During the teenage years, this is the most noticeable time for an individual to develop acne. Teenage Acne is prevalent because this is when people begin the onset of puberty. Eight out of every ten teenagers is expected to get a mild case of acne, with a few more severe.

Why the Teenage Years?

During puberty, the body produces hormones called androgens. These androgens stimulate the production of sebum, which in turn mixes with bacteria to produce acne. Boys produce more of this hormone which causes more severe outbreaks of acne in them.

One of the most common types of bacteria associated with acne is Proprionibacterium Acnes, or P. acnes. P. acnes absorbs the sebum that is leaked onto the skin, however, when the sebaceous glands are clogged up with sebum the P. acnes turn it into a fatty acid casuing inflammation, swelling, redness, and pain. This in the end leads to an acne outbreak.
