• At first you may think Im MAD but Yes, the
  reason of getting acne is testosterone the
  hormone that stimulates the sebaceous gland
  (sebum producing gland) activity.
• Ok, let me tell you the connection between
  Testosterone and Acne
• Testosterone belongs to a class of male sex
  hormones called androgens, which can trigger
  acne by over- stimulating oil glands. They can
  also change the skin cells that line hair
  follicles, making them sticky and more likely to
  clog pores.
• Heres how it works Tiny glands are inside the
  pores of your skin, and they produce an oil
  called sebum. Sebum carries dead skin cells
  from follicles to your skins surface, but when
  there is too much of it, follicles become
  clogged and pimples can emerge.
• Testosterone increases the production of sebum,
  making it a prime acne culprit.
• Though testosterone is thought of as a male
  hormone, female ovaries produce it in small
  amounts. Women produce other androgens that can
  worsen acne as well. Most women with acne still
  have normal levels of testosterone. However, if
  you have other signs of abnormally high
  testosterone, such as excess facial or body
  hair, deep voice, and irregular menstrual period,
