Acne

Although 80% of teenagers suffer from acne, it can strike at any age. Doctors call it acne vulgaris.

Causes of acne

Acne in adolescence is triggered by the male hormone testosterone, which is present in the body to support growth. So testosterone can have over-stimulating effect on the sebaceous glands in the face, which leads to blockage of pores, blemishes and blackheads.
However, in later life causes of acne can exacerbated by problems such as stress, anxiety and depression. Also genetic or certain food (such as junk feeds) can contribute to trigger the pimples on the face and the body, such as jawline acne, chest acne or back acne.
