Inflammatory Immune Response

P. acnes (Propionibacterium acnes) bacteria that normally live on the skin feed on the mixture of sebum and dead skin cells, thrive, and can set off an inflammatory immune response, drawing white blood cells to fight the bacteria.

Bursting of Follicle

When the plugged follicle canal can no longer hold its contents, the pus bursts and spills into the dermis, resulting in a spreading inflammation and more tissue destruction.

A microcomedone can evolve into a number of different lesions that represent the stages of acne. Whiteheads and blackheads are comedones that are not inflamed.

When the pore becomes clogged and bloated with the oil, dead skin cell, and bacteria mixture that stays beneath the skin, a whitehead or closed comedone forms. The area becomes a slightly raised bump on the skin.

With an open comedone, the mixture is exposed to air at the skin’s surface through an open pore, and the plug darkens. The pores become black spots or blackheads.
