Causes of acne
Acne in adolescence is triggered by the male hormone testosterone, which is present in the body to support growth. 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 genetics or certain food (such as junk foods) can contribute to trigger the pimples on the face and the body, such as jawline acne, chest acne or back acne.
