Causes of acne
Hormones
Common acne among teens begins with increased hormone production during puberty. Both young men and women produce high levels of androgens.
Bacterial growth on the skin
The fat accumulated on the skin causes the hair follicles to be blocked, especially in the face area, which creates the appropriate environment for the growth of bacteria on it, and this causes the appearance of white or blackheads on the surface of the skin
