by Donald on Feb.06, 2010, under Health


Adult acne is a very common problem. Study shows that boys are more likely to suffer acne scarring than girls. But girls are more likely to have adult acne. Adult acne affects 25% of all adult men and 50% of adult women at some time in their adult lives. People can develop unpleasant acne or have an acne recurrence in their 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond. It can be difficult to cope with no matter your age, and can cause depression and social anxiety. It can be difficult to cope with no matter your age, and can cause depression and social anxiety in an adult the same way it can in a teen. Most often, these develop on the face, neck, upper chest, and/or the back. More severe forms can result in inflamed nodules and cysts with scarring. Acne is not caused by poor hygiene or oily skin – although both can make the problem much harder to control – rather, it is a condition of the sebaceous glands, which are attached to hair follicles and produce an oily substance called sebum. A spot forms when a hair follicle becomes plugged with sebum and dead cells.
