Acne
Acne (or Furunculosis) is an inflammation of the milk glands and the follicles. Acne usually appears during adolescence as the result of a bad reaction to testosterone. The body’s reaction to the hormone usually stabilizes over time and the symptoms associated with acne disappear or become far less visible.
