What causes Acne?
Human skin has pores that connect to oil glands under the skin. These glands produce an oily liquid called sebum. These sebum carries dead skin cells through the follicles to the surface of the skin. A small hair grows through the follicle out of the skin.
Pimples or acne grow when these follicles get blocked and results in oil builds up under the skin. The swelling is caused when the skin cells, sebum, and hair can clump together into a plug and gets infected with bacteria. This plug begins to break down starts to develop acne. The severity and frequency of acne depend on the strain of bacteria.
