The very first thing you must realize when trying to cure your acne
is the type of acne that you actually have. This is important
because it gives insight into what may have actually caused the acne
outbreak to begin with. And of course, once you know exactly what it
is that triggers the acne, you have a leg up on either preventing it
from happening again, or effectively treating it as it occurs.

There are many forms of acne, which would explain why it is so
difficult to treat. I have listed several causes of acne and many of
those may surprise you, but I also hope that they will help you
discover what causes your acne. For instance, a great many people
would likely be surprised to learn that acne is not caused by
stress, as they may think, but more likely can be attributed to
their fancy new perfume or cologne.

Adult acne can be caused by a hormonal imbalances, pollution,
medications, or stress to name a few. Studies have shown a direct
correlation between hormonal imbalances and outbreaks of acne in
women ranging in age from 30 to 40 years.

Acne Cosmetic is just what it sounds like. It is the outbreak of
acne due to the aggravation of the skin and pores caused by the
active ingredients contained in the cosmetics that you wear.

Acne Conglobata can cause serious scarring on the face and back and
it is usually attributed to hereditary factors. Unfortunately,
there's not a lot that can be done here.

Acne Detergens is the result of the use of soaps and cleaners that
cause an irritating effect on the skin.

Acne Excoriee is actually brought about by the constant picking of
the pimples on the face and body. This, perhaps more than all the
other symptoms, can and should be avoided.

Acne Fulminans is a very serious form of acne that can accompany a
fever and body aches. This acne is predominantly found amongst males
and it includes the abrupt onset of acne, severe scarring, fever,
loss of appetite and a high white blood cell count.

Acne Keloidalis is common among people of African descent. It
usually flares up in and around the neck area.

Acne Mallorca is brought on by exposure to sunlight.

Acne mechanica is caused by materials and fabrics such as clothing
and purse straps that chafe against bare skin.

Acne Medicametosa is a side effect of certain medications which
include oral contraceptives and over the counter drugs that contain
potassium iodide, chlorine and bromide.

Acne Neonatorum is acne that affects infants. It is transferred by
way of hormones from the mother to the child.

Acne Pomade is commonly caused by the use of oils found in hair care
products. The oil migrates from the hair to the forehead, where it
can clog pores and cause acne.

The bottom line is, that many forms of acne key and you've waited by
taking simple precautions and knowing what causes irritation and
your specific case. One great tip is to avoid touching your face
with your fingers. People have no idea how dirty their fingers
actually are and in many cases the occurrence of outbreaks can be
avoided.
