Everyone will experience acne. Here is an example of acne on the forehead.Acne is very common disorder that most young people get in early pubescence. It is caused by inflammation of the small oil glands that surround the fine hairs on the face and chest. The severity of acne increases and, typically, reaches its peak around the ages of 17 to 19. For most people, acne tends to go away by the time they reach their mid-20s; however, very sensitive people may continue to have the disorder until they reach their 43s.

Acne and Stress
When your body is under stress, it naturally produces a substance called "corticotropin-releasing hormone", or CRH. This hormone does a number of things to get your body ready to "face the stress". It’s released from your skin glands, and as one of its tasks it causes oils there to also be released. This could be because human bodies evolved to need that oil to protect the skin in times of stress, or to help cool it.
That oil tries to leave the glands, and on a face not prone to acne it would just flow across the skin and evaporate or be washed away. However, if the face is dirty and has dirt trapped at the top of the pores, or if the oil tends to coagulate and block the pores, the result is that the oil being produced has nowhere to go and formes the acne.
