Acne is developed when oily substance (called sebum has a role to lubricate the skin and hair) and dead skin cells plugs hair follicles. The bacteria in the plug causes swelling and a pimple grows when a plug starts breakdown. Bacteria also causes infection which leads to more acne. (4) (5)

During puberty, the changes occur with the body are regulated by the hormone named androgen which is a male sex hormone and androgen also regulates the hormones in the female body. One of the things it does in puberty, it increases the production of oil in the body.

The oil named is sebum which is produced in the sebaceous glands. Whenever dead skin cells on the body block the pore of sebum, then it starts building up in the sebaceous gland and blackheads and whiteheads develop. If this gets inflamed then it converts its form into a pimple. Our body has more oil glands in the area of shoulders, face, chest, forehead and back.

The production of sebum reduces at the age of 20. And the acne issue automatically comes to its end.

But there are also some teenagers who have no acne issue in their life. Therefore it is believed that there are also some other factors which play an important role in this regard, such as genetic factors and the immune system. (6)

Risk Factors Or Some Myths About Acne

The exact reason behind the acne issue is still not clear. There is just a guess that in teenage and during pregnancy, there are a lot of hormonal changes in the body. So hormone changes might be the reason behind this.

People often target chocolate, food rich in carbohydrates and greasy food for acne development but there is not sufficient evidence for showing that food plays a vital role in the acne problem.

Another myth is this, dirt and dirty skin causes acne but this is not true. Pimples, blackheads and whiteheads are not caused by dirt.

One more myth is this, stress can't cause acne but can make this situation worse.

Cosmetics can't play a significant role if you are using non-oily makeup or removing your makeup everyday.

There is not a solid scientific proof that smoking plays a role in acne but avoiding smoking can give you the upper hand in preventing the acne problem.
