Back & Face Acne Treatments In Leeds
Acne is an anti-inflammatory disease, resulting in outbreaks of tiny pimples and redness. Known as the most common worldwide skin disease, it tends to largely occur in adolescence.
WHAT CAUSES ACNE?
Acne occurs when the hair follicles of the skin become blocked. This typically occurs when the sebaceous glands produce an excess of serum. When mixed with dead skin cells, they clog up the follicles, causing them to become inflamed.
There are several potential causes of acne, with the most common being hormonal changes. This makes the condition more prevalent in teenagers and pregnant women.
WHY DOES ACNE AFFECT SOME ADULTS?
Although acne is more prevalent in adolescents, it can also occur in adults. Adult acne is becoming more common, and it mostly affects women. This again is down to hormonal changes, as well as emotional or physical stress. Occasionally, certain medications may also be to blame.
There is a large number of acne treatments available to clear up regular breakouts. Providing effective results, these treatments can help patients to regain their confidence.
