Acne is caused by several things, such as clogged pores (small openings in the skin). When children’s bodies start changing, or go through puberty, they may have pimples and blackheads.

Asthma is a long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe. Allergies are the most common cause of asthma attacks.
