They do so by producing an oily substance called sebum.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p><p>In acne, the glands begin to produce too much sebum. The excess sebum mixes with dead skin cells and both substances form a plug in the follicle. If the plugged follicle is close to the surface of the skin, it bulges outwards, creating a whitehead. Alternatively, the plugged follicle can be open to the skin, creating a blackhead.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ddda30 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1ddda30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Normally harmless bacteria that live on the skin can then contaminate and infect the plugged follicles, causing papules, pustules, nodules or cysts.<sup>1 <\/sup><\/p><p>Further, hormonal changes, such as those taking place during the menstrual cycle or pregnancy, can also lead to episodes of acne in women. Hormones also thicken the inner lining of the hair follicle, causing blockage of the pores.
