Many men and women also suffer from acne breakouts. There are many cases where acne has occured in children and babies.

When oil (aka sebum) and dead skin cells become trapped within the hair follicle, pimples are developed. The sebum and dead skin cells create a plug within the pore.

The follicle wall may rupture within the dermis due to excessive build up of trapped oil under the skin. This condition creates inflammation and redness. The serverity of blemishes vary depending on the damage to the follicle wall. Not every pimple sufferer suffers from inflamed breakouts. Most people with pimples have a number of non-inflamed lesions, or comedones.
