Adult acne is a condition that affects many adults, and up to a quarter of men and half of women will find that they are affected by adult acne at some point in their lives.
Factors that cause adult acne
Some factors that might result in adult acne are: the usage of drugs and medication, lack of vitamins, hormones, and prolonged exposure to detrimental chemical substances or toxins.
Thankfully, adult acne brought about by these factors are more often than not short term and will not last.
Adult acne is caused by excess sebum produced by the sebaceous gland which is located just under the skin. Acne bacteria that is present in the skin is able to feed on and then reproduce thanks to the excess acne and the resulting inflammation thus develops into adult acne.
If you intend to control and manage your adult acne issues, changes will have to be made in hygiene habits, as well as your lifestyle and eating habits.
A couple or two pimples can most likely be easily dealt with by acne medication purchased over the counter, but if the condition persists or is more severe you should see a dermatologist.
