A gay skin condition probably caused by all the crap the FDA let's food distributors put in our food that causes red bumps to come up on your face, back, chest, and sometimes your arms. Sometimes acne is so bad that some people (Like me) have to go on Accutane only to be let down by it 5 months later because your acne is so severe and you got conjuctivitis and bloody pores for nothing.

[Sarah]

A horrible skin condition which causes puss-filled pockets under your skin to form, often times becoming red and inflamed. The condition may be alleviated by using topical acne creams/wash/pads consisting of salycilic acid or benzoyl peroxide. However, for some people, their acne tends to be fucking gay and never really go away, even temporarily. As a result, those suffering from it will feel like shit and want to kill themselves because their face is hideous and unattractive (remember, the face makes the picture).

Something almost everyone gets at one time or another. It's most common in adolescents who are going through puberty, and is due to the abundance of hormones flowing through their bodies. Usually it starts in early teens and ends in the early to late twenties, occasionally it will extend past thirty and sometimes even into someones forties or fifties.

Acne is not due to dirt, oily foods, or chocolate/sugar. Milk has been linked to increase in acne, however. Stress/anger can cause hormonal changes which can cause acne. Excessive touching of the face is also a bad idea. Genetics also play a key role.

Washing ones face will help, however people who have acne don't necessarily not wash their faces. If the case is especially serious, one should consult a doctor to be put on an anti-acne drug. Common ones include: Erythromycin, tetracycline, and clindamycin.
