The red bumps on a human's face and / or pubic area is acne. Acne is caused by an excessive buildup of oil, released near the pores of the skin. As more oil is secreted from the glands, the pores become blocked by oil and accumulate dirt and other foreign particles. This accumulation widens the overall surface area of the skin's pores, but are also blocked by the same oil, dirt, etc. As the blocked pores become larger, the bloodflow in the veins and capillaries directly under the skin becomes increasingly blocked, although blood may be able to pass through. The point when the skin appears red is when a blood vessel or capillary is completely blocked and the blood begins to collect increasingly until it bursts. Acne is most common in adolescent humans (age 12 - 14) in the last stage of puberty.
