Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Acne is a common condition that affects millions of people in the U.S. It most often begins in puberty, when male sex hormones-known as androgens-increase in both boys and girls, causing the sebaceous glands to become more active and produce more sebum, commonly known as oil.

Detailed explanation-2: -Acne is a common skin condition that happens when hair follicles under the skin become clogged. Sebum-oil that helps keep skin from drying out-and dead skin cells plug the pores, which leads to outbreaks of lesions, commonly called pimples or zits.

Detailed explanation-3: -Our skin is covered with tiny holes called pores, which contain sebaceous glands (also called oil glands) that make sebum, an oil that moistens your hair and skin. Sometimes a pore gets clogged up with too much sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This can cause acne.
