First acts Acne

If it has no ignition (red buttons) but only of blackheads, adults who suffer from acne (or 41% of women between 19 and 45 years, anyway) can attempt to resolve this problem alone

First practicing better hygiene of life

sleep, stress management, judgment of the cigarette, Sun protection

use of care products non-comedogenic

facial cleansing twice daily with care washing at the AHA or an amount

-stop when it is possible to responsible treatment of the acne breakout (to be decided only in agreement with its specialist doctor)

use of medicated cream without prescription

The golden rule

if button, refrain from touching on pain worse. Best: apply a product drying and hardly evacuate the Comedo if a white tip. Very important: to camouflage, choose non-comedogenic makeup

Acne does not only teens

Acne is similar to abnormalities of the pilosebaceous follicle: a proliferation of sebum (the white and black points) and inflammation of the follicle (red pimples and pustules)

Wrongly believed that acne specifically affects teenagers. Off there is not age but high-risk periods: the first weeks of life, puberty but also their 20s or even pregnancy and menopause. The rules are also a critical moment. Besides acne, if it does not, treat the can last a long time, even a lifetime. Adulthood, women are more at risk than men. Their acne is localized mainly on the lower part of the face. It severely affects self-image and generates relational difficulties especially in the professional setting

Acne: triggers in adults

Certain factors trigger the onset of acne in adults: a hormonal imbalance (in favor of male hormones) the use of products cosmetics comedogenic socket B vitamins (especially B12 and B6) (often shown in "cocktails") or cortisone, some anti-seizure but also hormonal treatment (pill and IUDs)

Fatigue, smoking, stress, can also cause acne breakouts. The consumption of sugary foods and dairy products may increase the acne but is not responsible for its release.

Another misconception to fight: the Sun would improve acne. It is wrong! The anti-inflammatory action of the Sun gives this impression but actually keratin thickens to defend themselves and the return from the holiday, of blackhead point

Finally 

it also happens that acne appears without specified cause

Acne: when it does not improve

If the situation does not improve, that the skin is irritated by the dint of be crushed and that acne is inflammatory at the outset or that it represents a real discomfort in daily, a dermatologist's consultation is required. Intervene too late is to risk ending up with deep scars.

The specialist will prescribe a treatment tailored to the type of acne. For acne moderate: a cream based retinoids the benzoyl peroxide minimal inflammatory injury and drug local to dewater the buttons and stop fiddling.

Acne most important, the dermato prescribe besides seals: zinc (it regulates sebum secretion) cyclin (rarely from the monocyclines) and for special cases (pregnant macrolide) and women of anti-androgen pills of cyproterone acetate.

The results appear after one month. In the event of inefficiency, it remains roaccutane that atrophy of sebaceous glands. This long treatment (between 6 months and 1 year) gives very good results: 50% of those treated will never have acne in their lives! On the other hand, this deserves a close monitoring: taken regular blood to detect pregnancy tests, cholesterol problems (this medication can induce fetal malformations).
