Acne (Acne Vulgaris) occurs when oil and dead skin cells block your hair follicles. Each follicle is connected to a sebaceous gland, (the glands that produce sebum or oil).

A pimple is the inflammation caused in a blocked hair follicle as the build up of dead skin cells, sebum, other debris and bacteria causes irritation and swelling in the follicle.
