Active Acne
Though acne is typically associated with adolescence, acne is not confined to teenage years; adults well into their 40s can get acne, and many do. Some people experience acne for the first time as adults. Acne happens when the pores get blocked with dead skin cells. Sebum, the oily substance that is secreted by the sebaceous glands that help keep the skin and hair moisturized normally drains to the surface. However, if the sebum gets blocked bacteria such as P. acne begins to grow and the pore can become inflamed. Inflammation is what causes a pimple to look red and swollen.
