An epidemiologist.
In the most general terms, the study of causes would be called science. However, there are specialized forms of causation which have their own areas of study. Medicine studies the causes of disease. Criminology studies the causes of crime. Meteorology studies the causes of weather. Historians study the causes of WW II. And so forth.

An epidemic occurs when the rate of a disease (incidence) rises above the prevalence of a disease in a certain area. I.e. if you have 20 cases of TB reported every year for every 1000 people, it would be an epidemic if it raised to 30.
Ebola would be an epidemic. The difference between a pandemic and an epidemic is the population size and locality of infection. An epidemic is a greater than normal amount of infection in a particular area or when infection occurs in an area that isn't normally associated with a certain disease. A pandemic is when the epidemic reaches to world wide proportions.

Acne is not epidemic. That would mean it is being passed from person to person rapidly, cause an increase in the range and incidence of infections. Acne is endemic. That means that it is routinely found in the population.
