In the most general form of response can be formulated as follows: a hormonally dependent process, and if there were eels – then began a transition age, that is puberty. Hormones maturing Chad begins to radically change, while significantly increasing function of the sebaceous glands. For example, in boys from 12 to 21 years production of sebum within three hours is the norm 1,69 mg per 10 square. see a case of mild acne, it increases to 1.3 times, with the average – in 1,7 times, with a heavy – almost double.
