All about acne
Did you know that acne is the most common skin condition? About 85% of teenage boys, 80% of teenage girls, and 8% of adults aged 25 to 34 years are affected by some form of acne. While acne is most commonly found on the face, it can also appear on your neck, back, chest, and shoulders.
What causes acne?
Acne is caused by excess oil and dead skin cells that build up and clog pores. Rising hormone levels in puberty cause the skin glands to produce extra oil, which is why acne is particularly common among teens and young adults. Family history can also play a role. Simply put, if your parents had acne, it’s more likely you will, too.
