Acne damages the skin. The bacteria and oil cause damage to the pores, skin, and underlying tissue. In response, the body sends white blood cells and other treatment molecules called collagen to the area in an attempt to heal the damaged tissues. Most acne scars only affect the outer layers of skin. Depending on how much collagen one’s body produces affects the scar type, if the scars are depressed the body does not produce enough collagen, if the scars are raised the body produced too much collagen (American Association of Dermatology 2011).

Acne vulgaris is the most common cutaneous disorder affecting adolescents and young adults. Acne vulgaris is a disease of pilosabaceous follicles with four pathogenic factors. These factors are follicular hyperkeratinization, increased sebum production, infection with Propionibacterium acnes within the follicle, and resulting inflammation. Follicular hyperkeratinization is increased proliferation and decreased desquamation of keratinocytes lining the follicular orifice. This results in partial obstruction of the follicle with sebum and keratin, the microcomedo. Sebaceous glands enlarge with adrenarche due to DHEA-S rise and sebum production increases. Sebum provides a growth medium for P. acnes, an anaerobic diphtheroid that is

Moderate and severe inflammatory types of acne are the result of plugged follicles being invaded by the bacteria that normally lives on the skin. The role of the bacteria is unclear. Bacteria may act by causing chemical reactions in the sebaceous fluid, leading to the release of very irritating compounds called fatty acids. These in turn cause inflammation that increases susceptibility to infection. A pimple forms when the damaged follicle weakens and bursts open, releasing a substance (sebum, bacteria, and skin) into the surrounding tissues. Pimples that are near the skin’s surface and are inflamed are called papules. When pimples are deeper they are called pustules. This process begins an inflammatory response that sets the stage for the development of acne.
