The silent epidemic is a term which refers to neurodegenerative
disorders (such as Alzheimer's disease, sequelaes of stroke &
Parkinson's disease) which plagues the majority of the geriatric

public visibility and their social isolation.

What Is Acne?
Acne is a disease that affects the skin's oil glands. The small holes
in your skin (pores) connect to oil glands under the skin. These glands
make an oily substance called sebum. The pores connect to the glands by
a canal called a follicle. Inside the follicles, oil carries dead skin
cells to the surface of the skin. A thin hair also grows through the
follicle and out to the skin. When the follicle of a skin gland clogs
up, a pimple grows.
