Adolescent acne can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'worrying' to 'very serious'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose adolescent acne, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Food Allergies | 90% | Confirm |
Adrenal Fatigue | 28% | Unlikely |
Zinc Need | 5% | Ruled out |
