Acne: the new face of successful women

Dermatologists at the University Hospital of Nantes established a difference between adolescent acne and the woman of twenty-five years later, characterized by deposits of oil located deeper into the skin.
About 50% of women are finding skin problems when they already believed exceeded at an earlier stage.

Even some of them had never experienced the discomfort of skin irritation. Scientists believe they have identified the root cause, which comes from professional women: the stress of success.
Apparently the pressure to sustain a career is what is happening in the skin account. The study indicates that high-flying executives are most prone to acne.
Women are now under more pressure than in previous generations and the resulting stress release makes male hormones, which in turn produce more oil, which can lead to clogged pores.
Compared with men, women have a tendency to suffer from acne for up to three times more than men because women’s skin is more sensitive to the action of male hormones on the sebaceous glands.
Different acne

Acne is caused by a bacterium called Propionibacterium everyone worn on the skin, usually without problems.
“However, in those prone to acne, the accumulation of oil creates an ideal environment for reproduction of this bacteria,” he told the BBC Deborah Mason of the British Association of Dermatologists.
Acne is easily recognized by the appearance of pimples and their distribution in the face, neck, chest or back.
However, there are varieties of acne. The most common of these is the type called “acne vulgaris.” In 2007, for example, a study in the British Journal of Dermatology, isolated a type of acne called “smoker.”
The study of the Hospital of the University of Nantes made ​​the difference between teenage acne and skin rashes in adults.
While adolescents tend to have these irritations in the skin called “Zona T”, including the chin, nose and forehead, women who are approaching thirty more suffer from cystic eruptions, located deeper in the skin, more hardened and difficult to treat.
Dr. Susanna Baron, Canterbury Hospital, UK, said it was an opportunity to reassess our view of acne. “Unrecognized how acne affects the lives of adult women.”
Treatments
“At the moment, there is no cure for acne,” says Deborah Mason of the British Association of Dermatologists.
“Although existing treatments can be very effective in preventing the formation of new cysts and scars.”
Topical treatments are applied directly to the entire affected area, for example, the entire face.
The doctor may also recommend a course of antibiotics for a minimum of two months, usually erythromycin or some type of tetracycline.
For women, birth control pills can help. The most affective contain a hormone blocker that reduces the amount of oil on the skin.
