When an individual attain puberty there is rise in the androgen hormones in the body. This phenomenon occurs in both the sexes. Due to this rise in androgens level there is hyperkeratinizaion (increased production of keratin) of sebaceous glands (oil and wax secreting glands).
This leads to the blockage of these sebaceous glands. When these glands get blocked by wax and keratin material they are called comedones. Comedones are of two types. Black heads are open comedones (the head of pimple is open) and white heads are closed comedons (
the head of pimple is closed).
There is a bacterium which commonly resides on our skin. It is called as Propionibacterium acnes. This bacterium can cause infection of these sebaceous glands if it gets impacted in the comedones. This infection leads to formation of papules. If inflammation happens around these pimples then it can lead to formation of pus.
