– acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the sebaceous hair follicles. Each follicle contains a tiny hair and multiple sebaceous glands. Acne vulgaris is caused by an excessive amount of oil production of the skin, blockage of the openings to the oil producing glands( resulting in tiny blackheads) and also due to bacterium, Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) which causes inflammation in the blocked glands.
