The exact cause of acne is not known, but androgens, oily skin, and heredity do play a big role in the development of acne. Here are a few common culprits that can cause acne:

Heredity

If both parents have a history of acne, their offspring might develop a tendency as well.

Menstrual cycles

Women experience pimples before their menstrual cycles because of the increased progesterone levels.

Wrong eating pattern

A faulty eating pattern builds up a lot of toxins in the body, which cause unwanted eruptions.

Psychological stress

Mental stress may influence hormones, which could result in the secretion of oil giving rise to acne.

Certain Medications

Certain medicines such as steroids, anti-epileptic and TB drugs, pollutants, and cheap cosmetics give rise to the accursed acne.

Oral contraceptives

Use of oral contraceptives that are high in progesterone can also cause a breakout of acne.

Other common factors

Constipation, insufficient intake of water, consumption of excess heaty foods such as walnuts, soybeans, and almonds also precipitate acne.
