A member asked:
Please explain why is it that acne only occurs on certain areas of the face and not others?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncertain: No one really knows there are areas with greater sebaceous gland population and maybe the sebum starts the process, more oil etc. There are areas of thicker tissue and possible exfoliation issues are part of the problem with clogging the pores
