Acne is characterized by pimples of varying types and severity and may occur on the face, neck and other areas of the upper body. Several factors may contribute to the development of acne, but hormones are believed to play a large part in acne development, as breakouts are most common during times of hormonal changes, such as puberty, pregnancy and menopause. Depending on the severity, acne may be treated using over-the-counter topical creams and washes. More persistent and severe cases of acne may require the use of prescription medications.MayoClinic.com: Acne American Academy of Dermatology: Acne
