What Causes AcneNobody knows the exact reasons that cause acne but there are some factors which CAN be resposible for appearence of all the types of acne: pimples, whiteheads and blackheads. An origin can be different but the order of actions is invariable:

  • Overaction of sebaceous (oil) glands.
  • Derm pores blocking.
  • Overactive reproduction of Propionibacterium acnes (skin bacteria).
  • Inflammation of the skin.

    There are some oil (sebaceous) glands in the deepth of the skin. All the glands are connected to hair follicle and a hair. Usually these tonsils produce substance called sebum to amp the surface of the skin but in some circumstances (e.g. during puberty) the sebum glands can become overactive influenced usual gormons. Tonsils enlarge, overproduce sebum and eventually block the skin pores. Acne appear when some pores are blocked and this situation cause overactivity of Propionibacterium acnes which begin to multiply and cause getting inflamed surrounding tissues.
