As with anything there are several answers because acne is a term that is used to describe several possible related conditions.
Generally speaking though, acne is formed when something causes a malfunction in our sebaceous glands, which are the little glands within our hair follicle that lubricate and moisturize our skin. The oil that they secrete is called sebum and it's wonderful stuff that keeps us from drying up, cracking, and disintegrating. However, if something were to clog said hair follicle, either with dirt or dead skin or via inflammation, that gland will keep making oil and trapped bacteria will grow at an alarming rate, because the body is unable to expel them. This infection causes an immune response, which can cause more swelling, and is the reason for all of the pus.
Why do pores and follicles become plugged? Most often it is related to poor hygiene, an increase in hormones, or genetic predisposition.
For more information on treating your acne, you should really talk to a dermatologist.
