Quite a few people tend to believe that only those in their teen years can get acne. However, there is the condition that is simply called, adult acne, and it is merely a matter of distinction. Acne can affect people at any time in life. Although it is accurate that the features are more often seen in teens than adults. What may happen is the acne from the teen years can carry on into the adult years. There are many factors that contribute to this happening, and there is no one blanket statement that will apply to everybody. So it really is in the best interest for anyone with acne to seek the advice of a dermatologist. Doing this will assure you that you're getting the most effective treatment.

The often cited recommendation to avoid squeezing blemishes of any kind is given for a reason. Are you one of those people who are constantly picking at your pimples? If so, the odds that you will end up with scarring are increased. And when you have a scar, your skin has been damaged. Be very careful if you squeeze your pimple so you don't squeeze it to the point where it starts bleeding. You're just asking for scarred skin and large pores if you squeeze aggressively. It is usually OK to gently squeeze a pimple if it's relatively close to your skin's surface. To make it easier and more successful to squeeze your pimple, soften it with some warm water on a washcloth to both cleanse and warm the area. Make sure you don't use hot water. When the skin is warmed up a bit, gently squeeze the pimple. Don't make the mistake of thinking it's best to squeeze until there is nothing left in the pimple, because this aggressive squeezing can lead to skin damage. Emotional scarring is the other form of scarring - other than physical - that can occur in a person with acne. For example, there is often humiliation with acne and other negative emotions. Teen-agers can be thoughtless sometimes and humiliate another student who has acne. This just makes the situation more difficult for the acne sufferer. Loss of self-esteem is just one of the side effects of acne and, as you know, this can bring on even more debilitating emotional issues. The emotional damage from acne is widespread according to recent studies. Those inflicted with acne are more likely to be suicidal and depressed than those without acne. To keep from suffering the side effects of acne, the best time to stop it in its tracks is when you first become aware of it. Don't waste any time getting to your dermatologist as soon as you have your first attack of acne. You need to get treatment started timely to keep it from becoming a more serious issue.

Hormones can also be a primary motivator for the appearance of acne. Hormonal changes are often associated with menstrual or puberty cycles that occur in some people. Follicular glands in your skin can grow excessively due to the hormone called androgen. The end result is that the acne will increase because of increased sebum production within the hair follicle. Bodybuilders and weightlifters might see their acne increase if they use anabolic steroids when they do their workouts which increase androgen levels. Therefore, if you see an increase in your acne, and you are ingesting any of these substances, this may be why you are having a problem.

If all else fails, go to your local dermatologist to seek out professional help. You will get the most accurate feedback about your skin and condition. More times than not, you will receive a prescription to help you with your acne condition.
