TUBAN– Hormonal problems can trigger acne in adulthood. This potential generally has a greater chance of occurring in women.
“Because the logic is like this, if we are past adolescence, we are adults, we should no longer have acne. “If you still have acne, it’s probably hormonal acne,” said skin and genital specialist Riris Asti Respati, quoted from Antara.
He explained that hormone-induced acne can occur in adult women aged 25 to 30 years. The trigger is due to imbalanced body hormones.
Hormonal imbalance could be related to the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a disease when the ovum or egg cells in women do not develop normally due to hormonal imbalance.
“Usually hormonal acne grows specifically in the lower facial area, from the cheeks down,” said Riris.
The dermatologist said there are many risk factors or triggers for PCOS in women. Starting from unhealthy eating patterns, such as consuming too much sweet food or drinks, to being overweight.
Apart from affecting hormones, Riris said that sweet foods and drinks are the main triggers that cause all types of acne.
Apart from acne, there are other symptoms of PCOS. These include irregular menstrual cycles, excessive facial or body hair growth, male pattern baldness, warts on the neck and armpits, weight gain around the stomach, and pelvic pain.
“If you still have acne as an adult, maybe you should try to get checked for possible hormonal disorders and see a doctor because hormonal acne medication is different from regular acne,” said the doctor who graduated from the University of Indonesia.
Riris also remembers that PCOS is a metabolic disorder. Symptoms can be overcome by making lifestyle changes.
Diet and exercise are the keys to successful treatment and long-term health maintenance.(ds)
