Best Answer

The acne bacterium which is known as Propionibacterium acnes lives on everyone's skin, usually causing no problems, but, in those prone to acne, the build up of oil creates an ideal environment in which these bacteria prefer to multiply. This then triggers inflammation and the formation of red or pus-filled spots

Acne can run in families, but this does not necessarily mean that if your parents had acne you will get it too.
