Acne : Adult Skin
Just when you thought that your years as a teenager are over and that all the acne would finally disappear from your face, you are hit with the adult acne.
Now that you’re older, you’re long past the problems that caused teenage acne, right? Well, your random breakouts might suggest otherwise.
Puberty is a common cause of acne. About 8 in 10 preteens and teens experience it.
But hormones aren’t the only thing to blame for those pesky pimples. So if you thought you left breakouts and blemishes behind with that first crush, think again.
The truth is, up to 15 percent of adult women have acne.
"What’s interesting is that you can get it [as an adult] even if you didn’t have it as a teenager," says Francesca Fusco, MD, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.
Although the pimples look the same, grownup breakouts are different from the kind you had in high school.
“Adult acne is usually on the lower half of the face; teen acne is typically on the upper half,” Dr. Fusco says. “Adult acne is also deeper and appears as cysts, or ‘under the skin’ pimples, which can’t be drained.”
Teen acne usually sits on the skin’s surface, she says.
So what’s causing those embarrassing zits today? One culprit: changing hormone levels. This includes premenstrual dips (aka period pimples), and fluctuations that occur during peri-menopause.
Cosmetics, your skin-care regimen, and lifestyle choices may also be to blame, as well as factors you’ve never considered.
