Nobody knows anything about acne except a few names to call it. It has nothing to do with washing, dirt, oil, sex, or diet. It only happens in a hair follicle. The stuff inside is sebum, which naturally lubricates the hair. If the follicle is covered by skin, the sebum stays white and that is called a whitehead. If it is open, the sebum that reaches air turns black and that is called a blackhead. The only known cure is to outgrow it, and that is not very reliable.
If there is any red or yellow around the pustules then you have a treatable condition and should see a dermatologist.
Acne can occur due to several reasons and one of them is hormonal changes. During pregnancy and even after that a woman's body goes through a lot of changes and this could lead to acne. It is important to get it treated and also get acne scars removal done before it becomes permanent.
