Acne is a skin problem that is a big problem for men, acne is not a disease that can be deadly, but it can ruin the appearance of acne causing effects of lack of confidence.
In general, acne occurs in puberty, this is due to hormonal imbalances, as well as the formation of adult hormones, these hormones cause the sebaceous "glands sebum on the skin" becomes more aktif.Kenaikan activity has resulted in the production of sebum glands "oil" on the face are also rising. So pile sebum will emerge as one joined with dirt and dead skin cells that clog pores blockage.
At the time of the clogged pores grow and develop this kind of bacterium called "Propionibacterium acnes" which is the bacteria that causes acne. Propionibacterium acnes releases are similar irritants will irritate the skin, the effect of this will then cause irritation of the skin reddened and swollen. Besides, it also causes pus under the skin surface, all of these effects is a form of resistance sisitem immune to neutralize irritants produced by bacteria as well as tissue repair skin that has been irritated.
Here's a detailed explanation of Propionibacterium acnes
Propionibacterium acnes bacteria groups contained in Corynebacteria. These bacteria including the normal flora kulit.Propionibacterium acnes function in the pathogenesis of acne by producing lipase that breaks free fatty acids from lipids of the skin. These fatty acids can lead to infalamasi underarm tissue and support the immune system related to the occurrence of acne. Including Propionibacterium acnes bacteria that grow relatively slowly. These bacteria include the type of anaerobic gram-positive bacteria that are tolerant to air. Genome of this bacterium has been assembled and a study showing that some genes to produce enzymes to break down the skin and proteins, which may be immunogenic (activating the immune system).

Vital signs of the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes is irregularly shaped rod shown in gram-positive staining. These bacteria can grow in the air and do not produce endospores. These bacteria can form branched filaments or a mixture of forms of stem / filaments to form kokoid. Propionibacterium acnes requires oxygen from aerobic or facultative anaerobes to mikroerofilik or anaerobic.
