From what I understand about my breakouts, I may be having hormonal issues that contribute to the blemishes. I have done a little research, and I have found that hormones can create havoc on a person’s complexion.

I do notice that the breakouts occur when I am under great stress. I thought that the acne was hives at first then I remember high school and it all comes flooding back to me.

My doctor suggested that I consider using a weak birth control pill to address the blemish problem. I was very surprised by this adult acne treatment and I’m still considering this option. The birth control pill can cause weight gain and I would rather have extra pimples than extra pounds. The extra pounds tend to stay with me longer.

Another possible culprit in this breakout dilemma is bacteria. I am also surprised by this. My doctor suggested that I lay off the anti bacterial soaps for awhile. I thought that the anti bacterial agents in the soap would kill the pimple-causing bacteria on my face. However, this adult acne treatment was actually causing breakouts because I was killing the good bacteria that keep bad pimple producing bacteria at bay.

Sometimes a simple approach is the best approach. I will continue to seek out a good adult acne treatment, but for now I am going back to using a gentle cleanser. After washing I will use Benzoyl Peroxide, which was also suggested by my doctor. Finally, I will take an adult acne treatment approach and add a good moisturizer. After all, wrinkles stay longer than pimples, too.
