  1. Our face is filled with small hair follicles (a small dot-like part of skin which grows hair)<\/li>\n
  2. When the hair comes out from the follicle, it causes opening up of the skin and exposes it to microorganisms and other dangers such loss of water and temperature change.<\/li>\n
  3. To protect the skin from these dangers, nature has provided all hair follicles with sebaceous glands (at least one per hair follicle), which produce an oil called sebum.<\/li>\n
  4. Sebum travels through the space that surrounds the hair to form a slightly greasy surface film on the skin, keeping it lubricated, protected from infections & loss of water.<\/li>\n
  5. Generally, the amount of sebum is well regulated, but some hormonal changes (e.g. puberty) stimulate the sebaceous glands to secret more sebum.<\/li>\n
  6. Now, human body keeps making new skin cells while shedding huge numbers each hour (we have 19 million skin cells for every inch and shed 3.6 kg every year).<\/li>\n
  7. But some times the dead skin cells, rather than falling on the floor or furniture, fall on our skin only and block the skin pores.<\/li>\n
  8. So, the sebum instead of spreading on the skin gets stuck and creates a small bump on the skin.<\/li>\n
  9. Sebum, being oil, is fat and therefore food to bacteria, which grow rapidly because of the rich nutrition from fat and cause infection.<\/li>\n
  10. As soon as brain senses infection, it signals our immune system to send antibodies in blood to fight this infection; the redness around pimples is because of this blood.<\/li>\n
  11. The swelling is immune system\u2019s way of cordoning off the area and every time we have an injury or infection, a fluid filled with white blood cells is sent over to the spot to curb spread.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
