"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts. |
- 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."
- Pomona Sprout: "Silly girl. But Madam Pomfrey fixed her nose back on in the end."
- — Pomona Sprout and Hannah Abbott discuss Eloise Midgen's acne.[src]
Acne is an infection of the skin, caused by changes in the sebaceous glands which usually happen during puberty.[1] Acne can be treated with a solution of Bubotuber pus.[2]
Acne is also a part of a Mandrake's maturing cycle; once their acne has cleared up they are ready for repotting and after that reach maturity.[3]
Eloise Midgen was known to have a bad case of acne [2] and many of her colleagues at Hogwarts School used her as the standard against which really bad acne was to be measured.[4]
