• Answer:

  Yes. Hormones do cause acne.The major hormone that causes teenage acne is androgen. Boy produce more androgen than in the preeteen and teenage years and therefore, usually have worse acne than girls. Though this is not always true. No one gets off the hook-- boys and girls both suffer. For girls, acne worsens during their menstual cycle because the hormonal levels rise. Stress, heredity,diet, and weather often cause people to break out. Taking care of your skin will help you with your acne. Be sure to wash your face every night and morning so that sweat, dirt, or any other bacteria do not clog your pores. also, if you have acne, apply a product containing benzoyl peroxide.
