When talking about skin care, the number one issue that always comes up is the problem with acne. Many people think that acne is only an issue with teenagers and adolescents, but studies show that even those past the adolescence stage can have major problems with acne due to many factors such as hygiene, environment, eating habits and genes. Acne can be caused by so many things that it would be impossible for people of all ages not to have it. Although what most people don't know is that there are a lot of different types or kind of acne, more than ten classifications if I'm not mistaken and they are classified by age, cause, genes, gender, geography and race. For example, there is Adult acne, which can be caused by a diverse range of factors, such as hormonal imbalances, pollutants, elements related to stress and responses to medications of different kinds. On the other hand, there is also Acne Neonatorium is also commonly known as baby acne.

... related to the kind of cosmetics you may have used which perhaps did not agree with your skin. In this kind of acne, your skin and pores have reacted adversely to various ingredients contained in your cosmetics. And as it is possible to have acne die to a cosmetic reaction, there is also Acne Medicametosa occurs as a side effect of some medications. These include oral contraceptives, as well as other drugs that contain potassium iodide, potassium bromide and chlorine. As for the race and geography factor, you have Acne Keloidalis, which is generally found among people of African stock. Most of the eruption in this kind of acne is concentrated around the neck. For the gene factory, there is Acne Congoblata, which is normally caused by hereditary factors. This kind of acne causes severe scarring on the face and back. Worse still, there is not very much that you can do about it. And for gender, you have Acne Fulminans, a rather serious form of acne, in which the eruption is accompanied by fever and body ache. This kind of acne mainly affects males and erupts suddenly. Other symptoms of this kind of acne include a high white blood cell count, as well as loss of appetite and deep scarring. These are only some examples of the different classifications of acne.

Generally, different acne classifications, would entail different treatment methods and skin regimen. But if what you have is a severe form of acne, and you've tried almost any other treatment, one drug that has been tested and proven to prevent, if not stop acne altogether is Roaccutane. It is an ant-acne drug treatment mostly prescribed by doctors dealing with patients that are suffering from severe acne and has tried most other treatments with no success at all. It that has been successful in dealing with severe acne although its success has been somewhat shadowed by some grim reports and stories of some of its possible side effects which may included mental and emotional problems that may even lead to suicide. So always be careful, as with any other drug, Roaccutane may do wonders for you and your skin if taken correctly and with doctor's strictest advise, but if abused and used in the wrong way, it may also bring about serious mental, physical and emotional issues that may even be harder to deal with than your acne problem.
