It is primarily a disorder of the sebaceous gland (glands in the skin that secrete an oily substance) of the face, the neck and back. When the sebaceous glands become clogged with the oily substance they create, the accumulation results in pimples. There are several forms of acne, but the most common is acne vulgaris, found primarily in adolescents.  staff@medicalread.com (Medicalread Staff) Sun, 11 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.medicalread.com/articles/2/1/looking-into-laser-acne-treatment.html Laser acne treatment has been around for a few years now, and it is quickly replacing more traditional forms of acne removal and prevention. As antibiotics become increasingly ineffective due to overuse, more and more people are opting for this new technique. During laser resurfacing, a doctor holds a laser pen just above the acne or acne scar tissue and waves the concentrated beam of light back and forth, vaporizing only the unwanted tissue and creating a new surface for skin cell growth. Thus the term “laser resurfacing”. staff@medicalread.com (Medicalread Staff) Sun, 11 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.medicalread.com/articles/1/1/three-ways-to-easily-treat-your-body-acne.html Are you suffering from Body acne? or Zits below the neckline?
