Pimples
are often caused by Propionebacterium acnes, a common bacterium on the
skin that feeds on sebum. The bacteria cause the surrounding tissues to
become inflamed and acne is formed. The acne bacteria feeds off this
mixture which leads to inflamed conditions.
Acne-causing bacteria
are anaerobic, meaning they cannot survive in an oxygenated environment.
Bacteria called Corynebacterium acnes, which cause skin fats to break
down into irritating chemicals, can also directly contribute to an
outbreak.
