More than 80% of all teens get acne in some form. From the ages of 12 to 22, the chances are high that most will have some type of acne problem to deal with. Since it varies in severity from those who have just 1 or 2 pimples during the teen years to those who have severe acne, treatment options are different.Acne is usually triggered by the onset of puberty.

These glands, which normally produce the right amount of sebum (oil) to lubricate your skin and hair, produce too much of it due to this stimulation. This excess oil can mix with your dead skin cells and clog the pores, leading to the growth of bacteria. This causes the formation of the redness, pain and swelling that we call acne.The type of acne that teens get is called acne vulgaris or common acne. There are other types of acne such as acne rosacea, acne cosmetica and cystic acne.

For other adults suffering from acne, the outbreaks did not start until they reached their twenties.The causes of adult acne vary and can be any one or a combination of the following conditions.StressUntil recently, stress related acne was a myth. Researchers are now beginning to understand the correlation between stress and acne. For adult acne sufferers, stress is considered to be the leading cause to post-pubescent breakouts.When we are exposed to stressful situations, the brain triggers the central nervous system, which in turn sends signals to the rest of the body as part of a primitive fight or flight response. Part of this response is hormonal release from our adrenal glands and fatty secretions from the sebaceous glands, which lay beneath the skin.Both hormonal imbalance and fatty secretions, which can clog pores, are known contributors to acne outbreaks.Hormonal ImbalancesHormonal imbalances as a cause of adult acne primarily affect women.
