Acne is the most common skin disorder in the United States, and though many adults think they’re old enough to no longer experience pimples, they still seem to creep up on their skin. Unfortunately, acne is not just reserved for teenagers and can impact adult men and women just as severely.
What Causes Adult Acne to Form?
Hormones: Hormones play a huge role in your life, even well past your teenage years. Hormonal acne tends to strike women more so than men, as their hormones are constantly fluctuating. Ovulation, menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, and birth control can all throw a woman’s hormones for a loop and contribute to adult acne.
Cosmetics: If you’re suffering from adult acne, it would be wise to look over your cosmetics. Cleansers, moisturizers, makeup, and hair care products all have the potential to irritate your skin and cause pimples to form.
Medications: Certain medications can also play a part in the formation of adult acne. Steroids, certain birth control, hormone therapies, and other medications can cause breakouts. If you’re worried your prescription is causing your acne, speak with our Colorado dermatology specialists to develop a treatment plan that works for you.
Heredity: Acne tends to run in families. If one or both of your parents had acne, your chance of also having it is much higher. Skin type is also hereditary, so if oily skin types tend to run in the family, that may be the source of your blackheads and blemishes.
