Information for Teen Boys

Guys' teenage acne can sometimes be severe. One factor of acne is the hormones that make your body mature from childhood to adulthood. These hormones also cause the oil glands of your skin to produce more oil, called sebum.2

In most cases, acne in males can be treated. Sometimes over-the-counter medications will be enough. However, you may need to see a dermatologist. A dermatologist can help you fight acne in the early stages. And for men, it is important to pay attention to even routine things like shaving correctly, and to follow your dermatologist's instructions on everything related to your skin care.2

While you should maintain good skin hygiene and eat a balanced diet, neither dirt nor diet causes acne.2 There are many factors involved in the development of acne, and your dermatologist can help determine a teen acne treatment that may work for you. If you do not have a dermatologist, click here to find a doctor near you.
