Brief Answer:
It is due to the increased function of sebaceous glands.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Such acne eruptions are due to over action of sebaceous glands. This is due to hormonal factors related to your age. For some youngsters it will be more.
The precautions you can take for this is.
1. Avoid stress as this can increase its occurrence.
2. Avoid excessive fried ,greasy and fatty foods. Excessive sweets and junks also can cause increase in acne.
3. Include fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. Taking anti oxidants is helpful also.
4. You can use acne soap twice daily for gentle wash for your face.
5. Getting some steam on face or washing face with warm water is good also.
6. If these measures not helping then you can go for pulse therapy with antibiotics like doxycycline or azithromycin monthly.
7. Using aloe vera gel locally and taking vitamin C orally is helpful also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.

Doctor, I've already been following the instructions you've mentioned. Still i am prone to this problem. I would also request you to suggest remedy for existing scars as well.
And about the food habits, can i take non-vegetarian? Even though i have only healthy vegan food with less oil and sugar, my face tends to become oily.It makes my face black and dull, and pores on my face visible. This really affects my confidence. I hope i get a solution to control the oil secretion on my face. Also the scars, apart from preventing the new ones from popping. Thanks you

Can take non vegetarian.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and Welcome.
Thank you for your follow up query.
You can take non vegetarian. But take lean meat. Avoid fats. Also better to avoid fried ones.
For the scars you can use kojic acid based creams or vitamin c based creams.
Using an acne soap daily will reduce the oily skin. As it is hormonal it will decrease as you age. This excess activity mostly last till 25 years old. It is not good to take any medicines against hormones.
You can also use natural face masks like one containing lemon, orange peels and honey also.

Thank you doctor,
I'll try the above suggestions.And one more personal question which i got, which i certainly feel shy to ask on a face to face communication with a doctor.So i am asking you, I always felt masturbation is the reason for all the problems on my face,because both started since teenage.I want you to confirm the same, as the tons of articles on the internet doesn't give me the correct answer.
And another last question is that i want to restore my fairness. Because oil secretion makes my face real dark,in addition to that sun tanning and acne scars worsen it.So i'll be really glad if you suggest me effective remedies for it.
Thanks in advance
