Acne is a complex disorder caused by the interaction of hormones, genetics, and the environment. it is characterized by the overproduction of sebum, which causes the skin's pores to become blocked and inflamed. this leads to the formation of whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. the inflammation associated with acne can also cause the skin to become red and irritated. additionally, bacteria, such as propionibacterium acnes, can become trapped in the pores and cause additional inflammation.
