Towards the summer, skin rashes occur on the face, chest, back due to the enhanced functioning of the sebaceous glands. Normally, sebum creates an acidic environment on the body, protecting the skin from microorganisms. With hyperfunction of the sebaceous glands, the composition of secreted secretion changes. At sebum bactericidal properties are lost. On the skin surface, favorable conditions are created for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. It is they who provoke inflammation and the formation of acne.
Another cause of skin rashes is the accumulation of dead cells, dirt and dust on oily skin. Small particles clog the ducts of the sebaceous glands. The secret can no longer be allocated as before, and because of this, the inflammatory process begins.
