What is acne? During the growing years a human being undergoes a lot of hormonal changes, some of these hormonal changes affect the sebaceous glands present at the extremities of the body. Under the action of hormones these sebaceous glands swell and secrete sebum which is a kind of oily sweat. Sometimes it so happens that due to some reason the sebum from the sebaceous glands fails to reach the surface of the skin and gets trapped in the tiny pores or follicles of the skin; this causes the wall of the follicle to bulge thereby creating a whitehead. If in any case the pore remains open for a while the surface of the plug may become darkened and that may finally lead to a black head formation. These places are a good habitat for the bacteria to grow now if by any chance bacteria and pus leak out from the follicle into the surrounding tissue a pimple is said to be formed.
