Acne is the result of excessive oil secretion during or shortly after puberty, which primarily involves the face, chest, and back. The oil glands essentially become blocked by this excessive oil and then they become infected. This problem can be very mild or may become quite severe, resulting in significant and permanent scarring. Almost everyone experiences an occasional flare-up of acne, but it is most prevalent during adolescence, afflicting 85 percent of teenagers to some degree. Hormones are responsible for most cases of acne. Diet and lifestyle factors, such as hygiene and sexual activity do not cause acne. Various chemical and environmental agents can also aggravate the problem and disrupt proper healing.
Heredity is suspected in some cases of severe acne. Numerous medications can also cause acne; steroids, hormonal agents, iodine preparations, lithium and anticonvulsants. Stress often triggers a flare-up of acne, most likely by altering hormone levels which in turn stimulate food cravings thereby causing erroneous attribution of the acne to food rather than stress.
