1) Skins that produce a lot of sebum by its nature :
Because the sebaceous gland produces a lot of sebum, the skin becomes oily, the pores expand, and lots of acnes break out.

2) Expansion of the capacity of the sebaceous gland at puberty :
The sebum-secretion capacity of a person suddenly expands at puberty because of androgen, a hormone that starts to be secreted from that point of time. The excessive sebum produced during the period is unable to go out of the skin pore completely and accumulats in the sebaceous tissue of the hair follicle.

3) Excessive stress:
Stress is another factor that causes the secretion of sebum to increase.

4) Menstruation and pregnancy:
Women who have acne breakouts during the menstrual period are liable to develop acnes during pregnancy. For the hormone progesterone is secreted in a large amount during pregnancy.



1) Effects of androgen:
Sebum is secreted due to the effect of androgen, which starts to be secreted at puberty. The sebum is excreted out of the skin pore, and when androgen exerts effects upon the skin, the keratinization of the skin is promoted. This results in the thickening of the keratin layer.

2) Acne germs:
People with oily skin not only produce a lot of sebum but have many acne germs, which block the pores and make the outbreak of acnes inevitable.

3) Infection of hair follicle worms:
This is not a problem when there are a few worms. But when they increase, inflammations may occur around the follicles, causing acnes.

4) Makeup:
One of the main causes of skin pore blockage among women past puberty is makeup.
