Re: Adult Acne
Stress could well be a factor. He's just had 4 days off because of the Easter bank holiday and his spots have cleared up quite a lot! That said, he also sat out in the sun with me on Friday afternoon, so the sun might have helped. It's also been over a week since he stopped drinking beer (it was getting to almost every night and could be as many as 4 cans), and started just having a small glass of red wine when he fancies a drink. So it's hard to pinpoint just one factor.
His diet is pretty good. He eats a lot of seafood and loves salmon, which I usually serve with potatoes and veg. I make him chicken pasta once a week and always chop up a head of fresh broccoli. I eat everything with either a side salad or miso soup, and this is a habit he's started to copy. He snacks on grapes while he's at his desk and will usually eat the entire bunch unless I separate them and hid half in the fridge (he's not a fridge raider). He also takes a multivitamin.. it's one specifically formulated for healthy skin and hair. So I don't think his diet is the issue. Also, we work out together every 2 days; to the Amy Child's workout (why did I just admit that? ^^), and he also walks to and from work, which is a little over 30 minutes one way, so he's walking for an hour a day. Neither of us drives, so walking is an unavoidable part of daily life for us.
He hates his job though, and he is very distressed about the condition of his skin, so it could be stress. The strange thing though, is that this is ONLY on his face. Acne typically affects the chest and back too. It certainly did when I suffered with it! That's why someone at work suggested that it might be rosacea. It does look very similar.
