How big do boys' acne grow?

Men also hate acne because it causes great damage to their skin and is painful. Generally, acne starts to appear at around 12 years old and stops at 25 years old. You also need to pay attention to your skin hygiene and take measures to clean oil and grease.

This varies from person to person, but most people get acne in their teens. Some people start getting acne at the age of 12 or 13, and stop getting acne around the age of 25.

Acne, also known as acne, is closely related to factors such as excessive sebum secretion, blockage of the ducts of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands, bacterial infection and inflammatory reactions. After entering puberty, the level of androgens, especially testosterone, in the human body rises rapidly, promoting the development of sebaceous glands and producing a large amount of sebum. At the same time, abnormal keratinization of the ducts of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands causes blockage of the ducts, obstruction of sebum discharge, and the formation of keratin plugs, i.e. micro-acne. Various microorganisms, especially Propionibacterium acnes, multiply in the hair follicles. The lipase produced by Propionibacterium acnes decomposes sebum to produce free fatty acids, while promoting inflammatory cells and mediators, ultimately inducing and aggravating inflammatory reactions.

Solutions

1. Pay attention to endocrine balance: Endocrine is the main factor affecting sebum secretion. Exuberant endocrine will stimulate sebum secretion.

If it cannot be discharged smoothly, it will block the hair follicles, creating the prerequisite for the occurrence of acne.

2. Use cosmetics correctly: People who are prone to acne should wear light makeup and remove heavy makeup as soon as possible.

3. Exfoliate regularly: Use a mild exfoliating cream once a week to remove thick, aging cuticles.

4. Keep your skin clean: pay attention to personal hygiene, wash your face 2 to 3 times a day, and use a mild soap-free cleanser.

Notes

Drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and keep your bowel movements smooth.

Temperature and humidity will affect the secretion of sebum. When the skin temperature rises, the amount of sebum increases and the excretion is vigorous. When the skin surface is moist, sebum is easy to emulsify and diffuse; when the skin is dry, the secretion and diffusion of sebum will become slow.

Drug stimulation: Certain drugs, such as oral contraceptives, weight loss drugs, menstrual drugs, or drugs containing bromide or iodide, can stimulate endocrine imbalance or cause toxin accumulation to form so-called "toxic acne".

Food allergies can also cause acne. Some acne with unknown causes and difficult to cure are actually caused by food allergies, among which dairy products and eggs are the most common.
