Adult Acne
As if your plate isn’t full enough, then suddenly your skin breaks out. So what is causing it?? It could be something as simple as your phone. We rarely stop to think that it should be de-germed on a regular basis and it probably picks up a lot of yucky stuff. Or it could be something from this list…
*Medication. Some medications that can induce acne include anabolic steroids (sometimes used illegally by athletes to “bulk up”), some anti-epileptic medications, the anti-tuberculosis drugs isoniazid and rifampin, lithium and iodine-containing medications.
*Chronic physical pressure on the skin. Chafing from the straps of a backpack or tucking a violin between the jaw and chin can cause chronic physical pressure on the skin and may induce a condition known as acne mechanica.
*Chlorinated industrial chemicals. These may induce the occupational skin disorder known as chloracne.
*Metabolic conditions. Changes in the hormonal balance, such as those brought about by pregnancy, menstruation or hormonal abnormalities can induce acne.
And sometimes it simply needing stronger products. My son suffered from adult acne, but a trip to the dermatologist quickly sorted everything out. He skin cleared up almost overnight. The difference was amazing.
