I've been getting a lot of acne lately, what is causing this and how can I treat it?

Acne is caused by bacteria that grow in the hair follicles. The most common types are Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus. These bacteria produce toxins that irritate the skin and cause inflammation. To reduce acne, wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser, use an over-the-counter topical acne treatment, and avoid touching or scratching your face.
