Acne-prone skin suffers from an inflammatory dermatosis which can be classified according to different names depending on the manifested alteration. Acne generally affects young people and can last for a number of years, causing unsightly scarring.

The bacteria responsible for this infection are corine bacterium, propioni bacterium, and staphilococcum epidermis which stimulate themselves and grow, invading areas of the face, chest and back. The keratin and lipids that fill the philosebacaeous opening block it and give rise to a blackhead or a blocked cyst. Subsequently, with the help of bacteria, infected pus forms thus giving rise to acne pustules.
