Acnes, why they happen?

Acnes are tiny, hard reddish inflammations which popup from beneath the skin showing up mainly as facial acnes and body acnes and occurring mainly among teens.

Stress and hormonal changes related to menstrual periods, pregnancy, birth control pills are the major reasons for acnes. Other factors responsible for the formation of acnes are tight fitting clothes, heavy perspiration, regular use of greasy & oily cosmetic and hair products, usage of astringent products or steroid drugs and hereditary causes i.e. acne running in families.
