What Is Acne?
Acne is a common skin disorder that tends to afflict young men and women in their teens. However, about 20% of acne sufferers are adults.
Acne usually appears in conjunction with the hormonal changes associated with puberty, starting somewhere around the ages of 10-13 years. Acne develops when secretions from your sebaceous glands — otherwise known as your oil glands, which are located at the bottom of your hair follicle — clog the follicle opening.
Large clogged openings appear as small, dark spots called blackheads. Small clogged openings look like flesh-colored or whitish bumps known as whiteheads.
Why Do I Have Acne?
You didn’t get acne because you ate too junk food. Your genes and hormones cause acne. Other factors that contribute to acne include:
- High levels of androgens, like testosterone (common in both girls and boys during puberty)
- Oily skin
- Bacterial overgrowth in the clogged follicles
- Some oral contraceptives
- Injectable contraceptives
- Hormone-releasing IUDs
- Stress
How We Treat Acne Naturally
Dr. Quiroz helps you get your acne out of control with lifestyle adjustments, topical medications, and — in severe or recalcitrant cases — oral medications. She advises against popping or squeezing acne lesions yourself to avoid damaging your skin or causing an infection.
Possible adjustments and therapies include:
- Gently cleansing skin with mild cleanser and astringent twice a day
- Only using non-comedogenic cosmetics
- Protecting your skin with daily sunscreen
- Topical preparations with benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, sulfur, or Resorcinol
- Prescription medications such as antibiotics or Accutane
- Oral spironolactone (recalcitrant cases and women who have PCOS)
