Common Causes of Acne

Acne can effect people of almost all ages, races and genders.

Many things are said to cause acne, including greasy food, dirty skin, and clogged pores. However, none of these problems actually cause acne by themselves.

Acne is usually caused when overactive oil glands in the sebaceous glands the skin become stimulated by hormones during the teen years. The excess oil combines with dirt, and bacteria, and the resulting irritation is seen on the surface of the skin. These lesions are commonly called pimples, blemishes, whiteheads, blackheads and zits.

The condition is more common in boys than in girls, and people with a family history of acne are more likely to get the disease. Stress can bring on or aggravate acne, and certain drugs can cause flare-ups including tranquilizers, antidepressants, antibiotics, oral contraceptives, and anabolic steroids. It is always good to consult with a doctor about acne to determine if medication or hormonal disorders may play a part. Other than medical condition, acne is usually the result of dirt, oil and bacteria clogged in pores.
