Late Trauma: Why Do Adults (Post-Teens) Get Acne?

You Must Check Our Top Rated Acne Treatment Click Here Now

With the kind of family history that I have, most of my cousins have acne in one form or another, except my cousin Deborah, who was the object of general envy because, at 24, she had perfect, glowing skin and was thought to have escaped the family curse. Lo, by the time she was 26 and about to get married in two months, she developed acne, and it has persisted. Now, at 31, she has the typical acne victim’s scarred and pockmarked face and has become famous in the family as the one that almost got away.

How Is Acne Related To Bacteria?

During the course of my research on acne, I have been forced to change my opinion on several previously held beliefs, chief among them the firm conviction that bacteria cause acne. Now that I know better, it is easy to laugh airily at my earlier naiveté. However, I am amazed at how many people I speak to believe that acne is directly related to bacteria. So I’m doing my good deed for the day by telling you that there is no direct link between acne and bacteria.

Yes, there is a bacterium – first name Propionbacterium and last name acnes (P. Acnes, in short) – that lives in all skin types and is harmless on its own. However, the problem begins when a follicle is clogged. P. Acnes really comes into its own and starts breeding at an alarming rate under such conditions. As it breeds, it causes chemical changes that cause acne eruptions.

Statistics Related To Acne

I just had to write about this. With all the hoopla about acne, and how it’s the most common skin affliction in the world, I seriously did not expect to find this piece of information: ONLY 11% OF ACNE SUFFERERS SEEK HELP. I mean, seriously. Ok, this is only the USA that I’m talking about, but consider this: 60 million Americans have active acne, and of these, 20 million have acne that will leave scars. And of these, only 11% will visit a skin specialist, even though the social taboo associated with acne is enormous.
