Understanding the Causes of Acne
Although the exact cause of acne remains unclear, experts believe it results from several factors. A significant factor is the increase in androgens during puberty. These hormones can enlarge and overstimulate the sebaceous glands, leading to acne.
For both males and females, higher androgen levels during puberty trigger these glands to produce more sebum, or oil. This excess oil combines with dead skin cells and bacteria, blocking pores. Within these blocked pores, bacteria multiply, causing swelling that leads to spots and pimples.
Some studies suggest that acne may be hereditary. If your parents had acne, you might be more prone to experiencing it as well.
While stress doesn't directly cause acne, it can worsen the condition. Stress prompts the body to produce hormones like cortisol, which can exacerbate acne symptoms.
Other potential causes include certain medications, drugs, steroids, oily makeup, and harsh skin cleansing routines. Contrary to popular belief, greasy foods and poor hygiene are not proven direct causes of acne. Additionally, acne is not contagious.
By understanding these factors, individuals may better manage and treat acne, focusing on effective prevention and care strategies.
