Acne and adolescence

Acne in adults- causes

Sometimes many adults who have no acne in their earlier years get acne. It is as if since acne had spared them during adolescence, it comes during the adult years. Hormonal changes during adulthood may cause more sebum production and resultant acne. The hormonal changes may be due to pregnancy in women, birth control pills etc. Some athletes and others take anabolic steroids to build their body. That can cause adult acne. Medicines such as lithium, medications for tuberculosis etc. can also cause adult acne. You will need to talk to your doctor and find out if any medicine is the cause. Before that you may benefit by knowing more about the acne facts. Please click here to know about acne facts so that you don’t carry ideas that have no scientific basis.

The main problem with most of the acne treatments and acne products is that not everyone reacts the same way to the same treatment; in other words what worked for one may not work for another. Because I’m a registered nurse and have come in contact with many acne patients, I’ve learned a lot over the years about acne, acne scars, acne treatments and treatments for other skin conditions. Living with acne can be very difficult, and it may be even more difficult to find just the right acne treatment for you.

The most commonly known types of pimples are whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts. Acne is the most common of all skin diseases. Baby acne is basically a rash seen on the cheeks, chin, and forehead of infants. Acne rosacea is a red rash seen predominantly on the face.

Experts usually don’t agree on what causes acne. If you’ve heard that dirty skin causes acne, it doesn’t - it’s definitely not true. Doctors think certain factors might cause or contribute to acne including, but not only, hormone increases in teenage years, hormone changes in pregnancy, starting or stopping of birth control pills, heredity, medicines and greasy make-up.

When you wash your face use a very soft touch, taking care not to rub or scrub your skin too hard. Since the latest research indicates a connection between stress and acne, make a serious effort to cut down on stress any way that you can. For the best acne treatment, which has worked for many, apply (preferably organic) virgin coconut oil to the area daily; try it on a small test area for a day or two first.

If you wear make-up make sure to choose it very carefully; it should be free of any oils. Too many chemicals can strip your skin of its natural oil protection and the skin will overproduce oil to compensate for it, blocking your pores and causing even more acne. Treatment with raw organic apple cider vinegar will work better on your skin if it isn’t already noticeably irritated from acne medicines, acne products or other failed treatment.

Try not to touch your affected skin to eliminate any possible contamination. One treatment method that some people have used is applying cornstarch, egg whites or milk of magnesia as a facial mask. It bears repeating, you want to be good to your delicate skin and never, never pop or squeeze a pimple no matter how tempting.

Besides an acne condition, if you also have eczema or dry skin, coconut oil will treat those skin conditions too. Raw apple cider vinegar application to the skin is a cheap, alternative acne treatment that has worked for many adults, teens and children with acne, zits, pimples, or other types of blemishes. Try applying a very thin layer of coconut oil and massaging it deep into the skin to heal and soothe the affected area.

It’s easy to treat acne cheaply, simply, naturally, yet still very effectively, at home. Drinking a lot of pure, filtered water may be one of the most important things you can do today for your acne, thus working from the inside out.

In any case, no matter what skin or acne treatment you choose, whether it’s chemical, drugs, alternative, or natural methods, changing your usual diet will be the best treatment you can do for your acne and you’ll achieve overall good health in the process. Adding a lot of fresh, raw fruit to the diet has helped many people clear up their skin conditions; there are tons of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients in fruits and vegetables. To cure yourself of acne, you need to correct the problems that are going on inside of your body that are causing the acne.

When your liver gets overloaded with toxins it will send the toxins out through your skin as well as your other organs of elimination. Some alternative doctors recommend eating a raw clove of garlic daily for acne; you can chop one up finely and add it to your daily salad!

Use olive oil with a tablespoon of very fresh flaxseed oil in your salads. Good nutrition will help your skin from the inside out. The next time you want to have a snack, instead of junk food, help your skin by having an apple, orange, peach, pear, banana, plum, berries or other fruit.

Eating foods with EFA’s (essential fatty acids) are particularly important for people with dry skin or acne. Eat at least one or two organic apples a day while working to clear up your skin; apples are good for skin health. Make sure they’re organic so you can eat pesticide-free skin (most of the apple pectin is in the skin), which also helps with constipation.

Be assured that scientists are constantly looking at new non-invasive ways to treat acne. Naturally you can’t expect to get rid of your acne in just a few days; natural treatments take a little time to work; but if you are persistent, you’ll get blemish-free skin and won’t experience any of the dangerous side effects that you might find in commercial acne medicines or treatments. Don’t give up - try everything you can until you get relief from your acne condition.

