Derm/cinema Freeze Frame--Why is adult acne a secret?

Un sitio de acne de famosos... hey hay de todo en la internet!!!


Despite the numerous factions in medicine today, there is one fact that remains irrefutable. Any dermatologist, most other physicians, nurse practitioners, mid-wives, holistic docs, alternative medicine providers, chiropractors, homeopathists, cosmetologists, massage therapists, tae bo therapists, and down right old fashioned baseball-apple-pie-and-Chevrolet quacks all agree: Adult acne is extremely common. Probably every person over the age of eighteen struggles with at least the occasional acne lesion. Yet no one talks about it.







Yet acne in all its forms is very prevalent in adults as well. Note the comedones seen through the makeup of singer/ actress/ cultural icon Madonna. Brought on by stress, changing hormone levels and a family tendency, acne begins as superficial pores close. Despite what you may find on the internet, diet does not seem to play a prominent role in causing acne. Deep to these closed pores, inflammation develops. This turns into pustules (white heads) or deep cysts. Pores that are partially open but plugged with material represent blackheads. This material, called keratin, has nothing to do with Madonna's song "Material Girl." Keratin can be drained or expressed, by skin doctors or facialists. This has nothing to do with Madonna's song "Express Yourself." Picking at one's own acne lesions can increase risk of scarring.
