How does acne develop?

Acne develops from a chain reaction. If the sebaceous glands in the skin produce excessive amounts of sebum and this mixes with dead skin cells, the pores become clogged. This blockage leads to the formation of blackheads, which can then become inflamed, resulting in red pimples, pustules and nodules on the skin.

 

What are the causes of excessive sebum production?

One of the main causes is excessive production of sebum in the sebaceous glands of the skin due to hormonal changes. Hormones such as androgens, insulin and cortisol may also play a role in its development. External factors such as stress, unhealthy diet, pollution and the use of oily skin care products can also promote it.

Acne usually occurs on the face, back or chest, where most sebaceous glands are located. Symptoms can vary depending on the severity and type.
