Wondering why you are getting acne after moving to Pune?
Causes of Acne in Pune and surrounding areas explained by a leading Dermatologist, Dr. Mukta Tulpule.
Many of my patients who move to Pune from another area complain about getting acne breakouots.
Why does this Happen? let’s do a deepdive
- STRESS: Moving is a stress and this leads to rise in cortisol hormone which is known to flare acne. Moving also involves handling dusty furniture. Dust is known to harbour Demodex mites which flare up acne and rosacea.
- WATER change: Change in quality of water one is used to also leads to skin changes one of them being acne and pimples
- ENVIRONMENT change: Change in weather conditions like moving from a humid area like Mumbai to Pune also needs time for your skin to adjust to new weather in new city like Pune. Humidity leads to sebaceous gland buildup -leads to oiliness and more pimples
- FOOD: youngsters who move to Pune tend to eat mess food or outside food a lot. This is not necessarily the most nutritious food. Coming from home cooked meals to irregular and no nutritious diet wreaks havoc on the gut. Gut inflammation and leaky gut are known for flares.
- EXPERIMENTING with products: Too much product use or creams and serum purchased online and used without direction can also cause problems.
- LACK OF SLEEP: Students preparing for UPSC and MPSC living and studying Karvenagar area often complain of long study hours and lack of sleep. this again increases cortisol.
- LACK of EXERCISE: Many students are busy in their exam preparations and don’t get time to exercise. This leads to weight gain and a flare in acne due to Hormone irregularity specially in women
