What Is Acne? Acne is a disease that affects the skin's oil glands. The small holes in your skin  (pores) connect to oil glands under the skin. These glands make an oily substance  called sebum. The pores connect to the glands by a canal called a follicle. Inside  the follicles, oil carries dead skin cells to the surface of the skin. A thin hair also  grows through the follicle and out to the skin. When the follicle of a skin gland clogs  up, a pimple grows. Most pimples are found on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. Acne is not  a serious health threat, but it can cause scars. How Does Acne Develop? Sometimes, the hair, sebum, and skin cells clump together into a plug. The  bacteria in the plug cause swelling.
