Expert Dermatologists Explain the Real Cause of Acne

A common myth is that acne is caused by dirt or diet. Though our acne treatment Los Angeles dermatologists in Beverly Hills recommend practicing a proper skin care regimen, acne is not attributed to dirt or food alone. One of the most common reasons you struggle with breakouts is testosterone. Testosterone, a hormone that is present in both males and females, increases during puberty. It stimulates the oil glands of the skin to enlarge, produce oil, and plug the pores. When too much sebum (oil) is produced, they mix with dirt and debris to clog pores and form whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples.

In females, early acne occurs before the first menstrual period. When acne is severe and forms deep “pus-filled” lumps, it is called cystic acne. This may be more common in males. Adult acne develops later in life and may be related to hormones, childbirth, menopause, or stopping the pill.
