A member asked:

Acne keeps coming and going and it's coming bad what causes it?, can stress cause it? or smoking cigarettes? does the sun help get rid of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Acne: Not taking care of your self is never healthy but acne is from hormones, bacteria and an impaired ability to exfoliate. Sun won't help you need to see your doctor for this or start with over the counter acne treatment
