Answer: acne

Step-by-step explanation:

Acne is a skin problem. It occurs when the hair follicles present in the skin get blocked with oil glands and dead cells of skin. It often results in blackheads, whiteheads and pimples. The acne usually appears on the face, chest, shoulders, and even the upper back. It is commonly seen in teenagers but can affect people of all age groups.
