The endocrine gland responsible for the development of acne is the sebaceous gland. These glands are located in the skin and produce sebum, an oil that helps to keep the skin and hair moisturized. However, when the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, it can clog pores and lead to the formation of pimples. Hormonal changes, such as those that occur during puberty or menstruation, can also contribute to an increase in sebum production and the development of acne.