There are times when one must think about alternative, natural, effective treatment methods to get the best cure or solution to their acne, zits, pimples and blackhead problems. Acne is caused by the clogging of the follicle of a skin gland causing a pimple to grow. While it’s easy to find acne treatments, finding the just the right treatment or treatment product for you is what’s important.

Acne is most common in teenagers and young adults. The most common type of acne is acne vulgaris. Acne is the most common skin disease. Acne is a group of skin rashes that have different causes. Acne will affect almost every person at some stage of their life.

Scientists are looking at ways to prevent plugs and ways to stop testosterone from causing acne, if it truly does. Doctors think certain factors might cause or contribute to acne including hormone increases in teenage years, hormone changes in pregnancy, starting or stopping birth control pills, heredity, medicines and greasy make-up.

It’s not true that dirty skin causes acne. Understanding that hormones may have some influence on the cause of acne needs to be considered.

Popping pimples can cause infection and scarring. Coconut oil is very inexpensive, therefore, a good, cheap home remedy. Stay out of the sun if you’re taking any acne medicines. If you’re going to buy acne products, it’s much more worth your while to buy acne-treating products that work against current pimples and that also fight against the occurrence of new ones.

You want to avoid squeezing, pinching, or picking your pimples because it can cause scars or dark spots on the skin. One good natural method is to apply a thin layer of coconut oil and massage it deep into the skin to heal and soothe it. Raw apple cider vinegar application is a cheap, alternative acne treatment that has worked for many adults, teens and children with acne, zits, pimples, or blemishes.

Acne scars resulting from loss of tissue are more common than scars resulting from increased tissue formation. Acne scars result from increased tissue formation, response to the inflammation of acne and loss of tissue. Whether acne scarring is deep or superficial, extensive or scattered, the end result can be less than desirable and even disturbing.

Essential fatty acids are particularly important to people with inflammatory conditions such as eczema and acne. When you change your diet, your lesions should be getting better within 30 days. Whether you eat a natural diet with living fruits and vegetables or eat dead junk food, what you eat may have a direct or indirect affect on the male hormones which may play a part in acne. Drink lots and lots of pure, filtered or spring water.

Put two tablespoons of coconut oil in your smoothies. Eat foods that contain essential fatty acids. Drink freshly juiced carrot juice every day.

Sunlight, water and air play an important role in keeping the skin healthy. Unclean skin favors the development of pathogenic organisms - the dead cells that continually slough off of the epidermis mix with the secretions of the sweat and sebaceous glands and the dust found on the skin to form a filthy layer on its surface.

In any case, try not to panic about your acne and take it day by day. And you should be able to get rid of your acne, zits and pimples and their symptoms, providing you’ve removed the cause, so it doesn’t reoccur. By simply following a plan you’ve developed for yourself and sticking with it, you can reduce the severity of your acne or even eliminate it entirely.

T J Madigan asked:


Acne is commonly defined as a skin disorder that results from the action of hormones on the sebaceous glands of the skin. It is common among adolescents and young adults, but adults of older age and infants are sometimes affected as well. Acne has been around for centuries, and over the years many people claim to have dealt with this disease by using certain acne cures. But, are acne cures really possible?

As you may know, the market is now littered with “acne cures”, and anywhere you look, whether you walk into a particular store in your neighborhood or surf the internet, acne cures are there. However, if you will ask any of the dermatologist or medical researchers, they will possibly say that acne cures do not really exist. While some acne medicines like accutane provide long term relief for some acne patients, arguments still persist that acne cures are not yet in existance.

Although a number of experts have claimed that real acne cures are not yet in the market, some people have found certain methods and medicines and hailed them as “acne cures”. One of these is the over-the-counter products such as the non-prescription acne cleansers, astringents, pimple creams, and moisturizers. Some of these products that are deemed “acne cures” are now available at local drug stores and chemists. To some degree, they help unplug the whiteheads and blackheads, while others encourage the skin to peel off.

Aside from such samples of deemed “acne cures”, there are also some topical antibiotics, known as “prescription only” products. Several acne patients and experts have claimed that these acne cures help fight acne by means of killing the bacteria that infect the pores. Nevertheless, there are some instances that acne may become resistant to these forms of acne cures, making them useless. Perhaps one of the reasons for this is the fact they have a number of unfavorable side effects, such as dryness, redness, and irritation.

Oral antibiotics which are considered acne cures are also there, but one of the unfavorable things about them is the fact that these acne cures can affect the entire body, causing serious side effects. The known side effects of oral antibiotics are nausea and dizziness.

