Adolescent Acne: Causes and Treatment


   The problem of acne is very common not only among teenagers but people of all ages. When hair follicles plugged due to excess sebum and dead skin cells, the skin faces the condition of clogged pores that gives birth to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and acne. Acne is the most disgusting skin issue as it can be persistent and cause stubborn scars on the skin. If you are suffering from severe issues of acne, instead of wading through self-remedies and myths, consult a Dermatologist in Mumbai before your emotional distress makes the acne condition even worse.

Types of Acne

  The types of Acne include Inflammatory and non-Inflammatory. Non-inflammatory acne is further divided into Hormonal, cystic and stress-induced acne. Post-Adolescent Acne or Adult acne is a condition that is featured by all types of inflammatory acne and mostly occurs after one completes the age of 25. 



Causes of Post-Adolescent Acne

  The most common reason that promotes Adult Acne, is clogged pores due to excess production of sebum, dead skin cells and fungal attacks of bacteria. The skin experts of Skin Clinic Mumbai believe that this aforementioned factor is further influenced by these following indirect factors -
     Hormonal imbalance, stress, and irregular pattern of the menstrual cycle in women, fatty diet and anything that can affect oil production.
     Hair products, makeup, skincare products, and anything that clogs the pores.
     Some medications like lithium, anabolic steroids and corticosteroids can cause hormonal disbalance that results in acne.
     Bacterial fungal Infection.
     Underlying diseases like endocrine disorders.

Treatment for Post-Adolescent Acne

Topical Medication:

  To prevent clogged pores, Dermatologists usually prescribe gels, creams, and lotions which are actually retinoid-like drugs derived from vitamin A and include adapalene, tretinoin, and tazarotene. For fungal treatment, a Dermatologist in Mumbai prescribes antibiotics like Benzoyl peroxide that is combined with erythromycin and clindamycin. Salicylic acid and azelaic acid are also good antibacterials. To reduce inflammation, Dapsone is the best cure.

Oral Medication:

  Isotretinoin is the best cure for acne when all medications fail. It is a powerful drug combination of Amnesteem, Sotret, and Claravis, best for treating severe acne. However, women who are pregnant should avoid Isotretinoin, as it has some potential side effects like causing damage to the fetus. Other oral medications are- tetracycline, estrogen & progestin Combined oral contraceptives, spironolactone, etc.

Therapies:

  The dermatologists also suggest some additional therapies along with medication to cure Adult-acne more effectively. Skin Clinic Mumbai performs various acne-therapies like Chemical peel to fade acne pigments, photodynamic therapy & Laser treatment, whiteheads & blackheads Extraction and Steroid injection.
