What is the cause of Acne?

Facebook Twitter

Acne is primarily a hormonal disorder caused by androgen hormones, which become active during the adolescent and young adult years. Acne can be caused by sensitivity to these hormones, in combination with surface microorganisms on the skin and fatty acids within oil glands.



Certain factors, such as fluctuating hormone levels around the time of a menstrual period, might cause or worsen acne.

- Air pollution, as well as certain weather conditions, particularly excessive humidity.

- Using oily or greasy personal care items (such as heavy lotions, creams, or hair pomades and waxes) or working in an environment where you are frequently exposed to grease (such as working at a restaurant where there are greasy food surfaces and frying oil).

- Acne flare-ups can be exacerbated by stress, which raises the hormone cortisol.

- Some medicines.

- Genetics.
