Common Causes of Acne

If you are suffering from acne in Peoria, AZ, what you need is a treatment to get your skin cleared up. Dr. Vernon Mackey of Advanced Desert Dermatology has a full-service dermatology practice with two offices, one at W. Thunderbird Rd and the other at W. Lake Pleasant Parkway.

Most people consider acne to be a skin condition that is confined to teenagers and while they are the main sufferers, they are not the only sufferers. You can get an acne breakout at any age.

Stress

Stress causes a very troublesome reaction in your body between the immune system, the skin, and the neuroendocrine system. Studies have shown that an increase in stress results in an increase in the severity of acne breakouts. Stress management can play an important role in controlling outbreaks of acne. The good news is that stress management does improve both mental health and bad skin.

Medication

Certain medications can cause an eruption of acne. Drug-induced acne looks very similar to other types of acne. Drugs can cause the condition by being applied, taken orally, or even inhaled. Some drugs that can cause acne are birth control pills, corticosteroid creams, and antibiotics are just a few of the potential drugs.

Hormones

Everyone who has a teenager knows that hormones are raging and this leads to many acne breakouts during those years.  It also means that women who are in their menstruating years are also prone to breakouts that are hormonally induced by mother nature or birth control pills.

Cosmetics

If you are suffering from acne in Peoria, AZ, you should take a good look at your cosmetics. Read the labels to see what is in the makeup. It is also important to wash your face twice a day and never to sleep with your makeup on. If you can't figure out what makeup is the problem, make an appointment with your dermatologist.
