The new review showed that prevalence in 2021 was highest in Germany, where almost 15.98% of teenagers and young adults were diagnosed.
Researchers said rates of acne had been on the rise in all countries, except New Zealand.
“Our research didn’t look at why this is, but it could be linked to lifestyle factors like diet, stress, obesity rates, increased exposure to pollution from urbanisation, or simply a greater likelihood of seeking treatment.
“It is plausible that, as healthcare becomes more accessible in countries, reported acne rates increase. This is unlikely to be the only factor though, as even in countries with good access to healthcare, cases have increased.
I blame Brexit. Having proof that your parent’s generation are gullible idiots cannot be good for anyone’s skin health.
In that case wouldn’t Brexit be just a second symptom of a common cause?
I had bad acne issues as a teen. If I would give one simple advice to myself then I would say “just go to the doctor and get the tetracycline already. You don’t have to live with it no matter if you are bullied or your parents give you alternative remedies. Just go to a doctor and it will get better!”
The worst part of acne was that it bought severe depression, and not necessarily the kind that is easy to recognize as a teen.
I don’t know why DIM doesn’t get recommended by doctors! Should I put my tinfoil hat on?
What’s DIM ? It’s not mentioned in the article
diindolylmethane

It’s a supplement being hawked to help with hormonal acne. I make no claims, just wanted to know what it was for myself.
Not only that, it helps with prostates swelling that comes from the production of DHT in a lot of males, like myself. Which causes baldness, too. DIM is a miracle from whatever god is up there. I used to piss every five minutes until I started using DIM. Life is back to normal.
You had me at “used to piss every 5 minutes” you glorious bastard.
Lol. I hope that you don’t have that issue, too. If you do, then this is your savior. It’ll normalize. It was fucking miserable.
It’s not that bad, and usually only when drinking a lot of coffee. The urgency is what kills me. Like not a thing, nothing and then from nowhere: YOU MUST GO NOW.
It kind of
malesmakes sense. Coffee is a diuretic. You’d know the issue from how many times you have to use the bathroom at night. Once of twice is normal. More than that and you have an issue.
