The recent studies in the derma medical segment have been proficient in discovering many other possible treatments for acne in the three forms in which it appears: mild, moderate and sever. The statistics affirm that almost eighty percent of the derma condition that we call acne appears in the individuals between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, but the rest o the twenty percent of this, is reserved unfortunately for sufferers who exceeded the age of twenty five.

The thing that acne is a teenager disease is a myth, and even thou in so many cases it has something to do with the hormonal imbalances that emerge once puberty starts, the main causes of its apparition are still somewhat of a mystery to the specialists acting in this medical field.

Many adults confront with acne and other derma afflictions can reach the age of forty and still keep on battling. Of course, hormones and the imbalances in the cellular activity that the normal organism has in order to function properly, can affect the skin tissue and its layer. The main argument to sustain all this is when women have the menstrual period and just prior to it, many women are confronting with a mild case of acne apparition. This is directly linked with the hormone activity and some other perturbing organic reactions.

So why do we keep on develop a mild, moderate or even severe case of acne?  So doctors claimed long ago that is something to do with hygiene, but this was also a busted myth, while seeing the miners in their obscure and claustrophobic dusty spaces, where they did their jobs, all day long, covered in many forms of dirt, dust and oils. They did not developed forms of acne or other derma diseases.

Not all of them at least. The main fact is that the skin itself has some protective methods to battle the outside environmental factors. The main defensive weapon that the skin tissue has, is the sebaceous glands that secret oily solution, in order to cover the skin tissue and protect it.

The excreted solution is called sebum and even thou the ninety percent of the existing cosmetic products on the market today are trying to clean up this oily secretion. The excess of this particular oily excretion can create some obstruction in the skin pore and in the hair follicle. This all mixed up with the dead cells layers and bacteria that are usually present here can create some problematic damages.

These obstructions can lead to some other complications once the acne is in its mildest form, with redness and small zits. They can easily lead to cystic forms of acne burst outs and this can really affect your facial tissue. They can be painful, huge zits that cover a lot of purulent secretions and are very hard to treat.
