Acne can indeed worsen during puberty due to hormonal changes that increase sebum production, leading to clogged pores and acne breakouts. The surge in androgen hormones during puberty stimulates the oil glands, making the skin oilier and prone to acne. It is a common experience for many adolescents.
If you are looking for more information or treatment options for acne during puberty, it is recommended to consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment.
