What
Causes Acne
There
are many myths about what causes Acne flare ups, but no one
single cause is to blame. Acne is influenced by several factors,
many of which are out of your control. Stress, bad cosmetics,
hormones and birth control pills are common contributors to
acne breakouts. Many individuals are under the misconception
that eating certain foods can cause or worsen their acne condition.
Rather, general diets high in fat oils, and sugars often lead
to skin conditions like acne.
Adult
Acne
Acne affects a number of people including teenagers and adults
up to 40 years of age. The American Academy of Dermatology reports
80 percent of adults between the ages of 20 and 30 suffer from
mild to moderate acne. Over half of all women, regardless of
age, suffer from some form of acne.
Adult
onset acne most commonly affects women as hormonal changes often
occur during ovulation and menstruation, pregnancy, perimenopause,
and menopause. 60-70% of women who battle with acne experience
premenstrual flare-ups
Acne
appears in various forms along the face, back, neck & chest
whitehead - small, white lump in the skin.
blackhead - small, black lump in the skin.
pustule - pus-filled, dome-shaped bump.
Acne
can now be treated with skin dermatology lasers such as the smoothbeam
lasers, the Blue-U light system & others.
