Adult acne treatments.

Translate in Italian language

Adult acne affects 25% of all adult men and 50% of adult women.

Acne can occur at almost any age, and some people don't have skin problems until their 20s, 30s, or even later.

These are the official statistics, but in my personal experience, i am 35 years and have been haunted by acne until very recently.

Read my experience

Particularly cystic acne is most common starting at 20 years; it is a severe acne causing depression and social anxiety in an adult the same way it can in a teen. Also, cystic acne can cause ugly scars.

Adult acne generally have hormonal roots.

I recommend you to get a thorough check up of hormones in your body if you have acne in your adult life.

Over activity of the sebaceous glands usually results from the presence of excessive amounts of male sex hormones (androgens).

I recommend you appropriate monitoring of the hormone levels by a laboratory specializing in hormone analysis for determining the type of medication, its dosage and its effectiveness during therapy.

Also consider that presence of acne in females may be an important sign of an endocrine hormonal problem.(ovarian or adrenal gland disease, polycystic ovarian disease)

The good news: there are many effective treatments for cystic acne.

The existing adult acne treatments are the following:

---

1)Accutane: About 80% of patients got the best results with the help of this drug but it can cause very bad side effects.

2) birth control pills:in 1997 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved low dosage birth control pills for the treatment of acne. The hormone present in the birth control pills prevents acne to form. Most of the birth control pills can be used for the treatment of acne. Personally I have cured my cystic acne with Diane 35.

It takes several months for the birth control pills to show the result but it is very effective.

You can combine oral birth control pill with topical Retin A for best result.
