Qu'est-ce que l'acné?
It's caused by a cutaneous disorder
which affects the
pilo-sebaceous gland.
Its process is well-known: sebum is produced in excess, the skin's pores become clogged.
Certain bacteria take advantage of the lack of oxygen and proliferate.
A high level of proliferation results in the risk of inflammation.
Acne can start from as early as ten years old, and in most cases ends around 20 years.
