While you can’t miss these pesky spots, they are described as lesions on the skin that are red, swollen and may or may not have pus.
Ordinarily skin has tiny glands through which sebum (an oily liquid) is released. These glands then drain oil through your pore onto the surface of your skin.
Acne develops when this process has been disrupted in any of the following ways:
- Increased oil production providing a cozy home for bacterial growth
- Dry dead skin and debris plugs the pore.
- Bacteria become trapped within this plug.
