While acne during puberty is a natural skin change that most teenagers experience, it requires careful attention as severe cases can lead to scarring. Beyond simple skin problems, it can be a sensitive issue that can lead to low self-esteem and stress. Therefore, it's crucial to address pubertal acne through proper management and lifestyle changes.

Today, we'll cover everything from the causes of teenage acne to home care and prevention methods, as well as helpful dermatological treatments!

1. Causes of teenage acne

1) Hormonal changes

Hormonal changes are a factor in the development of acne during puberty. Increased levels of male hormones can lead to overactive sebaceous glands, which can trigger acne.

 

2) Genetic factors

If you have a family history of acne, you are more likely to develop it.

 

3) Stress

Stress can also cause acne during puberty. Stress increases testosterone levels, which increases sebum production and can lead to acne.

 

4) Bad eating habits

It is also said that frequent consumption of high-sugar or fatty foods can also cause teenage acne.
