Causes of acne
in adults
Unlike the
causative, factors of acne in adolescents and those
causing acne during pregnancy, the causes of acne in
adults are not mainly on account of hormonal imbalance.
The occurrence of acne in adults differs from the acne in
adolescents, in that the acne in adults appears on first
day of the job or during the Management review meeting,
whereas in adolescents, it breaks out during the
sixteenth birthday celebrations, more specifically when
the concerned boy or girl is ready and steady to blow out
the candles, because it is then the acne manifest in full
bloom on the inflated
cheeks.
Causes of adult
acne
It happens
that sometimes adolescence is gone and acne is left
behind. A boy has to commit quite a few follies, before
he becomes a man. As soon as the boy becomes a man, both
the follies and acne are gone away and sometimes, with a
chunk of happiness too. Having once become an adult one
is not considered a potential candidate for hormonal acne
because all about hormones is under control, complete
hormonal balance prevails and complete harmony among
hormones exists. Under circumstances then, what are the
causes of acne in adults?
A jigsaw
puzzle
Mark
Twain said, “Around man cannot be expected to fit in
a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his
shape.” This is one of the most important
causes of acne in adults. Entering in the sphere of
adulthood, one needs time to acclimatize with the newly
stablised state of hormonal balance. A mature person can
not get easily excited. Specificity of adulthood is the
burden of responsibility.

Increased energy
requirement
One has to
work hard and to work consistently for long hours
utilizing the best of one’s physical and mental
capabilities. As such the energy requirement is
increased, and to meet, many people resort to excessive
use of sugar and fats. They are high calorie yielding
foods and provide instant and more than sufficient
energy. The excess of calories remaining unutilized, are
deposited in the adipose tissue in the form of fat. This
additional fat causes obesity and acne in
adults.
Acnegenic effect of
Social norms
To consume fast
foods and irregular snacks comprising of fried and fatty
foods; almost devoid of fiber and to consume foods at a
time scheduled by others, even without any appetite,
particularly when it comes to business meals, favours
development of acne in adults. Unlike kids who are at
liberty to express their thoughts freely, the adults are
constrained quite frequently not to do so, mostly in
their own interest.
Freedom of
expression prevents
acne
Suppression of
expression is like building a dam to check the flow of a
water course. Unless provided with compatible reservoirs
or distribution channels, the dams are likely to give way
to the continuous addition of inflow. Similarly an
imposed check on the outflow of thoughts may bring about
some physical changes and cause acne in
adults.
