Acne is so prevalent a problem among youngsters, and to some extent among adult population as well, in its various forms, and thanks to the Internet knowledge on any topic is so easily available that it sees like a wonder that someone would actually wonder as to what causes acne. Most of the people would agree with me that the causes of acne are rooted in growth hormones. That is why many teenagers are afflicted with acne. The reason why all teenagers are not affected is probably explained by genetics. Acne mechanica is caused by continual physical abuse of the skin like tight shoulder straps or rough inner wear constantly rubbing against the skin. Adult acne too is caused by genes or sometimes like all acne, by stress, too much exposure to harsh climate, lack of proper sleep, or even as an allergic reaction to oily, spicy junk food.
Even as facial acne is the most prevalent form of acne, back acne is also not so rare. Although the causes of back acne are much the same, too much exposure to sunshine that causes perspiration cause back acne. However, the problem of back acne is unique because of its awkward position. Reaching the back to apply something that soothes the skin becomes difficult. Also the fact that the back is covered most of the time adds to the severity of the problem, But a person is saved from the embarrassment felt by someone suffering from facial acne.
That brings us to acne physical effects. The physical effects of acne are usually only skin deep as acne is essentially a skin problem. At the most, in its severest form, acne cyst or acne rosacea, the eruptions are pretty big in size, swelled up, reddish, pus-filled, and cause much irritation, itching and pain. It is not less by any standards, but cannot be worse than that. However, much more serious are the effects they have on person’s self-esteem and social image. That raises an alarm for acne to be treated seriously and effectively.
