half of adult women suffer from acne. I think many adult men do to. I%26#039;m positive this number has risen in the past few decades of adult cases, but there are no good studies on it.
I am wondering if it is an immunity deficiency and part of it has to do with a suppressed immune system..
wondering if sufferers have other immunity problems, asthma, other skin conditions.
I am wondering if it had something to do with the mass vaccines we were given as children (talking about gen. X here)|||OH, WHAT AN IDEA. I%26#039;VE NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THIS WAY BEFORE. I%26#039;VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY SKIN FOR YEARS. I HAD ALL OF THE VACCINES. I DON%26#039;T REALLY HAVE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW. MY HUSBAND IS AGAINST ALL MEDS AND VACCINES, SO I%26#039;LL SHARE THIS WITH HIM. THANKS.|||janey You are on the big news!!鈥?br>

Pink Hoodies of the World, Unite!|||Overacting oil glands are usually caused by hormone imbalance. Take 10-15000 i.u. of betacarotene a day and bring down to 5,000 when acne subsides. Do not take estrogen formulas.|||I think its more related to genetics than immune system.|||You are already convinced that this is the reason for your ailments so why are you asking people about it? If an immunity problem was the reason for adult acne then everyone with an upper respiratory problem would be plagued. Adult acne, actually called acne rosacea has many factors, stress, diet, hormone levels and just because. Rosacea, unlike teenage acne is linked to diet so cutting out alcohol, spicy foods and caffeine may help not to look so red and pustular.|||Acne is a conundrum. Some believe stress inproper diet to much caffiene lack of hygene and genetics. As well as others im sure. And i%26#039;m sure acne may be due to illness. But probs with your immune system is unlikely. Due to the fact that your immune system is working it is wrapping the partical in white bloodcells and you get a zit. Or a infection wich means your immune system is working. it is attempting to push the partical out. So no I dont believe it has to do with your immune system.

Does anyone have any answers/remedies for adult hormone induced acne? The outbreaks are more like itchy nodule
cysts and last what seems forever!! Any help or suggestions?|||Go to the dermatologist and see if they will put you on Accutane. It is the ONLY cure for acne.

i just make sure i wash my face at least once a day. and i put a very light moisturizer just around my chin %26amp; cheek area.
i know that just washing your face sounds like nothing..but i honestly wasn%26#039;t washing it everyday. i have to make it a habit to wash.
now, i can %26quot;feel%26quot; when it%26#039;s getting dirty, and need to wash it...just like you can %26quot;feel%26quot; when your hands are dirty.
i use whatever is around...plain soap works great for me. i tried all kinds of fancy face soaps. they just cost me more money, and seemed like now that i look back, that they were making my face worse.
also, my daughter had baby acne when she was young. i put on cortizone %26amp; it made it go away. i hear witch hazel or hydrogen peroxide works on new bumps.
that%26#039;s the other thing...i wasn%26#039;t getting %26quot;pimples%26quot; per say, but just bumps around my chin area, and i hated them!

Then you would see the difference!|||Theres no cure or specific age when it goes away. I have acne and I%26#039;m 18. There are signs it going away but I still get some big pimples once in a while.|||it won%26#039;t go away on its own. sad to say. in my teens i always had the clearest skin until i turned 21 now i%26#039;m fighting acne. lol i%26#039;m a commercial for proactiv. and yes i use it. not cause jessica simpson says so..she scares me. but you should try that or talk to a dermatologist first if you%26#039;re not sure.|||For some people it does. However, I%26#039;m 40 and still get it once a month or if I use the wrong facial product. Did you check with a doctor? A good dermatologist can help.|||Ideally acne disappears after teen years, because these are due to hormonal changes鈥?br>
But sometimes even if you鈥檙e older it still remains, probly because of bacterial pathogens. Try taking antibiotics, ask your physician on what dosage is suitable for your age. Other reason may be heredity鈥?and blood infection|||Voice of wisdom, let me tell you sweetie, I am 32; and I still suffer..its all about water intake. The more water you drink the better your skin will look..it is one glass per every 20 lbs; say 160--8 glasses) also vitamins, B, E, silica are excellent. The water is essential!! I also have model friends, and a home remedy is--YOU MUST WASH YOUR FACE EVERY MORNING AND EVENING!! Also IS MAKE A MIXTURE OF 1/2 WATER AND 1/2 HYDROGEN PEROXIDE on a cotton ball, gently cotton over face, and let dry, and after dry, apply moisturizer..MORNING AND EVENING!!!

