Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that usually affects teenagers during hormonal changes and can also occur in adulthood. Excess sebum (an oil-like substance produced by the sebaceous glands) clogs the pores, trapping impurities inside and creating blackheads and pimples.
One bacterium in particular that is present on our skin is known as Propionibacterium Acnes (recently called Cutinebacterium Acnes) which proliferates and causes inflammation.

Pollution
