During childhood, the sebaceous glands are small and virtually nonfunctioning. These glands are under endocrine control, especially by the androgens. During puberty, androgens stimulate the sebaceous glands, causing them to enlarge and secrete natural oil called sebum, which rises to the top of the hair follicle and flows out onto the skin surface. In adolescents who develop acne, androgenic stimulation produces a heightened response in the sebaceous glands so that acne occurs when accumulated sebum plugs the pilosebaceuos ducts. This accumulated material forms comedones.
How scary can it be for parents to see their child with Acne? I must say it could be very scary for some especially when not so very well informed and its their first baby or first baby to have Baby Acne. Baby Acne looks like a rash. The pimples will appear like little bumps with the skin around being red. Its not normal to see the child itching because they usually don't itch the baby. If however you see the baby itching, it likely then is not baby Acne.
