Acne Causes

The exact cause of acne is unknown but there are several factors that may contribute to this skin condition.

These factors include:

1. Genetics (will most likely affect you if other family members had acne)
2. Hormones (hormonal changes during puberty, or monthly periods)
3. Infections (germs such as bacteria may cause acne)
4. Certain medications (steroids, anticonvulsants, hormones or birth control pills may cause acne)
5. Skin cosmetics (moisturizers, makeup and cosmetics clog the pores of the skin and cause acne)
6. Environmental conditions (humidity can increase the outbreak of acne)
