Bacterial Colonization of a Clogged Hair Follicle - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This medical illustration presents a cross-sectional view of a hair follicle affected by acne, highlighting bacterial involvement. The follicle is obstructed by keratinized debris and sebum, forming a plug that creates an anaerobic environment favorable for bacterial proliferation. The presence of yellow-colored bacteria (labeled) on the skin surface, near the follicular opening, indicates microbial colonization.
