Reply to comment by chino17 in Has teen acne been around since prehistoric times? Did cave-dwellers have zits? Or is it related to modern eating, exercise, pollution, etc.? by Snoo-35252

>There's have been studies showing certain ethnicities/races seem to be more acne prone due to their physiology causing some to produce more sebum than others.

I tried to look up what you're referring to, and this study says:

>Acne is the most common dermatological diagnosis in non-Caucasian patients. In a community-based photographic study, clinical acne was found to be highly revalent in Black/African American (37%), Hispanic/Latina (32%), and Asian (30%) women, more so than in Continental Indian (23%) and White/Caucasian (24%) women.

"Continental Indian" refers to the Indian subcontinent, and Arab/Middle Eastern was included as part of the White/Caucasian category.
