The appearance of multiple inflammations (acne) on the skin is a multifactorial disease. There is no universal solution to this problem. And what helps a friend won’t work at best, and will only make the problem worse at worst. Svetlana Evdokimova, dermatologist and cosmetologist at the Ilya Trukhanov Clinic in Kurkino (KIT), told socialbites.ca about the three most common causes of acne in adults.
The first common cause is hormonal imbalance.
“Acne disease occurs due to disruption of the sebaceous glands – increased or decreased sebum secretion, causing blockage and inflammation of the excretory ducts. Most often this occurs against the background of hormonal changes: in adolescents – during puberty, in women – during pregnancy, after abortion or when hormonal contraceptives are canceled, in men – as a result of a hereditary predisposition to increased production of androgens or due to this specialist, for “muscle growth” He said it was up to taking anabolic steroids.
Malfunctions of internal organs are also often the cause of acne.
“The skin is a ‘mirror’ of our internal processes. So, the appearance of acne can be the result of malnutrition, as well as the disruption of a number of organs and systems: endocrine glands and adrenal glands, reproductive system (polycystic ovaries), gastrointestinal tract (chronic dysbacteriosis, cholelithiasis , pancreatitis) or ENT organs (chronic tonsils) inflammation). That is why acne is often treated not only by dermatologists and cosmetologists, but also by other specialized specialists, ”the doctor emphasized.
In addition, improper selection of cosmetics, improper or insufficient skin cleansing, frequent use of aggressive care products that reduce its protective function (soaps, peelings, scrubs) can create a favorable environment for the development of pathogenic microflora and trigger the inflammatory process.
“Only a doctor can offer an effective solution or a combination of methods, taking into account the root cause of the rash, your hormonal background, skin type, age and other nuances. You should not independently carry out any procedures at home. First, consult a dermatologist. To determine the cause of acne, additional examinations (blood, stool, urine tests), as well as consultations with a gastroenterologist, endocrinologist, gynecologist, urologist or ENT doctor, can be carried out, ”the doctor said.
