Acne is classified in 4 different grades. Essentially it is a blockage of the sebaceous gland with an inflammatory response. Acne can include comedones (blackheads), pustules, papules, cysts and scars.
Hormones can influence the amount of sebum which is produced by the sebaceous gland. P.acnes bacterium irritates the pilosebaceous unit causing inflammation.
