Acne

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It primarily affects the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. While acne is most prevalent during adolescence due to hormonal changes, it can affect people of all ages.
There are several things may worsen acne:
Hormonal changes: Hormones that increase in boys and girls during puberty and cause the sebaceous glands to enlarge and make more sebum.
Medications: Drugs that containing testosterone or lithium can worsen or trigger the condition.
Diet: Some foods such as including carbohydrate rich foods, bread, bagels fry foods may worsen acne.
Depending on its severity acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin. The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of such problems.
