WHY DOES ACNE OCCUR
Acne is a disease of the sebaceous glands under our skin. The number and diameter of sebaceous glands are different in every person, just like the color of our eyes. The sebaceous glands are more numerous in some people and their synthesis is greater. This is oily skin type. The oil secreted from these sebaceous glands is thrown to the skin surface through channels. When oil synthesis is excessive, these channels expand and become clogged with oil; thus, the black and white comedones seen on our skin are formed. These black and white comedomes form the basis of acne. Acne develops with the addition of bacteria.
