Acne is often associated with puberty which is when a surge of androgen hormones can overstimulate the sebaceous glands (oil-producing glands in hair follicles). Skin cells that are shed from the lining of the hair follicle become trapped in sebum forming a plug below the surface of the skin, clogging the pores, which then attracts bacteria, so that the clogged pores become infected and inflamed, which is how the pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads (comedones) of acne form, causing an acne outbreak.
