A member asked:
Why do i have acne if parents did not have acne?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
That's nature : Many factors, age, diet, stress, environment, etc. In addition, genetically speaking, although similar, you are not identical to your parents dna. In addition your age by itself, and higher levels of hormones may also have an effect on acne.

Nobody knows: Acne is not related to hygiene or lifestyle. However, if you are not treating your acne, it will be a grave professional liability. If topical benzoyl peroxide hasn't cleared you in two weeks, get with your physician.
