What is a characteristic of acne?

  1. Build up of cells, oil secretions, and bacteria. Lack of oxygen

  2. Cools the skin

  3. Lubricates the skin

  4. Small, hard white bump

The correct answer is: Build up of cells, oil secretions, and bacteria. Lack of oxygen

Acne is characterized by a buildup of cells, oil secretions, and bacteria, leading to conditions such as clogged pores, inflammation, and breakouts. Lack of oxygen can contribute to the development of acne by creating an environment where bacteria can thrive. This buildup can result in various types of acne lesions, such as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, or cysts. Acne is a common skin condition that requires proper treatment and skincare routines to manage effectively. Choices B, C, and D do not accurately describe characteristics of acne.
