A member asked:

Is there a cause for acne? if so what tests can i run to find out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: I see you are a 30 year old female. If your monthly cycle is basically normal, you're not going to find a hormonal disturbance causing your acne. Beyond this, the quest to find a food, habit, exposure or anything else to explain why one person gets acne and the other person doesn't is almost always futile. Mine remitted when I was 50. Until then, do as I did and comply with Rx. Best wishes.
