Acne is a condition of the skin that develops when the oil glands in our skin produce too much sebum and the skin pores become blocked . Bacteria develop in these clogged pores and causes inflammation – hence the appearance of acne.
A blackhead or whitehead can expel its contents to the surface and heal. Or , the follicle wall can rupture and inflammatory acne can ensue . This rupture can be caused by random occurrence or by picking or touching the skin. This is why it is important to leave acne prone skin relatively untouched.
