thnx|||Yes, I guess the one or two pimples you get every now and then especially around or just before you get your period are one thing and acne is another. Some types of acne is actually a bacterial infection of the skin and can be actually reduced or completely cured through antibiotics.Some types are cause by blocked pours of the person has very greasy skin. Make sure you go to the skin doctor and get the correct advice. Don%26#039;t let this go on for too long or it will scar for life. Another reason might be kissing someone with a stubbly chin, make sure the guy in your life is clean shaved!! Use mild tonic for the skin without alcohol and eat fresh foods with lots of vitamin c, but please go and see the doctor, he might not even give you antibiotics to swallow but an antibacterial cream to put on the area, take care and hope you recover soon.|||Acne appears as whiteheads and/or blackheads on the face, shoulders, neck and chest. Acne can range from mild to severe and can last a few weeks, months, years or can come and go throughout life. If a blemish becomes infected, a pimple can result.|||I don%26#039;t know for sure but, I think acne is pimples in severe form. A pimple is like 1 zit but having them so bad that they are pimples on top of pimples and they scar, that%26#039;s acne. Anyway, some people are more prone than others, your diet and lack of sleep might affect it some but if it really bugs you see a dermatologist, they help a lot!|||Acne in and of itself is actually a %26quot;disease of the skin%26quot;.... Pimples are Acne lesions.





In other words, pimples are the singular %26quot;white spot%26quot; that we all know and love (note the sarcasm), while acne is the skin condition that has a LOT of pimples.





As far as staying up late, that might have a little to do with it... but it couldn%26#039;t be the only thing. Acne is caused by a combination of a lot of factors, the primary of which is hormones. Staying up late may reduce the effectiveness of your immune system, which may have some sort of impact, but not much.
