Acne Vulgaris

    Acne, clinically known as acne vulgaris, is the most common skin disease. It affects 85% of teenagers, some as young as 12, and often continues into adulthood. It is also called "pimples," "zits" or "blemishes."

    I provided a set of 6 illustrations depicting the anatomy of the skin and different types of acne relative to what we normally see (see photographs) for an AboutKidsHealth article on acne.
