The “wrong food” for me is sugar. I stopped eating sugar, and my life-long issue with acne disappeared.

Yeah, for me too. Cutting down on candy and drinking water, and being outside sometimes is really good for the skin.

You shouldn’t get acne as an adult I think, unless you eat the wrong food
I grow a pretty thick beard. Along with that comes a lot of face oil, which makes it soft and smooth.
When I’m shaved, I still generate all that oil, which makes me break out hellishly.

Hormonal problems can also cause adult acne

Acne is mainly genetic, and only somewhat affected by environmental factors.
Mostly acne stems from people making too mnay oil/hair/skin cells, to the point that then clog pours. Using a quality cleanser will generally help, but mainly its a lottery that you dont have acne.

I have to tell you, I almost never see anyone with acne. Is it common in America?

Not for adults

I have acne on my face right now, I’m 32. I’m not, like, a pepperoni pizza but I had a few break out over the past week.
I don’t drink soda, I eat healthy, I don’t work out as much as I should but I’m not unfit. Acne just happens to some people dude, that’s why Accutane is a very well known product.

Yep makes sense.

I don’t either, but I know people who have had it, and acne is treatable. Is this a(nother) healthcare thing that makes it more common in the US?
Malyca@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Yes.

Wellbutrin gave me crazy, scarring acne when I took it for a week. Idk if its common but several people I knew as kid had acne in high school
