Why do I have acne and my brother doesnt?

I mean I am 19, I have always had moderately unattractive acne and he is 22 and has NEVER had acne, like he has probably had a total of 3 zits in his entire life (I am not exaggerating). Same is with my oldest sister, she had acne, than the sister born after her DIDNT whatsoever and than my brother born just after her didnt have acne either and now I do and so does my 2 brothers just below me. It seems to have skipped the second and third child and than came to haunt the rest of us. To make it worse I have it on my shoulders as well, my older brother NEVER had it anywhere on his body, he has crystal clear skin. Its really upsetting. Why is this?

try washing your sheets every week, then go get some Clinique at your local department store example Nordstroms, Blomingdales or buy it online...this stuff works wonders it helped me and my young cousin had it the worst, but is all clear now thanks to Clinique...





don't worry it's all in the genes, some people get it and some people don't...





ps clinique has free shipping going on right now...

Reply:Maybe you don't take care of your skin as well as he does. Or maybe your brother simply hit the genetic jackpot.

sisters had acne, but my brother and I didn't!
Reply:Exactly why some people get acne and some do not is not fully known. It is known to be partly hereditary (if your parents had it you'll be more likely to have it). Some factors are known to be linked to acne, such as hormonal activity, stress, and hyperactive sebaceous glands.


For most people acne goes away by their 20s. I recommend you use Proactiv, as it has worked for many people I know. As for you brother, be happy that he doesn't have acne, you wouldn't want him to go through it. Here are some tips you could try to keep your skin healthier and thus prevent acne:





*Avoid excessive sun exposure (although it will initially improve acne, consistent sun exposure will increase pluggin of your pores and make acne worse)


*Avoid over-washing your face (limit washing to 2/3 times per day). More than that aggravates your skin and leads to increased oil production. Also avoid products with alcohol, they overstrip your skin of natural oils and make acne worse.


*Don't pick you skin...EVER. Picking your skin forces bacteria deeper into the pores and makes acne worse. It also leads to scarring.


* Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face.


* Eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water and get adequate sleep to make your skin took its best.





Good luck!
Reply:Have you ever try consulting a dermatologist regarding with your acne? on cause is that it is genetically present in your family it may not be directly your mom or dad having it. it can be you uncle or anywhere in your family tree. 2nd, yes you do wash your face,but be careful with facial wash it maybe not fit for you that is what causing you acne. 3, the food you eat may contribute to acne too. it may just be hormonal imbalance that's making you having it....
Reply:if you have had acne for a while you should see a dermotologist..


do not pop any ..all you do is spread it and make ugly scars....wash or change your sheets every few of days(3) cause they hold alot of bacteria. keep as clean as possible, even if it means you shower several times a day...esp after sweating alot ..using a mild soap
