Acnes are common pimples that grow on the skin when the face is oily and the pores are blocked. Mostly these happen during teenage due to hormonal changes in the body, for many, this continues appearing even in the middle age. The oil glands in the face are connected to the pore of the face. When the follicles get clogged up, pimples appear due to the clogging of the oil gland.
