A fracture can occur in any bone in the body, including the vertebrae or the ribs, although it is most common in the extremities.

Compound fractures cause complications because open wounds are more susceptible to infection and substantial blood loss.
This annoying skin problem is caused by an overproduction of sebum, an oily substance which helps protect the skin.

People with naturally oily skin are more susceptible to acne.
