Causes of Acne

Acne can form as a result of numerous different factors.

Many people deal with acne through their teenage years, particularly during puberty. These are caused by androgen hormones, which cause the sebaceous glands to produce too much oil leading to blocked follicles.

Not exclusive to teenagers, however, these hormones can change during midlife as well and lead to embarrassing breakouts. Women, in particular, are susceptible to these breakouts because of the hormonal changes caused by menopause. Other causes of acne include:

  • Certain medications
  • Poor Diet (particularly one heavy in carbohydrates and processed foods)
  • Stress
  • and more