Some vitamin A derivatives are greatly deemed by many as another great form of acne cure that they can prevent skin cells from clumping together and they promote shedding of the skin. However, just like the above mentioned acne cures, these too have a number of side effects, such as dryness, redness, and irritation. There are even some cases where these “acne cures” are thought to be the cause of some psychological disorders and birth defects.

Whatever your view of acne cures is, one thing that is important to note is the fact that prevention is still the strongest key. As the common saying goes, “prevention is better than cure”.

Cindy Heller asked:


If you are suffering from acne, you need not fret because there are solutions available to treat whatever acne you may have. The products that you can use are stated below. If the tips do not work for you, the safest bet is to see your doctor or dermatologist. But weigh your options carefully as some of the treatments may have some serious side effects.

Applying Acne Medications

If you are only experiencing mild acne which is only a pimple here or there, then you should go to the store or pharmacy and try one of the over the counter acne treatments. There are many creams, ointments, soaps, pads and more to choose from, but you should know that most of these products contain the same ingredients. Any of these products will generally eliminate most minor acne problems.

Choosing Acne Products

There are mainly a few different categories in acne treatment products: prescription medications, topical treatments, and oral treatments.

Prescription medications are the most commonly used for acne, and this consists of products such as Accutane and ProActiv. Both of these products are terribly popular and famous because of the very high success rate among acne patients. However you have to consult with your doctor before taking Accutane and ProActiv, particularly if you are pregnant or nursing, because these and other related products can cause serious birth defects both in utero and from breastfeeding.

Most of the times, doctors will prescribe acne medicine such as benzoyl peroxide and medicated lotion, cream and gels to kill bacteria on the affected areas. These products will normally work and your acne will clear off in a few days. However, there are certain times when these acne medicines will not work on your skin. When the acne medicines prove to be unsuitable for you, return to your doctor and ask for another form of treatment.

About Accutane

Accutane is a very powerful drug which is used to treat acne. It is generally prescribed for about four to five months, and usually clears the acne for one year or more after the treatment is stopped.

The Risks

It is considered that the most harmful side effect of Accutane is serious birth defects, if it is taken during pregnancy. Thus it is very important for women to not take this drug while pregnant or nursing. In addition, a woman who has taken Accutane should not get pregnant until at least a month has passed after they have discontinued use, and only after that time is it safe to become pregnant.

How Accutane works is by decreasing the amount of oil produced by the skin’s oil glands. It may take as long as two months before you actually see any improvement in your skin. There is no other medicine you can take to speed up the effects of this drug. Actually the acne will usually get worse during the first few months of treatment.

Another commonly prescribed medication for acne is Tretinoin. Topical retinoids like this is derived from vitamin A and are used for mild to severe inflammatory acne. They unclog the pores and prevent whiteheads and blackheads from occurring. Although Tretinoin has a very high success rate they too have negative side effects, such as irritation and increased sun sensitivity.

About Proactive Acne Medicine

Proactive acne medicine is a revolutionary, dermatologist-developed system that help the skin heal the existing blemishes and stop new ones from occurring.

There are three basic steps to Proactive Acne Medicine. The first is the renewing cleanser, the second is the revitalizing toner and the third is the repairing lotion.

If you should purchase the product from the pharmacy, you must follow the instructions to its applications strictly and you can see results almost immediately, especially in terms of hydration, which is one of the most important aspects when it comes to treating acne.

Topical Treatments

The topical treatments consist of any types of medicated lotions, creams, powders and gels that are applied directly onto the skin. Topical treatments are also a very commonly used and effective form of treatment for acne. They work by reducing the small infections in the pores and also indirectly keep the pores open. These topical treatments are usually what your doctor will recommend if you have mild to moderate acne.

Oral Treatments

These are treatments which consist of pills and gel caps that are taken orally.

About Acne Pills

Acne pills are also one of the more commonly prescribed forms of treatment for acne. These acne pills, such as tetracycline, may be prescribed for inflammatory acne, and should normally be taken daily for around three months. However it may take up to six months for improvements to be seen.

Some types of oral contraceptives are also used to treat acne. Most of the times a combination of the usual pill hormone called ethinylestradiol with cyproterone acetate works by suppressing male hormone activity. Therefore this method is often used more for women who suffer from acne.

When To See A Doctor

When you think that your acne is becoming severe, you should consult your doctor immediately. Do not self medicate particularly if the flare-ups on your skin are severe because self-medication can cause further harm on your skin.

When To See A Dermatologist

You should only see your dermatologist as a last resort, because many prescription strength acne treatments will affect your kidneys and can lead to long term health problems. However your dermatologist will determine if you are suitable for one of these prescription medications, such as Accutane or Retin-A.
