*What is acne?
Acne is a skin disease that involves the oil glands at the
base of hair follicles.
Acnes commonly occur during puberty.
They are red spots that usually appear on our faces,
backs, chests, shoulders and necks.
Why Do Acnes Emerge On Our Bodies?
Nobody is completely sure what causes
acne. Experts believe the primary cause is a
rise in androgen levels - androgen is a type of
hormone. Androgen levels rise when a human
becomes an adolescent. Rising androgen levels
make the oil glands under your skin grow; the
enlarged gland produces more oil. Excessive
sebum can break down cellular walls in your
pores, causing bacteria to grow.
Some studies indicate that a susceptibility
to acne could also be genetic. Some medications
that contain androgen and lithium may cause
acne. Greasy cosmetics may cause acne in some
susceptible people.
