, pustules, and nodules. Acne typically manifests on the face, neck, back, and chest.
