I was very happy to attend Papulex Media Workshop and Beauty Class two weeks ago. Papulex also invited dr. Tina Wardhani Wisesa, SpKK as one of the speakers. Dr. Tina explained that everyone may experience acne at young age (ages 9 to 18) until adulthood (ages 30 to 40).
Without further ado, let’s see what I’ve learned from the event.
What causes acne? Acne could be caused by the following:
Of course you can also read our Skincare 101 article on acne for more information.
Usually, we find acne on our face, shoulder, upper chest and upper back. But, dr. Tina told us there are other cases when she found acne on the neck, upper arm and this is the most surprising one for me, on the butt.
Acne is not just the red one which pops like a volcano. Blackheads and whiteheads (beruntusan) are also considered acne. So if someone says “I don’t have acne” but has blackheads or whiteheads, you’re not free yet, my friend.
