Acne

The cause of acne is unknown.  Acne is most common in teenagers but it can happen at any age.  3 out 4 teenagers have acne to some extent, probably caused by hormonal changes that stimulate oil production.  However, people in their 30s and 40s may also have acne.

Acne is most likely caused by overactive glands.  The excess oil allows the bacteria to become trapped inside the pores.

Factors that contribute to the condition include heredity, oily skin and other factors such as allergies, diet and stress.  A healthy well balanced diet, skin cleanliness, plenty of filtered water, adequate rest, exercise and fresh air may be of benefit in the treatment of acne.
