Propionibacterium acnes, also called as pachnus, is the major reason behind acne skin condition, which is also called as pimples.
00:13
Let us understand its role in production of pimples.
00:17
For that, firstly, let us understand the role of skin first.
00:23
So, suppose this is the skin and this is the hair on the skin which has grown out of a pose.
00:33
Beneath the skin.
00:35
Now the pore is surrounded by many glands called as sebastian's glands which produce sebum.
00:48
Now the sebum is important for the protection of the skin as it helps in hydrating the skin and in many other ways as well.
01:01
So it basically provides protection.
01:03
Somehow due to some reasons like puberty or stress, there is extra production of sebum.
01:10
So the sebum production increases.
01:14
This leads to clogging of the pore.
01:20
Now, the pore may be clogged because of the sebum and the dead cells that the skin generally sheds off.
01:32
So this pore is now being clogged by the excessive production of sebum and the dead cells that the skin sheds.
01:39
P -acneous is a common resident of the skin.
01:44
That is a commensal.
01:46
Suppose this purple dots explain p -aqueness.
01:50
Production of sebum and dead cells appreciate or increases the growth of the pachnus...
