The ABCs of Acne: Understanding the Basics
When it comes to your skin, finding the perfect combination of products to keep your body and face glowing and healthy is essential to your body's health and well-being.
Dr. Robert Fischer, Dr. Alison Fischer, and Dr. David Minor of Southside Dermatology and Skin Cancer Surgery, located in Tulsa, Muskogee & Broken Arrow, OK, are available to discuss your acne condition, what causes it, and how you can handle breakouts.
Skin Breakout Causes
When a pore becomes clogged with skin debris or excess oils. The buildup of these materials causes a blemish filled with waste products from your body.
Skin breakouts are most commonly seen in younger people, affecting predominantly males in their teens or twenties. Females more commonly get breakouts in adulthood due to hormonal changes in the body.
Family heredity can play a part in skin issues. Breakouts are the most common reason for people to seek out dermatologists. Listed below are some items that can cause breakouts.
- Bacteria - too much of your body's natural bacteria can lead to blemishes
- Dead Skin Cells - naturally shed dead skin cells can clog your pores
- Sebum - over production of a natural skin oil, sebum, can clog the pores
- Foods - a sugary diet, skim milk, and whey can cause breakouts
According to Southside Dermatology and Skin Cancer Surgery located in Tulsa, Muskogee & Broken Arrow, OK, the following are some acne triggers that can cause breakouts.
- Stress - increases cortisol, which can contribute to breakouts
- Picking - makes the condition worse with a longer healing time
- Medications - some side effects cause skin breakouts
- Weather - humidity or high pollution can cause breakouts
- Skin Products - choosing the wrong skin care products can cause breakouts
- Clothing - tight-fitting, hot, or sweaty clothing contributes to breakouts
