Where and when does acne occur?

Acne generally appears on the face, back and chest. In teenagers it appears just as the teenager has become conscious of looks and appearance and is therefore likely to lead to extreme emotional disturbances. Most acne clears up once the person has crossed a certain age and the hormones are in balance. Acne fluctuates with changes in the person’s diet and stress levels. Many doctors recommend that you keep a diary of the acne appearance along with events in your life, so that any pattern can be established.
