What Is Causing Your Acne And Acne Scars
Most people in their teenage years have pimples and other skin conditions which are caused by heredity, the increased production of hormones at this time of life and bacterial activity. The combination of these factors often leads to increased sebum oil production by sebaceous glands at the base of hair follicles under the skin. The surplus oil plus dead skin cells can obstruct pores in the skin and bring about the condition known as acne. Acne may be disfiguring and is known to cause self-image problems. Most medical doctors do not think that a person’s diet is a contributing factor in acne.
