Acne is a disorder of the hair follicle sebaceous glands, consisting of non-inflammatory lesions (open and closed comedones) and inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules and nodules). Many factors are responsible for the development of acne – sebum excretion, androgenic hormones, occlusions of sebaceous gland pores, and infection with propionibacterium acnes. The development of acne is also influenced by genetic factors, gastrointestinal function, environmental factors, cosmetics, and emotional factors.


Acne is essentially due to excessive activity of the sebaceous glands, which are most numerous in the skin of the face, chest, and back. During puberty, theses glands grow rapidly and keratin may block the opening. Where partially dried keratinous matter blocks the opening of the sebaceous glands, comedones (whiteheads or blackheads) appear. In more serious cases, sebum trapped in the glands leaks around the pilosebaceous unit and may become infected by bacteria, resulting in papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts.
