Complications of acne
There are a number of things that can make your acne worse. These include the following.
- If you pick and squeeze the spots, it may cause further inflammation and scarring.
- Excessive production of male hormones may cause acne. For example, testosterone from conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome.
- Some contraceptive pills may make acne worse. This is due to the type of progestogen hormone in some pills. However, some other types of contraceptive pills can improve acne (see Treatments). Ask your GP for advice about which contraceptive pill to take.
- Some cosmetic products such as moisturisers can make acne worse if they are greasy.
