The sebaceous gland which produces 'sebum' oil. Acne is caused when hair follicles are blocked, causing pours to fill with oil produced by these glands along with dead skin cells.

There are different types of acne. Fungal and bacterial. Fungal is pus-filled spots of matching sizes, whereas bacterial vary in size and can also be black heads.

Acne is an infection of the pores.

Your skin (all of it) has tiny holes in the skin called pores. Some people's pores are large and others' are too small to see. When these pores get clogged with various things like lotion, oils from naturally oily skin or dirt and bacteria they flare-up into pimples also known as zits. If you have many zits on your face it is called acne.

Yes, this is the sebaceous gland. This gland produces 'sebum' oil. Acne is then caused when hair follicles are blocked, causing pours to fill with oil produced by these glands along with dead skin cells.
