Many people think\u00a0Acne<\/a>\u00a0to be a teenage problem. If they even consider it to be an adult issue, they often associate it with women and \u201cthat time of the month\u201d or\u00a0Pregnancy<\/a>. However, many adult men have problems with\u00a0Acne<\/a>\u00a0as well. Here is a look at\u00a0Acne<\/a>\u00a0and how it affects men.<\/p>\n

If you talk to your dermatologist, you will find out that a hormonal disorder causes your acne skin problems. Basically, you have a high level of androgens. These androgens tell the oil glands to make more oil than they really need, and when these become clogged, they turn into\u00a0Pimples<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of\u00a0Pimples<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Blackheads<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Whiteheads<\/a>.\u00a0Blackheads<\/a>\u00a0are caused by a blockage of the hair canal, while\u00a0Whiteheads<\/a>\u00a0are a blockage of the sebaceous follicle, resulting in a white tip.<\/p>\n

If you are using a soap or moisturizer on your face, you should know that these can affect your acne. If you are suffering from acne, you should look into a gentle cleanser designed for oil skin. Do not wash excessively or scrub, since this will irritate your skin and dry it out. For a moisturizer, you want to look for something which is oil-free and will not clog pores.<\/p>\n

Shaving alone does not cause acne, so you do not have to start growing a beard. However, a dull blade or some shaving creams can irritate your skin. Always use a sharp blade, and look for higher-quality shaving creams.<\/p>\n

If you have the occasional stressful day at work or home, it is probably not affecting your acne. On the other hand, if you have a lot of extra\u00a0Stress<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Tension<\/a>, your body will go in to hormone overload, causing more oil production, and therefore more acne. If you are constantly stressed, learning some\u00a0Stress<\/a>\u00a0reduction techniques may help clear up your acne.<\/p>\n

While about seven out of ten teenagers outgrow their acne problems by adulthood, about 30% of teenagers with acne problems will continue to have them into adulthood. In the United States, approximately 17 million adults have acne, and about a quarter of this amount are men.<\/p>\n

A common myth is that squeezing a\u00a0Pimple<\/a>\u00a0will cause it to heal faster. Actually, it can make the problem worse. Squeezing\u00a0Blackheads<\/a>\u00a0can make them inflamed, and popping\u00a0Whiteheads<\/a>\u00a0pushes the germs further into your skin, causing further infection. Plus, this practice can leave\u00a0Scars<\/a>\u00a0on your skin.<\/p>\n

Pimples<\/a>\u00a0do not always leave\u00a0Scars<\/a>; it depends on the person and the acne. Generally, when left alone acne pimples will not cause scarring, though inflamed cysts and papules might. If your acne is severe, getting timely treatment will help you to avoid any permanent scarring.<\/p>\n

There is no difference between the acne on your face and the acne that you might find on your chest or back. Pimples can happen nearly everywhere on your body, since there are hair canals everywhere but on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. Often, the same treatment you use on your face will work on your body acne as well.<\/p>\n
