C
Feedback:
Diet plays no significant role in the development or progression of acne; however, a well-balanced, nutritional diet is essential for the overall good health of the client. Acne vulgaris usually develops during puberty and is slightly more common in boys than in girls. Acne is usually caused by hormonal changes during puberty, along with oversecretions of sebum. Acne vulgaris is generally influenced by stress, because emotional stress seems to cause flare-ups of the condition.
