Acne is a
skin condition that effects almost
every teenager and even some adults.
Adolescent acne tends to start at the onset of
puberty and can last until the early twenties.
As boys produce more testosterone than girls this
probably accounts for boys being most likely to
suffer acne than girls.
Other factors which contribute to acne
include
oily skin, heredity, stress, oral contraceptives,
and a 'junk food' diet. Some women develop acne
before the start of the menstrual period, often
referred to as 'premenstrual acne.'
