An infection of the sebaceous glands, commonly known as acne, occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This leads to inflammation and the formation of pimples, which can vary in severity. Acne is particularly common during puberty due to hormonal changes that increase oil production, but it can affect individuals at any age. Treatment options include topical medications, oral antibiotics, and lifestyle changes to manage outbreaks.
