Acne is a skin lesion that occurs on the face, neck or the back
as a result of the hormonal effect of oil glands in the skin
known as sebaceous glands. Acne
is estimated to affect around 17 million people in USA in
a year. The condition usually affects young people between the
ages of 12 and 25 due to a high degree of changes in the hormone
level of the human body.
Acne is caused as the pores get blocked along the lesions as
a result of the excessive secretion of the sebaceous fluid through
the pores. As indicated above, acne is common among adolescents,
but acne among adults is not rare.
1) Acne that recurs after the adolescent stage
2) Acne that appears for the first time in the adulthood and
3) Acne that appears during times of high hormonal changes like
in the case of a pregnancy and consumption of birth control
pills.
Acne that appears for the first time among adulthood needs medical
diagnosis in order to treat the acne from the root cause, like
with an anti DHT formula.
Causes of Adult Acne
There are many culprits that onset acne. Oral medications, hormonal
changes in the body, stress, pregnancy can all cause acne in
adults. The process to clear Acne is comparatively difficult
among adults. Unlike the popular belief that chocolates and
oily foods cause acne, they actually do not have much influence
in the formation of acne. Similarly there is no scientific proof
to the effect that dirty skin or strain causes acne.
Treating Acne
Severe cases of Acne are to be treated by dermatologists
though normal cases can be treated by family physicians, or
general practitioners. Treatment of acne aims at eliminating
the existing acne and avoiding recurring acne. Medications used
in the treatment to clear acne are intended to avoid the clumping
of the cells in the follicles, control the bacteria and reduce
inflammation and reduce the oil production in the glands. Medicines
or drugs may be topical or systemic or even a combination of
both. Most common over the counter topical medicines usually
used in the treatment of the Acne contain benzoyl peroxide,
resorcinol, salicylic acid and sulphur.
All these medicines are available in a variety of bases like
gels, creams, soaps and lotions. While the benzoyl peroxide
helps to reduce the oil production and also as a bacterium killing
agent, the remaining drugs are used to remove the blackheads
and reduce inflammation. The only "permanent" treatment for
acne on the market is Accutane. Unfortunately, Accutane can
have multiple side-effects and must be prescribed by a physician.
All other acne treatment needs to be continued to prevent the
acne and lesions from recurring.
Clearogen is an effective treatment to heal the existing acne
and also in preventing the acne from re-appearing. Clearogen
works to treat the acne from the root while preventing new lesions
from developing on the skin. Clearogen gets to the root cause
of the acne by helping reduce the hormone by-product DHT, which
is instrumental in the excessive oil production in the sebaceous
glands. No other medicine works by this mechanism. The use of
pore cleansers helps to clean up the dirt and the oil from the
skin especially from the T-zone of the face.
Clearogen
Foaming Cleanser is to be daily to reduce dirt, make-up
and sebaceous oil build-up in the pores.
Clearogen
Acne Lotion reduces the redness and inflammation on the
skin while preventing DHT production and DHT attachment to the
sebaceous gland. Topical treatments that are most effective
against acne are Anti-DHT products that control acne by eliminating
the ability of DHT to cause excessive oil within the sebaceous
glands. Finding a product that limits oil production and contains
benzoyl peroxide will go a long way to helping you to clear
skin. More resources on acne can be found at the American
Academy of Dermatology website
