Acne - The Many Types, Causes and Treatments
The very first thing you must realize when trying to cure your
acne is the type of acne that you actually have. This is
important because it gives insight into what may have actually
caused the acne outbreak to begin with. And of course, once you
know exactly what it is that triggers the acne, you have a leg
up on either preventing it from happening again, or effectively
treating it as it occurs.
There are many forms of acne, which would explain why it is so
difficult to treat. I have listed several causes of acne and
many of those may surprise you, but I also hope that they will
help you discover what causes your acne. For instance, a great
many people would likely be surprised to learn that acne is not
caused by stress, as they may think, but more likely can be
attributed to their fancy new perfume or cologne.
Adult acne can be caused by a hormonal imbalances, pollution,
medications, or stress to name a few. Studies have shown a
direct correlation between hormonal imbalances and outbreaks of
acne in women ranging in age from 30 to 40 years.
Acne Cosmetic is just what it sounds like. It is the outbreak of
acne due to the aggravation of the skin and pores caused by the
active ingredients contained in the cosmetics that you wear.
Acne Conglobata can cause serious scarring on the face and back
and it is usually attributed to hereditary factors.
Unfortunately, there's not a lot that can be done here.
Acne Detergens is the result of the use of soaps and cleaners
that cause an irritating effect on the skin.
Acne Excoriee is actually brought about by the constant picking
of the pimples on the face and body. This, perhaps more than all
the other symptoms, can and should be avoided.
Acne Fulminans is a very serious form of acne that can accompany
a fever and body aches. This acne is predominantly found amongst
males and it includes the abrupt onset of acne, severe scarring,
fever, loss of appetite and a high white blood cell count.
Acne Keloidalis is common among people of African descent. It
usually flares up in and around the neck area.
Acne Mallorca is brought on by exposure to sunlight.
Acne mechanica is caused by materials and fabrics such as
clothing and purse straps that chafe against bare skin.
Acne Medicametosa is a side effect of certain medications which
include oral contraceptives and over the counter drugs that
contain potassium iodide, chlorine and bromide.
Acne Neonatorum is acne that affects infants. It is transferred
by way of hormones from the mother to the child.
Acne Pomade is commonly caused by the use of oils found in hair
care products. The oil migrates from the hair to the forehead,
where it can clog pores and cause acne.
The bottom line is, that many forms of acne key and you've
waited by taking simple precautions and knowing what causes
irritation and your specific case. One great tip is to avoid
touching your face with your fingers. People have no idea how
dirty their fingers actually are and in many cases the
occurrence of outbreaks can be avoided.
