Teenage acne is more common one which is majorly due to lack of skin hygiene, surge of hormones, certain skin whitening products, and bacteria.Adult acne tends to be associated with conditions like hypothyroidism, Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) or excess androgen production as its root cause.
Four main factors that cause acne are
Acne is a disease of hair follicles which get plugged by the excess sebum (oil) generated by the attached sebaceous (oil producing) glands. This appears as a whitehead when it is covered by a layer of skin. Once the white head gets oxidized on interaction with air, it turns in to blackhead. These both contribute towards the incidence of non-inflammatory acne. Regular clean up, micro-exfoliation of skin and removal of excess hair by laser can bring down their occurrence to a greater level. An untreated blackhead/whitehead can release its exudates to the skin surface and heal, or ensue to inflammatory acne if the follicle wall ruptures.

Well, sunscreen 101! You just have to pick the right sunscreen. There are two categories of sunscreen: Chemical sunscreen (eg, oxybenzone and avobenzone etc) and physical sunscreen, which physically reflect UV rays (eg, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) while some chemical sunscreens can irritate the skin, causing breakouts , physical sunscreens may be of actual help . Also look out for non comedogenic , perfume free sunscreens. Zinc oxide, a common active ingredient in physical sunscreens may kill acne-causing bacteria. Mineral sunscreens are also quite popular for its repairing and antioxidant effects apart from deflecting UV rays away from skin. So no more SPF excuses!
Recent studies on teens show that washing your face twice daily is more effective than just once daily. But excessive washing of the face could rip off the essential natural oils and moisturizing factors from the skin and may dry out your skin. Mild cleansers are advised. Leave on products like vitamin a derivatives are more efficacious
Well it's a myth! Acne usually worsens on its own. Even untreated benign black head or white head could lead to becoming an inflammatory one which would lead to infection, hyper pigmentation and scarring. Over the counter benzoyl peroxide treatment could be used for a mild acne, but for severe cases consult your doctor immediately at our clinic.
Some makeup can definitely exacerbate acne, especially the thicker liquid foundations that clogs your pore. Lighter and looser powder foundations, like mineral powder aren’t nearly as occlusive and aggravating to your skin.
Acne could have lasting consequences on how you feel about yourself. If left untreated , it can make your skin less healthier. Improperly managed acnes could cause blemishes and leave permanent scars.
Well, though it may get rid of the pus filled red pimple, it may leave behind acne marks and scars if it doesn't push the pus in to deeper planes and make it more deeper acne. Sometimes the pus that comes out thus further spreads acne to nearby pores.
