MM: On the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders.
In which age group is acne most common?
MM: Acne is more prominent in teens.
Do adults suffer from acne?
MM: Absolutely. Acne problems may afflict men and women in their 20’s and 30’s.
Who is more likely to be affected by acne?
MM: Usually, young men because their bodies tend to produce high levels of testosterone to promote growth which tends to over stimulate the oil glands to over produce oil which is one of the major causes of acne.
Young girls will present with breakouts usually before their menstrual cycles. However, those with more severe breakouts need to look into several key causes such as: PCOS (poly-cystic ovarian syndrome), heavy and painful periods which may indicate endometriosis. If you are a young girl who is over weight with heavy and painful periods and suffer from breakouts than your are more than likely suffering from a hormonal imbalance caused by some kind of a reproductive problem.
What are some common causes of acne?
MM: The etiology of acne is unknown. However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produce. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.
