Acne is an inflammatory disease of the skin, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland).
Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples or zits.
The condition is most common in puberty, especially among Western societies most likely due to a higher genetic predisposition.
Excessive secretion of oils from the sebaceous glands combines with naturally occurring dead skin cells to block the hair follicles.

In response, the skin inflames, producing the visible lesion

Diet: It is unclear what role diet plays in worsening acne. Scientists have found that people who consume a diet that offers a good supply of vitamins A and E and of zinc may have a lower risk of severe acne. One review describes the link between acne and diet as "controversial," but suggests that a diet with a low glycemic load may help. Tea-tree oil: Results of a study of 60 patients published in the Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology suggested that 5-percent tea-tree oil may help treat mild to moderate acne. Tea: There is some evidence that polyphenols from tea , including green tea, applied in a topical preparation, may be beneficial in reducing sebum production and treating acne.
