Question

What is the primary reason for increased sweat, oil production, and pimples during adolescence?

पर्याय

• Increased consumption of fatty foods during teenage years

• Environmental pollution and weather conditions

• Glands in the skin work more actively due to hormonal changes

• Lack of proper hygiene and bathing habits

Answer 1

During adolescence, hormonal changes cause glands in the skin to become more active. Sebaceous glands increase oil production, and sweat glands increase perspiration output. Additionally, the accumulation of oil and dead skin cells in hair follicles can lead to the formation of acne or pimples. These changes are a normal part of puberty and typically decrease as hormone levels stabilize in early adulthood.
