The main cause of acne is the increased secretion of androgens during puberty, which can stimulate the sebaceous glands in the skin to increase their secretion; when these sebum can not be completely discharged from the sebaceous ducts, and gathered in the mouth of the follicle, and the epithelial cells shed at the mouth of the follicle mixed to form a yellow-white cheese-like substance, plugging the mouth of the follicle, becoming acne. The acne bacillus bacteria that exist in the hair follicle can multiply under anaerobic conditions and stimulate the hair follicle to cause inflammation, which further damages the hair follicle wall and causes inflammation around the hair follicle to form acne. Of course, there are other factors, including excessive consumption of fried and spicy foods and constipation, which are important triggering factors.
