Acne is generally the result of a number of factors. It is predominantly genetic and hormonal, but may also be the result of:
Risk factors for the development of acne include menstrual cycle, anxiety and stress, hot and humid climates, and some forms of oil-based make up and skin care.
Acne can be a disabling and often times disfiguring skin condition, with a number of associated potential physical and mental side effects. Acne may have wider-ranging effects than some skin cancers. A recent study published in the British Journal of Dermatology examined a group of participants both with and without acne found that the probability of developing major depression was 18.5% amongst patients with acne and 12% amongst those without. Similarly, research suggests that following a diagnosis of acne the risk of diagnosis of major depressive disorder can spike by up to 60% in comparison to the general population.
