Acne vulgaris: Acne is a skin condition that involves papules (inflamed pimples), pustules (spots containing pus), erythema (skin redness), and tenderness. It mainly occurs on the face, back, and chest. Acne occurs due to plugging of hair follicles with oil and dead skin cells. Symptoms include pimples, bumps, and uninflamed blackheads.

Hirsutism: Hirsutism is unwanted male-pattern hair growth in women, which occurs due to excess male hormones called androgens. This causes excess amounts of stiff and pigmented hair on a woman’s face, back and chest.
