Adult acne
Adult acne, also known as adult acne, is a skin condition that affects people over the age of 25. Although acne is more commonly associated with adolescence, it can also occur in adults and is a common dermatological problem. Adult acne can have different causes and symptoms, so it requires an individual approach to treatment.
Description of the problem
The causes of adult acne can be varied and often include a combination of genetic, hormonal, environmental and lifestyle factors. In women, hormonal changes such as menstruation, pregnancy, menopause and the use of hormonal contraception can be among the main factors influencing the development of acne. In men, excessive sebum secretion, clogged pores and the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes often play a significant role.
Symptoms of adult acne can be varied and include skin lesions such as pimples, lumps, spots and blackheads. Adult acne can affect various areas of the skin, but is most common on the face, neck, décolleté and back. Additionally, adult acne can be more persistent and difficult to treat than teenage acne.
Treatment
Treating adult acne often requires a more comprehensive approach that addresses hormonal, dermatological, and lifestyle causes. Using appropriate skin care products, such as gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and acne treatments, can help control symptoms. Additionally, a dermatologist may recommend drug therapy, including retinoids, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, or hormones, depending on the cause and severity of acne.
In addition to drug therapy, it is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoid stress, stay hydrated, and eat a diet rich in nutrients. Additionally, regular visits to a dermatologist can be helpful in monitoring the condition of the skin and adjusting treatment.
