What causes Acne?

Why people in puberty get acne?

Most people going through puberty get acne because the puberty hormones can make the glands inside their pores (those tiny holes in skin) start making too much oil. Hair follicles (where a hair grows out of your skin) get blocked by dead skin cells, and bacteria grows. The bacteria makes your skin erupt into pimples. These are usually on the face, shoulders, arms, back, and chest. They can look red, white, or black.
Guys tend to have more acne than girls do, because their skin makes more oil.
