Common Causes of Acne FAQs

I get spots behind my ears. Is this still acne? They really hurt and they burst - disgusting.
It sounds as though you have had acne on the rest of your face from the way you ask if these spots are ’still acne’. They could be if you still have active acne elsewhere. There are also a number of other possibilities such as skin cysts or wens (sebaceous cysts - cysts filled with sebum) that are not connected with acne. You should see you doctor to let her or him have a look at them and determine which are the best acne products for your condition.
We’ve just discovered that my daughter is allergic to milk and cheese. Could this be the cause of her acne?
Unfortunately not. It would be good if things were that simple but studies have shown no link between diet and acne. As skin greasiness is increased in acne, it is very logical to think that cutting down on fats and oils in food would help - but it doesn’t. Even if you are never be able to pinpoint the cause of her acne, it is sensible to get her started on a course of the best acne treatments
