Women Smokers More Likely To Have Non-inflammatory Acne
Non-inflammatory acne means your face will have blocked pores, large white heads and small cysts - if you are a woman and you smoke you run a much greater risk of developing this type of acne, say researchers from the San Gallicano Dermatological Institute, Rome, Italy.
You can read about this in the British Journal of Dermatology.
The scientists carried out a study involving 1,000 women. They found that 42% of women who smoke have non-inflammatory acne, while non-smoking women run a 10% chance. The researchers stress that the link is not certain, as other factors may be involved. However, it is well possible non-inflammatory acne might be another hazard for smokers.
