Does Using Computers For Long Hours Cause Acne?

I got a computer during Christmas in 2008 and since then i ve been getting acne. Its getting worse and worse. So, during the summer i went on vacation for 2 month where i almost did not use computers and my skin was clear. I came back with my same habit of using computers for 6-7 hours and got acne again. Thank you

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Acne occurs due to hormonal changes in the body. Use of computer does not cause acne, but mental stress can aggravate acne.
Advice
1.     Apply locally in face clindamycin 1% solution/gel (Clindac A gel) at bed time for a month
2.     Doxycycline 50 mg daily per oral for 30 days. You have not mentioned your gender. If you are a female & pregnant then do not use doxycycline. Male gender people can use it
3.     Use Acne aid soap three time daily for cleaning your face
4.     Do not squeeze pimples as it will cause scarring
5.     Keep pimples untouched
6.     Try to avoid use of unbranded cosmetics unnecessarily
7.     Avoid mental stress as it aggravates acne
