- Pomona Sprout: "An excellent remedy for the more stubborn forms of acne, Bubotuber pus. Should stop students resorting to desperate measures to rid themselves of pimples."
- Hannah Abbott: "Like poor Eloise Midgen. She tried to curse hers off."
- — Discussion of Eloise Midgen's acne[src]
Acne is an infection of the skin, caused by changes in the sebaceous glands which usually happen during puberty.[3]
History[]
Acne could be treated with a solution of Bubotuber pus.[2]
Acne was also a part of a Mandrake's maturing cycle; once their acne had cleared up they were ready for repotting and after that reach maturity.[4]
Eloise Midgen was known to have a bad case of acne[2] and many of her fellow students at Hogwarts School used her as the standard against which really bad acne was to be measured.[5]
The effects of the Dumbledore's Army parchment jinx were stated in a generalised manner to make severe acne "look like a couple of cute freckles".[6]
Moaning Myrtle was described by Peeves as "spotty", suggesting that she suffered from acne when she died.[7]
