These hyper activated sebaceous glands starts secreting excess of sebum which gets contaminated with bacteria and mixed with dead cells within the follicle proceeds towards the surface but forms plug in the pores. Thus the clogged pores prevent the excess of sebum produced inside to comes out and the bacteria begins to spread inside cause infection. On the other hand the body sends the repair kit to get the infected spot repair after healing. So the body tries to fight out the bacterial infection causing the inflammation.
