ADULT ACNE: CAUSES AND REMEDIES

Acne can be a real problem for adults, especially women, who are more likely than men to have acne that continues into adulthood.

There are two types of adult acne:

• Persistent acne. This is acne you have beyond your mid-20s. It is usually on the lower face, especially around the mouth, along the jawline, and on the chin. Unlike the milder acne you may have had as a teenager, persistent acne often causes inflamed pimples and deep-seated nodules or cysts — painful lesions that often lead to scarring.
• Late-onset acne. Even if you sailed through adolescence with nary a zit, you can first develop acne as late as 30, 40, or even during menopause. Late-onset acne can be just as severe as persistent acne, and can affect the chest and back as well as the face.

The Causes of Adult Acne
Acne happens when oil glands secrete too much sebum, a natural moisturizer in your skin. When your pores become clogged with excessive amounts of sebum and skin cells, an infection-causing bacterium can start growing, resulting in acne.

• Medications. Some birth-control pills can help control acne — but others can make it worse. Some other common triggers are  medications used to treat epilepsy and depression.
• Genetics. 50% of adults with acne have at least one first-degree relative (a parent, sibling, or child) who has acne.
• Hormones. Fluctuations in female hormones can cause breakouts. Some women develop late-onset acne when they stop taking birth-control pills that contain estrogen and progesterone. If you get pimples when you are stressed, it might be because of overproduction of testosterone.
• Skin and hair products. Some sunscreens, hair products, and cosmetics can promote "acne cosmetica." 

Prevention Strategies
Proper skin care is essential!

• Wash your face gently. Wash your entire face 2x a day with a mild soap. Be sure to wash after exercising.
• Protect your skin. Don't pop your pimples. Also use a non-comedogenic sunscreen of at least SPF 15

Treatments
Adult acne is more difficult to resolve than teenage acne. There are some over the counter treatments, and if those don't work then consult a dermatologist. A prescription medication might work. Treatments can be very effective and resolve almost all cases of adult acne.
