Why are teenagers more likely to get acne than older adults and young children?

well the reason is in teen years both in girls and boys there are lots of changes in endocrine system and hormone activities of the body.in boys testis is begining to produce testostrone that is a very potent androgen.in females androgen is produced by 2 sources adrenal gland and ovaries,the androgen in females is less potent and mainly is androstondion..androgen production although will continue for rest of everybodies life after teen years in teenagers just started and it is very irregular as a result teens not also have a very huge changes because of the sex hormones they are also affected by the irrigulairity of regulating systems. one of the changes is acne(technical word for it is acne vulgaris,vulgaris means regular-sometimes we have other forms aswell!! i dont wana make it compilicated!!).after the tenn years because of regulating adjustment and also because of established skin changes everything is resolved.in females androgen level also goes down because the cycles become more regular and main sex hormone wil switch to estrogen although androstondion still is produced from adrenal in very low levelWhy are teenagers more likely to get acne than older adults and young children?

Why are teenagers more likely to get acne than older adults and young children?
Because teenagers are going thru puberty when all their hormones are out of balance and raging.
Extreme hormonal changes.





And people in puberty get extreme hormonal changes.
Raging hormones
it's because of hormones, during your teenage years you have a lot of surges, and ups and down, all the things that cause your face to break out...but there are millions of adults with acne also. it varys from person to person, i didn't get my first pimple till i was 22 and pregnant.
Because of harmones.
