Acne is more than just a few spots of pimples. It can affect the back, neck and centre of chest upper back and shoulders.
Acne is caused by an increased level of hormones (androgen) in puberty, because of the high hormone levels the sebaceous (oil) glands in the hair follicles produce excessive sebum (oil). The sebum oil which helps to remove dead skin cells from the hair follicles and also spread over the skin to lubricate it. When too much sebum is produced it blocks the opening of the hair follicles which leads to form of acne. Although there are fallacies that certain food such as groundnuts and chocolate there is no evidence that foods cause acne.
