Introduction:Acne is an inflammatory disease of the sebaceous follicles of the skin, Common to adolescence for some it carries on into adulthood. These skin types are often hereditary. Often predisposed to androgen-oestrogen imbalances, vitamin deficiency, diet, attention to bacterial overload. Overall, those prone to acne will need to investigate a number of possible causes where areas are unbalanced. The most simple would be to clear the skin of 'debris' and therefore alleviate oily skin residues mixing with a dirty blood stream. Candida, adrenal exhaustion, and low thyroid conditions can also be a cause of acne, especially acne that persists late into adult life. |
