Acne is an infection of the skin that occurs in the shaft of the hair follicle when P.acne bacteria and oil from the sebaceous gland becomes trapped below the surface of the skin.

Causes of Acne

Acne is caused when a healthy hair follicle becomes blocked by skin cells that have not shed properly and have stuck together in the shaft of the hair follicle. When this happens, the oil produced by the sebaceous gland and p.acne bacteria are no longer able to exit through the surface of the skin. Inflammation occurs and acne is born.
