This page answers pertinent questions about acne including what it is, what causes it and what can be done about it.
What is it? A common skin disorder, acne appears in the form of pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and occasionally nodules and cysts. Most commonly, acne breaks out on the face, but can occur on the neck, arms, chest, back and shoulders as well. It normally starts in the teen years and can persist into the 20's, or longer. For a small percentage of people, acne is a lifelong problem.
What is its cause? No one is certain but it appears that heredity, hormones and oil ducts are responsible in some way. You may have an inherited tendency towards acne if other members of your family have had it.
There are hormones called androgens (male sex hormones) that increase for boys and girls during puberty. They can cause the sebaceous (oil) glands on some parts of the body to produce more sebum. As the oil ducts produce more oil, it gets trapped below the skin surface, which can lead to pimples.
