Acupuncture for Acne
Acne is a skin problem that starts when oil and dead skin cells clog up your pores. Some people call it blackheads, blemishes, whiteheads, pimples, or zits. If germs get into the pores, the result can be swelling, redness, and pus. Pimples that are large and deep are called cystic lesions. These can be painful if they get infected. They also can scar the skin.
