Acne sucks. What sucks even more is that it seemingly targets some of our most invisible body parts: Butt and our lovely boobs. Why is that, though? It’s not like those areas are any more dirty or sweaty than our feet. What gives?
Actually it’s all about the location of your body’s oil-producing glands. The areas of the skin that contain the highest number of pilosebaceous units — which are structures that contain both a hair follicle and a sebaceous oil gland — are the areas where we’re most prone to acne. When bacterial growth and inflammation occur within that structure, it manifests itself in the form of a pimple.
