Acne is certainly the most common disease amongst young people: it affects more than 80% of the adolescent population. Few people can declare they have never had a pimple. Acne mostly affects the skin of the face and of the body in the areas where there are the higher concentration of sebaceous glands. These produce sebum. In those patients suffering from acne, these glands are more active, consequently there is an increase in the production of sebum called seborrhea. When the comedones break, the acne inflammatory process starts and the derma (the tissue that surrounds and confines with the comedones) becomes irritated. Small skin pores become wider making the skin appear redder and hotter.
Acne is basically an inflammation not an infection! As the inflammation continues and increases, other germs arrive contributing to the creation of the pustule.
