Teen Acne
When a teenager hits puberty, there is an increase in androgens (sex hormones). These excess hormones cause a body’s oil glands to produce extra oil (sebum) which then clogs the hair follicles and can lead to infection, causing pimples. Teen acne is incredibly common and is nothing to be ashamed of. There are many ways to help ease the symptoms and appearance of teen acne.
