Acne is a very common skin condition where blocked pores (due to oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells) lead to breakouts, typically on the face, neck, back, shoulders, and chest. It can cause issues like redness, swelling, uneven texture, discoloration, and scarring. Factors like hormones and genetics play a role in its development in teenagers and adults.
The following factors may increase your risk of developing acne:
Hormones. An increase in androgens, which are male sex hormones, may lead to acne. These increase in both boys and girls normally during puberty and cause the sebaceous glands to enlarge and make more sebum. Hormonal changes related to pregnancy can also cause acne.
Family history. Researchers believe that you may be more likely to get acne if your parents had acne.
Medications. Certain medications, such as medications that contain hormones, corticosteroids, and lithium, can cause acne.
Age. People of all ages can get acne, but it is more common in teens.
The following do not cause acne but may make it worse.
