Acne is a type of skin rash common in teenagers. Acne is partly hereditary, and if either parent suffered from acne as teenager, their child is more likely to suffer from it.  As a person grows older, acne reduces and usually disappears by the time the person is thirty years old.

Home remedies to remove scars

In teenagers, the oil production from sebaceous glands increases, but the pores are blocked by dead skin cells. As the oil accumulates, bacteria and fungus multiply under the skin, inflaming the skin. Though acne may cause scarring, the main damage is psychological, and teenagers with acne often suffer from low self esteem.

Some of  the factors that cause acne are:

1. Hormonal changes like the onset of puberty

2. Poor diet , rich in oily food

3. Stress, which can cause hormonal changes

4. Exposure to high levels of chlorine compounds

5. Touching your face with your hand may transmit the bacteria to your face 

 Zits are formed when the oil glands in the skin are clogged. They can occur at any age.  Though many medicines are available, acne and zits can be cured by simple home remedies.
