Acne and hormones-
Acne is caused by the excess production of sebaceous glands. These glands also begin shedding more dead cells at the same time and block the gland forming acne. Hormones control all these. Can we not do anything about them to keep acne away? Let us find out.
Hormonal changes-
We undergo lot of hormonal changes during our puberty. The male hormones- androgens that are found both in males and females cause excess production of sebum. These hormones are found in much lesser quantity in women. After puberty, women undergo lot many hormonal changes during pregnancy and because of birth control pills. But men do not experience these hormonal changes.
What about adult acne?
It is accepted that women may get acne because of hormones in adult hood, but why do men get acne in adulthood? There must be some associated hormonal change or some other reason.
Acne in adult men-
Men do not undergo hormonal changes after puberty for many years. There is something called male menopause, but one does not hear of men getting acne at that age. Why people still keep on getting acne? It seems that in some men the hormones remain actively changing for a longer period and they have some tendency to form acne at a later age also. One must consult the doctor to find out about what can be done to control hormones to stop acne formation. Click here to learn more about Sever acne
