Acne is acne. Acne is mostly caused by excessive sebum secretion, abnormal keratinization of cells around the hair follicle, excessive proliferation of Propionibacterium acnes, etc.

Why do you get acne?

1. Excessive sebum secretion

When the level of androgen in the body increases, the sebaceous glands function will be more vigorous, which will lead to a large amount of skin oil secretion and block the hair follicle, causing acne.

2. Abnormal keratinization of cells around the hair follicle Abnormal keratinization of cells around the hair follicle

can easily narrow or block the hair follicle opening, resulting in the inability to normally discharge sebum in the hair follicle and cause acne.

Why do you get acne?

3. Excessive proliferation of Propionibacterium acnes

Propionibacterium acnes has the effect of hydrolyzing triglycerides in sebum and producing free fatty acids, and free fatty acids stimulate hair follicles to cause inflammatory reactions around the hair follicle, causing acne.
