Worse Acne Than When You Were a Teen?
If you are one of the thousands of adult acne sufferers, you probably thought you’d either escaped acne altogether or that your acne days were behind you, when the dreaded pimples struck. Many people experience worse acne as an adult than they did as a teenager.
Although 80% of people are affected by acne at some point in their lives, most of them find that symptoms disappear as they reach their early twenties. Unfortunately for those with adult acne, the outbreaks are just beginning.
What Makes Adult Acne Worse Than Teenage Acne?
Although physically there isn’t much difference between teenage and adult acne, the lasting physical and emotional damage it causes can be greater. Only 1% men and 5% of women suffer from adult acne, making them very much in the minority.
Teenagers have the promise that they will grow out of their acne, which isn’t always the case with adult acne. They also have younger skin which will rejuvenate faster, meaning fewer scars.
Adults may feel they experience worse acne than teenagers because it affects their confidence and self esteem. At an age where they are looking to settle down with a long term partner, they may feel their acne makes them unattractive. Adult acne can lead to depression, isolation, and poor performance at work.
The Outlook for Adult Acne
The good news for adult acne sufferers is that the sooner they seek treatment the more effective that treatment can be. The UK National Health Service reports that 90% of people seeking acne treatment experience at least a 50% improvement in their symptoms within three months. The sooner you get treated for adult acne, the better. To avoid worse acne scars and emotional damage from adult acne, seek treatment for your condition today.
Adult acne responds particularly well to a holistic healing approach because it tends to be caused by environmental factors rather than hormonal ones. You may have noticed the ebook Acne No More pictured in the right hand column of this post. It details and step by step holistic approach to curing adult acne from within and is well worth a look.
