Young people and adolescents are generally
known to suffer from the nightmare of having acne and pimples. In fact,
skin care products are targeted to this age group itself. But, it is a
lesser known fact that acne and pimple are also associated with adult
people. In other words, adult acne is not uncommon.
Adult acne
can affect all the people including those who suffered from acne in
their teens and even those who have never ever seen a single pimple on
their face. Almost all people think that acne and pimple are restricted
to adolescents and teenagers. So, adult people appear to be a bit
surprised when they notice a pimple on their face.
But why does acne appear in adults or what are the causes of acne
among adults?
1) Although it is hard to point out the triggers of acne in adults, there
exist many causes of acne. Apart from the usual causes, there are also
some special causes of adult acne as well. They are:
2) An adult faces many types of hormonal changes in his adulthood. These
hormonal changes can cause more production of the sebum which is
responsible for appearance of acne. Pregnancy and usage of birth
control pills are some of the other reasons for hormonal changes.
3) People especially athletes taking anabolic steroids for muscle growth
are also more likely to suffer from adult acne.
4) Some medications such as lithium and those meant for tuberculosis can
also be a cause of adult acne.
5) If you are suffering from severe form of adult acne, it is better for
you to consult your physician.
Suffering from pimple and acne in the adult age can cause a lot of
emotional distress but you need to cope with it. According to a study,
nearly 40% of all the acne products in The United States are purchased
by adult people. So, you are not alone!
