Acne Myths (from http://www.skincarephysicians.com/acnenet/myths.html )
Myth #1: Acne is caused by poor hygiene. If you believe this myth, and wash your skin hard and frequently, you can actually make your acne worse. Acne is not caused by dirt or surface skin oils. Although excess oils, dead skin and a day's accumulation of dust on the skin looks unsightly, they should not be removed by hand scrubbing. Vigorous washing and scrubbing will actually irritate the skin and make acne worse. The best approach to hygiene and acne: Gently wash your face twice a day with a mild soap, pat dry--and use an appropriate acne treatment for the acne.
Myth #2: Acne is caused by diet. Extensive scientific studies have not found a connection between diet and acne. In other words, food does not cause acne. Not chocolate. Not french fries. Not pizza. Nonetheless, some people insist that certain foods affect their acne. In that case, avoid those foods. Besides, eating a balanced diet always makes sense. However, according to the scientific evidence, if acne is being treated properly, there's no need to worry about food affecting the acne.
Myth #3: Acne is caused by stress. The ordinary stress of day-to-day living is not an important factor in acne. Severe stress that needs medical attention is sometimes treated with drugs that can cause acne as a side effect. If you think you may have acne related to a drug prescribed for stress or depression, you should consult your physician.
Myth #4: Acne is just a cosmetic disease. Yes, acne does affect the way people look and is not otherwise a serious threat to a person’s physical health. However, acne can result in permanent physical scars--plus, acne itself as well as its scars can affect the way people feel about themselves to the point of affecting their lives.
Myth #5: You just have to let acne run its course. The truth is, acne can be cleared up. If the acne products you have tried haven’t worked, consider seeing a dermatologist. With the products available today, there is no reason why someone has to endure acne or get acne scars.

The main causes of acne is hormones and cleanliness of your skin.
Women notice they get more acne around ovulation and the few days before a period starts. Not being a man, I don't know about their hormones ;) Women on the Pill don't have a lot of hormone-related acne because the Pill prevents ovulation and periods.
Keep your skin clean. Dirt and oil can and will clog up the pores in the skin and these cause pimples. Use a medicated product like Clearasil (the expensive ones aren't necessarily better than the cheaper ones, by the way) and you should notice a difference.
Diet is not a cause, nor is sleeping habits.

All types of oily junk foods can cause pimples. Acne or pimples r due 2 overproduction of sex hormones in males n females, androgens n oestrogen respectively especially during puberty.
These hormones cause excessive release of oil from sebaceous glands of our body. This blocks certain enzymes, bacterias in d glands which breakdown d oil n cause infection. Due to bacterial infection it causes production of abcess (pus) normally white or yellow coloured which comes out of d pimple heads.
