This results in blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and the potential for scarring. These issues typically affect areas with a higher number of oil glands, such as the face, upper chest, and back.
Often, people may attempt to squeeze spots and blemishes to improve their appearance, but this can worsen inflammation and may even lead to permanent scars.
