Why do adolescents commonly suffer from body odour, pimples and acne?

Solution

In adolescents, at the onset of puberty there is an increase in the activity of sweat and sebaceous glands. This leads to increased sweating which results in body odour. The skin becomes oilier which often leads to the occurrence of acne and pimples on the face.
