Lots: Acne is caused by a confluence of hormonal activity (increasing oil production) & skin bacteria infecting oil glands. Try not to cover the oily areas - with hair, chin straps, hands. Keep face clean but don't scrub it as that causes more to be secreted. Try benzyl peroxide lotions. If its distressing you, see your doctor or a dermatologist for more aggressive treatment. Oh, try not to pop them.
