Acne bacteria itself does not have a distinct smell. However, the scent associated with acne may be due to the buildup of oils, dead skin cells, and sebum on the skin surface, which can interact with bacteria and lead to a noticeable odor. In some cases, this can be described as a sour or unpleasant smell. It is essential to maintain good hygiene and skincare practices to help reduce any odor associated with acne.
