Acne is one of life's little irritants and a major cause for the loss of self-esteem and self-worth for our youth. Occurring at any age, but commonly in your teenage year's acne is one of the most frustrating skin conditions you can have.
As a teenager, I personally battled acne and lost. I didn't know what caused it and there were myths all over about too much candy and chocolate, too much stress, preservatives in foods, sweating from exercise, etc. There are probably hundreds of wrong statements about what causes acne and just as many home remedies that don't help to cure acne.

Skin inflammation is brought about by unreasonable oils on your skin that stops up to your pores and in the long run, results in infections. which produces the pimple with its redness and enlarging. A blackhead is simply a pore that has been partially plugging by oils or dead skin but still remains open and doesn't have an infection.
The key to controlling your acne is your ability to control the body oils that you have on your face, neck, and shoulders. As a teenager, your hormones are the cause of some of this excessive oil in your hair. So it is important to keep your hair clean to help reduce the amount of oil you have around your face and shoulders.
As a teenager, I had very oily hair and had acne on my shoulders, I had sought doctors help and tried many things but what finally got it under control was a shorter haircut and washing my hair at least once a day, in addition to keeping my face clean by washing with mild soap and water.

If you have acne you should try not to pick at and pop your pimples. It can be very difficult not to pick at your acne, but what you are actually doing when you pop a pimple is spreading the infection to other pores in your skin. You may have noticed that if you do pick at your acne it tends to spread, this is caused by spreading the infection (the white puss-like substance) to other pores that may only be partially clogged but now have additional infectious material to completely clog the pore.