A good diet low in red meat, high in other protein, such as salmon, blueberries and strawberries, lots of green vegetables and green tea helps. If you need an acne line, don%26#039;t use a benzoyl peroxide line, but a salicylic acid product, such as Arbonne%26#039;s. I like Arbonne everything! Contact me with questions!
Adult acne scarring treatment - please help!?
what can i use to make them dispear!
i have an oily skin - spots mainly round chin and forehead! old acne scars are like red to black spots!
used every thing! nothing worked!
whats the best to buy from Boots in the UK|||Well, try seeing a dermatologist to get something specially for your skin type and problem. When you are there at the dermatologist%26#039;s office, ask him/her about an acne scarring treatment. Either that or you can just try doing this instead if you do not have the time:
1). Google up %26#039;acne-scarring treatments%26#039; and try to find a product for you.
2). Then Google up %26#039;most recommended acne-scarring treatments%26#039; so you can get a more accurate answer about what works and what doesn%26#039;t. (Even if it is the product the you found on Google that you think is the best one for you.)|||I saw a Dermatologist and I was given Differin cream which is the only thing I%26#039;ve used that seems to have made a difference .
I%26#039;ve tried many things and they didn%26#039;t help. Bio oil won%26#039;t help you as it just makes oily skin more oily which%26#039;ll just make you get more spots which%26#039;ll lead to more blemishes.
Good luck!|||Go and see your doctor, he/she will refere u to a dermotologist. You have to get rid of the acne COMPLETELY before you can even start to think about scar treatment.|||Bio oil has done wonders for me.
And its inexpensive. =]

Does anyone have Rosacea a*k*a adult acne?
I was recently told I had Rosacea a-k-a Adult acne. I was using products for an average teen acne that I thought I still had, but then found out it was making my skin worse with break outs because the Rosacea made my skin more sensitive. I do still get break outs...What should I be using. I have been using Cetaphil anti-bacterial cleanser and also an Aloe Vera Gel. Is this right or not? I cant afford to see a derm.. at the moment.. Need advice with anyone with this personal experience...|||i hate to admit this because it%26#039;s gross. But I was told the same thing, one doctor would say rosacea, another acne, none of the treatments would work. Finally, I discovered that I had a bacterial infection under the skin. I wasted alot of money and time only to find that rubbing a little athlete%26#039;s foot cream on my face each night for about 3 days got rid of the problem permanently. I know it%26#039;s kinda icky but if you can%26#039;t get to a really good doctor you might want to try it. It can%26#039;t really hurt.|||dont worry, clean and clear is way better. and yes i still have acne, don%26#039;t worry its only natural.|||All u do to avoid acne is wash ur face more and dun eat hot stuff or chocolate.|||A lot of people probably do... don%26#039;t worry about it. Your%26#039;e fine.|||rosacea is not adult acne. you should learn the difference because acne medicines will just dry out your skin more causing it to become more red. go to a dermitologist and get prescribed creams.|||First of all Rosacea is not AKA adult acne. They are 2 separate skin disorders. Probably why acne products are making it WORSE. Rosacea is treated with specific medications prescribed by a dermatologist. Keep using a gentle moisturizer and you can see your primary doctor regarding rosacea, you don%26#039;t have to see a dermatologist if you can%26#039;t afford to.|||You will need special cream and sometimes pills from the Dermatologist. Avoid caffeine, spicy food and alcahol. It makes skin worse.|||you need a perscription for cream that you would use twice daily (morning %26amp; bedtime)
Use luke war water and a VERY mild cleanser.
Good Luck
