Both boys and girls get acne. But it may be worse in boys because they have more skin oils. Heredity plays a role in who gets acne. If your mother or father had bad acne, you may too. Your immune system also plays a role.
Some people are extra sensitive to the bacteria that get trapped in the hair follicles.
This can cause very bad acne. Foods don't seem to be related to acne. But if you feel that some foods make your acne worse, you may want to avoid these foods. Acne can be treated in different ways. The main thing to remember is that it will take about two months of treatment before your skin starts to look better.
