      This is not my specialist area but when you are going through puberty then it is most likely due to your hormones. They can cause you to produce too much oil on your skin and this gets trapped causing spots. It is something most of us have gone through and as your hormones settle down the spots normally do too!

      Because you’re a human being – it happens to all of us 🙂

      I’m afraid dermatology is not my area at all so I can’t give you an in depth answer, but it is often linked to hormones and oil production in puberty. It is common in teenagers and adults too. Even newborn babies can get spots!
