Juvenile acne is acne common in young people, most often the changes disappear with age (acne vulgaris). The first symptom of ailment is the appearance of blackheads, which may be closed or open. The formation of juvenile acne is influenced by hormonal changes and an inadequate diet.

What is adolescent acne?

Many adolescents struggle with unwanted breakouts in their teens. Their formation, especially in visible places, e.g. on the face or neckline, is a big complex in teenagers. Juvenile acne differs from acne vulgaris in that it occurs in adolescents, i.e. between 11 and 18 years of age. A large number of blackheads appear on the skin of a teenager in a closed or open form. They can become inflamed and spread to other areas, such as the arms and back. Appropriate reaction to the emerging blackheads and choosing the right treatment reduces the risk of leaving unsightly traces for life.

Proper skin care is essential to avoid acne complications. For this purpose, order Sevolium Cream for oily, acne and spotty skin today. For everyday use, we also recommend the soothing Olive-laurel sulfur cleansing soap Surgras Aleppo Soap Co. by Tadé.

What is the cause of juvenile acne?

The symptoms are mainly influenced by hormonal changes, which are especially intense in adolescence. The level of androgens in the blood increases significantly, which affects the work of sebaceous glands and the appearance of acne on the skin. Another cause is hyperkeratosis in the area of ​​the sebaceous glands and hair follicles, and the multiplication of bacteria within these glands. Pimples like to appear in many adolescent girls before menstruation – hence the thesis about the relationship between estrogen levels and the occurrence of pimples.

Other factors influencing the formation of adolescent acne:

1. excessive stress negatively affecting the hormonal balance;
2. inadequate diet: eating a lot of sugar and fast food;
3. sunbathing – makes our skin thicker, and thus the free outlet of the sebaceous glands is blocked;
4. low content of vegetable fats and zinc in the diet;
5. food alergy;
6. mechanical irritation;
7. inaccurate cleansing of the facial skin (clogged pores);
8. the use of certain preparations.

For problematic, prone to irritation or sensitive skin, you can choose a tonic with colloidal silver or a mist with colloidal silver. The Perilla satin matting serum for mixed and acne skin will work well in regulating sebum secretion.

Juvenile acne – diagnosis

In each case, the diagnosis of juvenile acne requires a visit to a dermatologist, and sometimes even an endocrinologist. Taking into account the fact that the most common cause of acne are hormonal disorders, doctors often have the level of individual hormones tested:

1. testosterone,
2. androstenedione,
3. DHEA,
4. TSH,
5. prolactin,
6. pituitary gland hormone (FSH),
7. LH,
8. FT4 thyroid hormone,
9. progesterone,
10. estradiol.

If it is suspected that the causes of juvenile acne are not due to a hormonal imbalance, other tests are ordered. Sometimes these are food allergy tests, especially when the blemishes appear after eating certain foods. In addition, a glucose test, an acne smear with a culture, a test for the presence of helicobacter pylori, a lipidogram, as well as IgM and IgG are performed.

If you have a problem with acne, try wild garlic, on the basis of which you can prepare a special mask that positively affects the skin. As an aid in acne, you can also use Propolia BeeYes BIO roll-on corrector with propolis for imperfections, which is available at a promotional price on Medonet Market.

How to treat juvenile acne?

The type of juvenile acne treatment is selected individually for the patient, depending on its type and severity. However, this ailment should not be ignored as it is most often the result of disorders in the body. Unfortunately, most acne medications often have side effects and cause reddening of the skin. If no improvement is seen after six weeks of therapy, you should see another specialist. Treatment must be undertaken, otherwise the patient may develop permanent discoloration and acne scars. Added to this is the associated low self-esteem and mental problems of young people.

In the case of blackheads, external preparations are used that give good results. We recommend, among others EPTA AC cleansing peeling for oily and acne-prone skin, which you can buy on Medonet Market separately or in the EPTA AC Cleansing and Care Set for oily and acne-prone skin.

However, when the lesions turn into inflammatory papules and pustules, local and general antibiotics must be administered. The patient may also develop pyoderma, which often do not respond to general antibacterial treatment. Then isotretinoin is administered, which has an anti-inflammatory and anti-comedogenic effect and reduces the amount of bacteria and secreted sebum.

For acne skin care you can buy FLOSLEK AHA and PHA Balance T-zone Correcting Cream or DERMO EXPERT® Normalizing Night Acid Peeling also from FLOSLEK.

In the local treatment of adolescent acne, various types of gels, ointments and creams containing vitamin A derivatives are used. They regulate the work of the sebaceous glands and reduce excessive sebum secretion. In addition, these preparations help in faster skin regeneration. In some cases, antibiotics are prescribed. Especially in the case of severe acne, the patient should undergo an oral treatment:

1. an antibiotic (usually tetracycline, minocycline or erythromycin)
2. birth control pills (they regulate the level of hormones),
3. anti-blackhead drugs,
4. anti-inflammatory preparations,
5. AHA acids (based on almonds, milk or apples) – the type of acid chosen depends on the extent of juvenile acne. They have an excellent effect on discoloration and scars.

For everyday use in acne prone skin, we recommend a Soothing acne lotion that regulates sebum production, soothes irritations and accelerates skin regeneration. Also buy Acne Remover FEEDSKIN Acne Serum, which can be used by vegans.

WARNING! In the treatment of juvenile acne, it is worth getting three very important products: tonic, peeling and cream.

Try Bioherba’s natural cosmetics, which are extremely effective in the fight against skin problems. Reach for:

1. Lifting face serum with bakuchiol and retinol, which you can buy on Medonet Market both separately and in the Anti-Aging Set together with a caring and regenerating cream,
2. Cream for acne-prone skin, which contains hemp oil,
3. Natural tonic for skin with acne and discoloration, containing sage, which helps regulate the secretion of sebum and sebum.

It is also worth drinking herbal infusions with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Try the EKO recommended acne tea available on Medonet Market.

Home remedies against acne

1. Tonic with cucumber – on a grater you need to grate the cucumber and mix it with boiled or mineral water. Then, in the prepared mixture, dip a cotton ball and wash your face with it. Cucumber has soothing properties.

2. Oatmeal mask – put 4-5 tablespoons of oat flakes, 5 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon of milk and 1 tablespoon of honey into the bowl. Then, thoroughly mix all the ingredients together and apply to the desired area of ​​the body when the flakes thicken. Leave the mask on the skin for about ten minutes, and then rinse with lukewarm water.

Back acne should be treated in a similar way to face acne. Recommended are tonics, antibacterial gels and creams with acids.
