Acne is caused by the staph bacteria. Dirt, oil and grime clog your pores and the staph bacteria comes to help fight it causing acne.

Most cases of acne can be hormone related. This maybe the reason why women get it worse than men. Also teenagers are the majority of people with acne for the same reason of surging hormones. The type of skin that you have is also a factor. Most oily skinned people are prone to acne.
Lifestyle also is a factor. Long nights, lost sleeps, stress, cigarette smoking and hygiene may cause acne. Not sure if coffee can make it worse, but it can keep you awake hence the stress...

Answer 4

oily skin. And you pores get clogged. Eating spicy or oily food makes it worse, i think. Vegies and stuff are better. It may be genetic, but not really sure. Many teens have acne.

"The hair follicles, or pores, in your skin contain sebaceous glands (also called oil glands). These glands make sebum, which is an oil that lubricates your hair and skin. Most of the time, the sebaceous glands make the right amount of sebum. As a teen's body begins to mature and develop, though, hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to make more sebum, and the glands may become overactive. Pores become clogged if there is too much sebum and too many dead skin cells. Bacteria (especially one called Propionibacterium acnes) can then get trapped inside the pores and multiply, causing swelling and redness — the start of acne."

Answer 5

Most products that you will take will help for a quick fix, but they are not dealing with the real problem. most people have no idea why they break out, well here is the reason!
Skin eruptions or blemishes can also be constipation symptoms. Constipation can cause acne and it can worsen existing acne conditions. Many people fail to understand the skin is a major organ responsible for eliminating waste. When the liver and kidneys become overwhelmed by substances that need to be evacuated from the body—the skin will try to come to their aid. Individuals who are constipated are backed up with fecal matter and it’s impossible for the skin to remove fecal matter. However, the epidermis can show signs of its attempting to rid the body of toxins by becoming inflamed or breaking out.

Answer 6

Well, most people would say dirt, caffeine, oil, greasy foods, etc. but that's actually false.

*Hormones* are what cause acne. The dirt, caffeine, oil, greasy foods, etc. only "set off" the hormones which is why breakouts occur.

Back acne is caused by hormones as well, but since your back doesn't get as oily or dirty as your face it's less likely have acne. Main causes for back acne are not showering after working out or just plain lack of hygiene.
