what is the difference between acne and spots
There is no real difference, it is just a matter of quantity. If you have a few, they are usually referred to as âspotsâ, âpimplesâ or âzitsâ. But if you have quite a lot of whiteheads, blackheads or angry-looking inflamed spots, it is referred to as acne.he skin contains millions of sebaceous glands that secrete a grease (sebum), through the skin pores onto the surface of the skin. Normally sebum simply helps to keep the skin healthy. A spot forms when a pore becomes blocked by a plug of dead skin cells mixed with sebum.
