When you mention acne most people instantly think of hormonal teenagers
standing in front of the bathroom mirror refusing to go to school because
of a pimple on the end of his or her nose. Acne isn't necessarily like
that, though. It's true that Acne does appear to be a hormonal affliction
but it isn't true that it's only teenagers who can get it. Adult men and
women can suffer from adult acne at any age and it is not uncommon to see
people of 40 suffering quite badly. Adult acne can be just as serious as
teen acne causing depression and social anxiety in people of all ages and
from all backgrounds.
1- Adult acne really is a lot more widespread than you might imagine.
25% of adult men and up to as many as 50% of adult women are expected to
suffer from adult acne at some point during their adult lives. It really
is a lot more common than you probably imagine and there is no reason to
be ashamed by it.
2- The exact causes of adult acne, like teen acne, remain unknown.
Certainly hormones have a big part to play in people of any age
contracting acne but the exact relation nobody knows. Because of it's
similarity, though, the treatments and prevention for adult acne are
virtually identical to those of teen acne and are easy to use or
follow.
3- Acne, in general, is one of the most common medical problems in the
world and it is estimated that 30% of all visits to dermatologists will be
due to acne. However, because the world looks at acne as a teen problem
they fail to realize the mental anguish that adult sufferers can face.
Adult acne can lead to serious depression and social anxiety as grown men
and women become afraid to go out in public.
4- Scrubbing and scrubbing your pimples will not help. It is more
likely to open up sores that can become easily infected. These will look a
lot worse than any acne pimples and can leave some quite visible scarring.
Cleansing is fine but you should avoid scratching or picking.
5- There are a large number of natural botanical remedies to help with
adult acne that you may want to consider trying. Dandelion and Burdock are
both proven to help as are Lavender, Dock Root, Turmeric and Strawberry
Leaves. There are many more natural solutions that are very easy to find
and even easier to incorporate into your daily lives.
