Dose men get pimples more than weman?!


Question:

Dose men get pimples more than weman?


Answers:

Male hormones (androgens) cause sebaceous glands in our skin to produce more natural oil (sebum) which can oxidise, block pores, trap bacteria and cause pimples. Both men and women produce androgens, although men obviously produce a lot more.

in practice, this means that men tend to get pimples more when they're teenagers, but as they grow older their skin gets thicker and more used to androgenous effects and they get fewer pimples. women tend to get more pimples as they approach their period: this is when hormone levels change and in particular androgen levels can increase.

i think on average men probably get more pimples than women, but there isn't that much difference really, particularly as people get older.
