Causes of Acne:
- Sinusitis- It is a disease associated with sinuses. When the tissues surrounding the sinuses( hollow cavities in the face) become inflamed and are filled with mucus, this affects our breathing. Our nose is not able to kill the bacteria inside resulting in the development of acne in our body.
- Hormonal changes- Most individuals face acne when they hit puberty. Due to the secretion of Androgens, the sebaceous glands tend to enlarge resulting in excess secretion of oil which doesn’t find any route to move deposits on the skin. Most girls experience acne during their menstrual cycles because of a lack of sleep and relaxation.
- Poor nutrition- Intake of excess amounts of junk food also affects the body cycle.
- Hygiene of elementary canal- If an individual faces a problem of irregular cleaning of bowels that is constipation, there are more chances of its effects being shown externally on our skin.
