How exactly does touching the face cause a problem on existing acne and scars? Does it cause infections and more inflammation as a result?

acne is caused when sebum accumulates in the skin, and an inflammation is caused by the multiplication of bacteria due to the increased pressure (which you feel as pain), causing pus.
the more pressure, the more pus is created, the bigger the pimple.
And, every time you touch a pimple, pressure is applied, which aggravates the inflammation.

it worsenes the excisting inflammations, or inflames non-inflammatory acne.
