Rising hormone levels during puberty may cause acne. In addition, acne is often inherited.
Other causes of acne may include the following:
Hormone level changes during the menstrual cycle in women.
Certain drugs (such as corticosteroids, lithium, and barbiturates).
Oil and grease from the scalp, mineral or cooking oil, and certain cosmetics.
Bacteria growth inside pimples.
Acne can be aggravated by squeezing the pimples or by scrubbing the skin too hard. Some environmental conditions
such as pollution or humid conditions can also irritate the skin.

Acne can be aggravated by squeezing the pimples or by scrubbing the skin too hard. Some environmental conditions

These two effects combined cause a build-up of oil in the hair follicles. This causes blackheads and whiteheads to
form.
For some people, their acne does not progress beyond this stage.
However in other people, the build-up of oil in the hair follicles creates an ideal environment for a bacterium called
Propionibacterium acnes to grow.
These bacteria normally live harmlessly on your skin but when this ideal environment is created, they grow. They
feed off the serum and produce substances that cause a response from your body's immune system. This inflames
the skin and creates the redness associated with spots.
In more severe 'inflammatory acne', cysts develop beneath the skin's surface. These acne cysts can rupture,
spreading the infection into nearby skin tissue. This can result in scarring.

dirt - blackheads get their dark colour through excess skin pigment - not dirt so washing
more does not help, although if you do not wash your skin at all, bacteria will be able to
multiply
Acne is not contagious, so you cannot catch it.

Acne is caused a number of things, but dirt isn’t normally one of
them. Acne blemishes form when dead skin cells mix with your body’
s natural (serum) oil, forming a plug in the hair follicle.
Dirt may play a role in clogging the follicle but more often than not,
the culprit of the plugged pore is "scale" or dead skin cells that
slough off the inner lining of your hair follicle.
Because dirt is not causing your acne, over washing your face or
body (more than 2–3 times per day) will not make your it better. In
fact, too much washing or overuse of harsh scrubs and “pore strips”
can actually strip the skin of the oil it needs to stay soft and pliable.
Over washing may stimulate your skin to create more oil, thereby
worsening the problem.

Acne is caused also by the over activity of the sebaceous glands that secrete oily
substances onto the skin.
The sebaceous glands of people with acne are especially sensitive to normal blood levels
of a hormone called testosterone, found naturally in both men and women.
Testosterone in people prone to acne triggers the sebaceous glands to produce an
excess of serum. At the same time, the dead skin cells lining the openings of the hair
follicles (the tubes that hold the hair) are not shed properly and clog up the follicles.
