What causes acne
ACNE
Almost everyone gets acne. Most people have some acne between the ages of 10 to 20.
Almost all teens worry about how their skin looks, but acne is a very common problem that can be well controlled with proper treatment.
Causes of Acne
Acne is caused by an obstruction, or plugging, of the sebaceous follicle (oil gland).
Plugging of the skin opening of the gland causes a blackhead. A plug that occurs below the surface of the skin causes a whitehead. These can become inflamed or infected, which results in small bumps or cysts.
Acne is not caused by foods, or by poor hygiene, as is commonly believed. Excessive face washing or scrubbing with abrasive pads can actually make acne worse!
