Acne
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions that affects not only teenagers, but also adult men. It can take various forms - from blackheads to pimples to painful cysts. Below we will describe the causes of acne and give some examples of its treatment.
Causes of acne in men:
- Hormones: One of the main causes of acne in men is hormones, especially androgens, which stimulate sebum (sebum) production by the sebaceous glands. Excess sebum leads to clogged pores and inflammation.
- Genetics: Acne susceptibility may be hereditary.
- Stress: High stress levels can affect the appearance of acne.
- Improper skin care: Washing your face too aggressively, using pore-clogging cosmetics, or lack of proper hygiene after a workout can all lead to skin deterioration.
- Environmental pollutants: Such as smoke, dust can lead to clogged pores.
Acne treatment methods
We can treat acne with “home methods.” However, for your own safety, comfort and effectiveness, the most recommended are dermatological treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser therapy and LED treatments, which can help treat inflammation and improve skin texture.
Acne in men is a complex problem that can have many causes. If you have noticed this problem in yourself, do not delay and contact a dermatologist as soon as possible.
