Inside your hair follicles, there are small glands called sbumde oil. This oil mixes with skin cells in the follicle and joins them on the journey outward. But when there is too much sebum, too many dead skin cells or something on the surface that blocks their exit from the follicle, a deadlock may occur. Bacteria joins the party, and the result is acne vulgar is, the most common form of acne.
