 Normal skin where the sebum secretion is at the required quantity and oily skin where excess sebum secretion is seen acne is mainly an issue with oily skin type the hair follicles present under the skin routinely shed dead skin cells along with sebum but when the body produces extra sebum and dead skin cells they are not completely shed instead they stick together and block the tiny pores. This results in skin blemishes which encourages the growth of bacteria in that region some bacteria are naturally present on the skin and are harmless but under favorable conditions, they flourish leading to inflammation and spots.
