What exactly does it mean when your acne begins to itch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Itchy acne: Acne is a type of inflammation in and around hair follicles. Inflammatory reactions can sometimes itch. Also it is possible that one of the products you are using for your acne is causing dryness, irritation or an allergic reaction. Those are itchy as well.
