If the causes of acne are multiple, all have in common an epidermis whose sebaceous glands produce too much sebum. Present under the skin at the base of each hair, the overly productive sebaceous glands accumulate sebum, which ends up forming a “plug”, or blackhead, under which various bacteria and debris of dead skin are trapped. These bacteria feed on sebum and are therefore in heaven! A vicious circle then begins, encouraging their proliferation under the skin, inflammation of the epidermis, and the appearance of whiteheads. In turn, these pimples are the source of sores, beds of new lesions favorable to the acneic state. This condition also causes scars that take years to fade.
