Problems Of Teen Acne
Teens usually start to get acne when they are in their pre-teen years. Studies show that girls tend to start breaking out with acne around the age of 11, and boys at the age 13.
Teens tend to have an outbreak of acne when they are under a lot of stress or extra pressure, such as an important test, or the prom.
Scientists have found that bacteria are the common problem for acne. There are four main common factors that initiate acne. These are bacteria, hormones, changes inside of the hair follicle and an increase in the sebum production.
Teen acne has other internal factors that include their growing hormones, certain drugs such as contraceptives, corticosteroids, lithium products and corticosteroids, that can affect acne.
The factors on the outside of the skin that might pertain to teen acne are as follows. Skin bacteria, cosmetics, especially kinds that contain wax and oil, along with these are the sweating under helmets and long bangs. If you notice that your teen is breaking out under their bangs, try having them change their hairstyle for a while and see if that helps.
Open pores can be clogged with dead skin that can lead to bacteria lesions.
For a teen female they tend to have more of an acne break out about a week before their menstrual period. This is due to the sensitivity of androgens and sebaceous glands.
The skin cells lining the follicle will shed more quickly during puberty. |
