The sebum drains into the skin through an opening in the follicle called a pore. Keratinocytes also line the follicle these 3 items hair, sebum and keratinocytes can produce a plug. This plug can stop the sebum from reaching the skin and so sebum and other cells allow bacteria Propionibacterium acnes to grow inside the plugged follicles. The result is pimples.
