Is acne a disease?

Acne is a disease or something else…

Answer #1

Hi,

Yes, acne is classified as disease. It is a common inflammatory disease of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands characterized by blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, nodules and, in the more severe forms, by cysts and scarring.

Hope that helps.

Answer #2

Its a skin complaint but not something you can catch. It doesn’t pass from one person to another.
