Adult Acne
Adult Acne
Acne is bad enough when it strikes with puberty. But when it
continues or strikes again in adulthood, it can be a real
nuisance. Acne is a skin condition that usually begins around
the time of puberty. More than eighty percent of teenagers and
preteens will develop acne to some extent. But it can affect
people of every age, gender, and race. It affects both males and
females, but boys are more likely to have severe acne and to
have acne that continues into adult acne.
The scientific name for the condition is acne vulgaris because
acne usually strikes in plainly visible locations such as the
face, neck, chest and back. Acne is an age old problem that has
likely been plaguing people of all ages for centuries.
What Causes Adult Acne?
Visit http://acne-solution-treatments.info/ for more
information. Acne is an inflammation of the skin that can form
in adulthood just as easily as it forms in pubescence. Acne is
caused by a number of factors. Contact with an oily substance
such as mineral oil, vegetable oil, or petroleum is a common
cause of acne, as is the use of certain medications and
steroids. However, acne is most often cause by the secretion of
androgens. Acne occurs most often to teens and preteens because
these androgens are initially secreted at the onset of puberty.
But these sex hormones are secreted into adulthood as well and
can continue to cause problems with acne. Poor dietary habits
and lack of exercise also contribute to adult acne.
Androgens are male sex hormones but they are
secreted by females
as well. Androgens stimulate the production of oil from the
skin's oil glands. Acne occurs when these oil glands become
overactive and the exit from the gland is blocked, causing the
oil to build up in the gland and swell. A bacteria called
Propionibacterium acnes normally colonizes this swollen gland
causing the development of inflammation and pus. In particularly
severe cases, the glands may burst into the skin and produce
cysts.
How Do I Treat Adult Acne?
Over ninety percent of acne patients, both teens and adults,
respond to treatment, although the treatment may need to be
continued for months or even years. Here are a few of the most
common herbal, homeopathic, and traditional methods that can be
used to treat adult acne.
