Acne: Due to the large secretion of sebum by the sebaceous glands and the abnormal keratinization of the hair follicle mouth, resulting in a large number of sebum secretion and discharge obstacles, coupled with Propionibacterium acnes infection, can lead to acne, papules, pustules and even nodules in the hair follicles.
