Similarly, your sex organs produce certain hormones called androgenic hormones. Testosterone is one of the androgenic hormones that directly affect on muscles and hair follicles. Hair follicles are susceptible to excessive testosterone. Acne is the disorder of inflammation of hair follicles and sebaceous glands.

Excessive hormones trigger sebaceous glands to produce excessive sebum which get stuck within narrowed hair follicles. When hair follicles are clogged, and sebum is being produced continuously, it exerts pressure on walls of hair follicles and causes to rupture them. At this juncture, one or several bumps appear called whiteheads, blackheads or pimples.
