A member asked:
Why is it that some adolescents develop acne and others do not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minor mystery: All we know is that it is not related to lifestyle or hygiene, and that diet's role is at best minor. I suspect individual susceptibility has to do with the fact that no two people's immune system (even identical twins) is alike -- it's a natural variability that's characteristic of humankind.
