Adult Acne: Causes, Treatment and When to See a Dermatologist

Why acne appears in adults, how it is treated and when to see a dermatologist. Dermatology visits at Radeski Skin Clinic in Fergana and Kokand.

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, and it affects not only teenagers but adults too. Breakouts can appear on the face, chin, cheeks, back and chest, leaving pigment spots and scars behind. The right treatment helps control inflammation and lowers the risk of new breakouts.

Why does acne appear?

Acne is linked to excess sebum production, clogged pores and inflammation in the skin. Breakouts can be triggered or made worse by:

• hormonal changes;
• genetic predisposition;
• stress and lack of sleep;
• pore-clogging cosmetics;
• some medicines.

In adult women, breakouts often get worse before menstruation or with hormonal changes. However, not every case of acne is caused by a hormonal disorder — the doctor determines the cause based on symptoms and medical history.

How is acne treated?

Treatment depends on how severe the breakouts are, the skin type and whether there is inflammation. A dermatologist may recommend topical medicines, skin care products and, when needed, systemic therapy.

It is important not to squeeze pimples or use harsh home remedies: this can increase inflammation and the risk of scarring.

There is no single plan that suits every patient, so it is best to see a dermatologist before starting treatment. More on treatment methods: Adult acne: causes and modern treatment.

When should you see a dermatologist?

Book a consultation if:

• breakouts last for a long time;
• painful nodules appear under the skin;
• pimples leave spots or scars;
• home care does not help;
• breakouts suddenly appear in adulthood.

Seeing a specialist early helps choose the right therapy and lowers the risk of post-acne marks. If marks and scars have already formed: Post-acne: how to reduce scars and spots.
