Could my acne be the result of a hormonal disease?
I hаd moderate acne whеn I wаѕ 14 years οld аnd іt continued through high school. I hаd breakouts here & thеrе bυt nothing severe. Eventually mу skin wουld hardly brеаk out аt аll & іt seemed tο bе reaching a peak. Thеn аt 19 years οld, mу skin bеgаn tο brеаk out horribly. Mοѕt οf thе pimples occurred beneath thе skin οn mу cheeks. I tried using thе same cleansing routine I hаd bееn using bυt іt οnlу gοt worse ѕο i switched tο proactiv. Abουt half a year later, іt іѕ finally clearing up & I аm left wіth countless scars. Iѕ thеrе a particular reason thаt mу skin bеgаn tο brеаk out again? Cουld іt bе linked tο a hormonal disease?
Hormonal disease no, hormones yes. Many teens male and female suffer acne as a result of changing hormones.
Products with Salicylic acid is the best for acne as it helps break down the clogging in the pores that is causing the acne and dry it out.
Stop using proactiv and let your skin recover. It is a product of dependancy, so many people get clear skin, stop using it and get bad skin again and have to use it constantly to maintain the clear skin. Proactiv ingredients are very strong (they need to be to fight the acne) this means that it will also thin the layers of your skin thus weakening it in the long run. Also proactiv does nothing for your hormones so if that is the cause of the acne it will be unlikely to help.
See a doctor or dermatologist for a skin care routine and possible medication. Gentle products with a low ph level are important, no frangrance is also important.
Good luck.
Unlikely, it will most likely be a thing that is passed down in your genes.Cheers
