How acne is formed
Inflammation caused by hormonal changes
forms the red spots on our skin.
Acne
is commonly found on your face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. It’s because
there are more oil glands on the skin of these areas. The function of oil
glands is to excrete oil substance (sebum) to lubricate your skin to make it
look glowing.
When your body produces an excess amount of sebum and dead
skin cells due to hormonal changes, the two can block your hair follicles and
form soft plug, which is a favourable environment for bacteria to thrive. When
the clogged hair follicles get infected and result in inflammation, the
follicle wall will bulge and form a pimple.
