A common misconception about acne is that it is a syndrome of the teenage days. But in reality, acne is extremely common in the latter phases of one’s life. For instance, for a number of women acne is one of the menopausal syndromes, just the same way they are the part of puberty. The hormonal imbalance relating to pregnancy of taking birth control pills also lead to appearance of acne. Some women even experience the occurrence of acne before every menstrual circle.

From the dermatological perspective, acne is the result of blockage of the pores of your skin. Excessive oiliness, caused by excess production of oil in the sebaceous glands leads to accumulation of dead cells on the openings of the pores which in turn become the breeding ground for bacteria. This bacterial invasion results into inflammation and red spots. Now excessive oiliness is mainly a result of hormonal imbalances with a high level of androgen and testosterone hormones. Then hereditary factors and use of wrong cosmetics are also two common causes behind development of acne in some people.

Acne is a skin irruption that may take many forms ranging from a small red spot to large, painful, pus filled and swelled cyst. Generally, we all suffer at some points of our lives from milder form of acne. These do not leave any scar. Even if there is any scar, it disappears naturally over time. But there are people who suffer from acute acne, which in dermatological terms are called Nodulocystic, leave sign of deep scars in the skin in most cases.

Medical science has not been able to discover any medication that can help in complete prevention of acne. But the good news is that there are different types of treatments which work for reducing the severity of the acne so that it does not create scars and the risks of infection are also avoided. The general objective of various types of acne is same at the basic level. They all fight against the common factors leading to acne. They are aimed at reducing the oil production and excessive thickening of dead cells at the follicles. They also prevent bacterial invasion, and reduce inflammation. You can get some of these medicines over the counter, while others are prescription medicine. In addition to topical ointments, the oral medicines are also used in the treatment of acne. In recent times, vitamin b-5 based medication has become quite popular, while medicines of Isotretinoin group are prescribed for the acute cases of acne.

To get the best result from any of the treatments, stick to a healthy and hygienic lifestyle.
Wash your face adequately with pH balanced soap free cleansers and keep the system hydrated by plenty of water. Go for a nutritious and light diet to keep the liver and other organs on their best state.
