    bacteria on skin contributing to acne development

    Cutibacterium acnes, formerly known as Propionibacterium acnes, is a type of bacteria commonly found on human skin. It plays a role in the development of acne by contributing to inflammation and infection within hair follicles. While it is a normal part of the skin's microbiome, an overgrowth or imbalance can lead to skin issues.
