Furthermore, acne is not caused by failing to wash, poor hygiene or sweating because these factors are not responsible for clogged pores that cause the development of acne. Although medicated washes that contain salicylic acid, sulfur, resorcinol, and benzoyl are a form of acne treatment, water and simple soap do not treat the problem. In addition, acne formation is not caused by diet, such as chocolate, pizza, fries, or other foods. In fact, there is no scientific connection between acne and diet. Fortunately, acne can be treated. Causes of acne

  2. Common causes of acne are increased sex hormones, such as androgens occurring during puberty. Androgens end up causing sebaceous glands to enlarge, producing excess sebum within hair follicles. Genetics and hormonal changes like stopping the use of birth control medication or pregnancy can also cause acne. Mild cases of acne often produce white heads and blackheads, with the color being determined by whether plugged follicle remains closed or open (A closed follicles produce white heads). Marks produced by acne can form a lesion, with some of the most troublesome acne lesions being papules, nodules, pustules, and cyst. Acne treatments Different types of acne treatment are used depending on the severity of the condition. There are several over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription products available to treat mild cases. Topical OTC products are available in many forms, such as gels, creams, soaps, lotions and pads. Typical OTC treatments include resorcinol, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, and salicylic acid.
