Acne is a skin disorder that is manifested by different types of bumps. They include whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and cysts. What causes these annoying bumps? The skin is covered with tiny holes called hair follicles or pores. The pores contain sebaceous glands (also called oil glands) that produce sebum, an oil that moistens your hair and skin.
Most often, these glands produce the right amount of sebum and the pores are fine. But sometimes, a lot of sebum, dead skin cells and germs called bacteria clog the pores, which can cause acne.
If a pore gets clogged, closes and protrudes from the skin surface forming a white spot. If a pore gets clogged but stays open, the top surface can darken and a blackhead. Sometimes, the pore walls are broken, allowing sebum; bacteria and dead skin cells break through the skin below.
This produces a small red infection called grain. Clogged pores that open on a deep level of skin can cause major infections that are called cysts.
