Many causes!: Excessively oily skin at any age is a factor. Some is heriditary, but others may be hormonally related. Women with excess androgens (testosterone) will be prone to pimples, which includes women with metabolic syndrome. Hypothyoidism also promotes pimples and acne. Certain foods promote acne. So it could be diet! see your pcp and./or a dermatologist!
