Acne-Risk factors

Hormonal changes in your body can provoke or aggravate acne. Such changes are common in:

• Teenagers, both boys and girls
• 
  
• Women and girls, two to seven days before their periods
• 
  
• Pregnant women
• 
  
• People using certain medications, including cortisone

Other risk factors include:

• Exposing your skin directly to greasy or oily substances, or to certain cosmetics.
• 
  
• Having a family history of acne. If your parents had acne, you may be likely to develop it too.
• 
  
• Friction or pressure on your skin caused by items such as telephones or cell phones, helmets, tight collars and backpacks.
