What Are The Top Causes And Treatments Of Acne

There are a lot of different causes of acne. The top cause is over production of hormones which leads to excessive secretion of sebum. If this sebum gets blocked in the pores it can lead to acne. The formation of acne on the skin of the face and back is common in the adolescent period , but in recent years we've seen an increase in Adult acne in both men and women. It is believed that stressful modern lives, combined with environmental factors is behind this increase in adult acne. Once adult acne occurs, many people find that it recurs unless there is some lifestyle change. Hormonal changes in a person can cause the formation of acne in later life. However, if lifestyle changes don't work and there is no reduction in the acne then it might be necessary to seek treatment from a medically qualified practitioner.

Why do people suffering from acne need medical intervention?

Many of those who don't suffer from acne think that it is a simple problem that can be corrected easily. However, recurrant or persistent acne usually only responds to cosmetic treatments.
