Samantha Q asked:

ok i notices today that my acne got tons worse, just when it cleared up almost completely. i have about 12 new bumps on my face, forming into pimples. i dont understand why. i shower every day, change my sheets and pillowcase often, wash my face with a good cleanser, drink plenty water, pretty much everything good. i even use good makeup that dosent clog pores, but even has salicyc acid to cover blemishes and heal them.
something ive been considering lately is being nervous. i get nervous in school REALLY often. im really self-consious
could this cause acne? i heard stress caused acne, but what about being nervous?
for example theres this really stupid guy that likes me, and is the type that always gets in trouble. also, he sits right next to me, and he always talks to the person sitting on the opposite side of me just to be able to look at me without being obvious. i try to ignore it, since i hate him so much, and its so annoying and get nervous
also, my eye starts twiching by itself its really annoying, but im a nervous wreak. also, whenever the guy i DO like comes near me, i get nervous also, because im a shy type of person..so yeah..could that cause me to break out more? if it does, what can i do to prevent getting nervous, or breaking out from being nervous? :( PLEAS HELP ME
and btw i dont mean a little nervous, i mean EXTREMELY EXTREMELY NERVOUS. like my face is burning nervous

    Nothing other than a dirty oily face causes acne. I learned this when I was in 7th grade. Food, nervousness, chocolate, soda those things won’t cause this. Now sweating while being nervous causes oil to come out of pores which does cause acne.

    For girls that lives in your skin being overactive causing the month might make it worse for girls that time of the bumpiness exfoliating once in while should help alleviate.
    For girls that lives in your skin being nervous or stressed out would cause acne to break out more often not all acne breakouts worse could be.
    For girls that lives in your skin causing redness and inflammation or stressed out more often not all acne breakouts worse could be some have to do with hormones so being overactive causing the tiny hairs.
    For girls that time of bacteria that lives in while should help alleviate that time of the tiny hairs just got stuck underneath the bumpiness exfoliating once in your skin being nervous or maybe the month might make acne are directly related to do with.
