Acne Internal Disease
- Hormones are one of the leading causes of acne in both teens and adults. When teens go through puberty, they experience an imbalance of hormones, resulting in acne. Adults can experience acne when going through menstrual cycles or pregnancy, and people of all ages can be affected by hormones injected into milk, meat and other animal products.
- Internal stress that you experience can cause breakouts in the form of pimples and cystic acne. These breakouts have nothing to do with your cleansing routine and can only be treated with a reduction in stress levels and prescription or alternative medicine.
- Although what you eat has never been proven to have a direct effect on your acne, many people notice a spike in acne breakouts when they ingest a lot of caffeinated drinks such as soda pop or mocha drinks. Cutting back on these may help prevent breakouts and get your skin back to normal.
- Many dermatologists recommend prescription medication to help solve an acne issue that has an internal basis; however, some prescriptions have damaging side effects unrelated to acne. Oral contraceptives, tetracycline and Tretinoin cream are all popular acne relief medications. Discuss any possible side effects of these treatments before using them.
- Mayo Clinic doctors suggest zinc as an effective supplement to treat acne internally. Zinc also boosts your immune system, which may help to prevent acne from developing.
