What is Acne?
Acne is a chronic skin condition that often appears on the face, back, chest, or shoulders. It’s caused by blocked pores, excess oil production, inflammation, and sometimes bacteria. While it’s most common in teenagers, adults can experience acne too. Hormones, stress, and skincare products can also play a role.

If you're experiencing a serious medical issue — including chest pain, difficulty breathing, or mental health crises — call 111 immediately and request an ambulance.
For urgent or complex care that needs an in-person assessment, we recommend visiting your regular GP, after-hours clinic, or nearest hospital.
