I am Yuan Chao, a dermatologist, who has been engaged in cosmetic safety and efficacy evaluation for more than ten years.
It has been more than ten years since we solved the problem for our friends troubled by acne.
I can always hear all kinds of talk-
For example, this is Xiao Zhuang’s classmate, who started to see my clinic in his sophomore year. At that time, her face was full of hard acne. When she entered, she tearfully said to me:
Dr Yuan, my mandibular angle is painful and red. It seems that it is swollen inside, but it can’t get out. What should I do?
After three months of treatment, the sclerotic acne was much better. She continued to ask me:
Dr. Yuan, why can’t my pimples stop? The big ones are few, why are there still many repeated silence and lingering, and there is a way to win them in what?
Now in her senior year, she came with her boyfriend that day. She asked me with a smile:
Dr Yuan, my acne is much better, but I’m going to an interview soon. How can I change my pores and skin quality? This is much more difficult than finding a boyfriend!
In fact, acne friends like Xiao Zhuang still lack understanding of the situation of acne.
Today Dr. Yuan will tell you about acne classification and corresponding treatment methods.
I. Acne [Fetal Period]-Microacne
Microacne, as its name implies, is relatively small acne, so it is called the [fetal period] of acne.
For microacne, it is divided into two groups according to different therapeutic desires:
It doesn’t matter, just don’t deal with it first, just wait for him to grow fat, it is also convenient to deal with.
For the more tangled beautiful girls, they want to be clean, the best way is to choose tartaric acid or salicylic acid, clinically we see that there is indeed a certain effect.
II. Acne [Juvenile]-Acne
Only when you are particularly careful can you see micro-acne. Generally, acne is the beginning of acne, which is manifested as small bulges of skin color.
If acne is not treated, white head will evolve into papules or pustules.
There are also acne that have always been acne. The opening on the white head is opened and oxidized, which will turn into blackheads. However, blackheads can also be advanced and iterated into inflammatory rashes.
If acne is not particularly numerous, external medicine can be preferred, with benzoyl peroxide as the first choice, and even the problem can be solved by using it alone.
However, when the concentration of benzoyl peroxide is too high, it may irritate the skin. Many patients will suffer from transient erythema or desquamation when applying ointment, which can be stopped for a few days before continuing to apply.
Many patients said that I used this water and that lotion and said that I could remove acne, but why are there still more and more acne?
It is emphasized here that skin care products have an important auxiliary effect on improving acne, but if all hope acne is placed on skin care products, you may be disappointed.
For acne, dermatologists also have a sharp weapon-acne needle, which can be selected one by one by skilled operators in regular hospitals.
Three, acne [youth]-papules and pustules
[Pox is not crazy to waste teenagers].
Papules and pustules are the two most common rashes for people with acne. The papules are red, higher than the skin surface and feel a little painful. The pustules have a yellow pus head in the center and a red base.
At this time, the severity of acne is at least moderate or above, which requires the cooperation of oral drugs under the guidance of doctors, and must not be solved by itself.
If the acne of youth acne is not scientifically controlled, it will leave endless harm. Not only may it worsen, become cysts or nodules, but it may also leave countless pockmarks or scars.
IV. Acne [Adult Age]-Nodules and Cysts
A young idler, an old beggar.
If it is not treated before, it will become a rash progressing towards the inner layer of the skin, and the acne level will soar.
Doctors suggest that you will take oral drugs for a longer course of treatment and need to do more cooperative treatments, including red and blue light, photodynamic therapy, etc.
Five, acne [old age]-acne marks and scars
Pox marks and scars have always been difficult points in clinical treatment.
Some pockmarks and scars coexist with pockmarks of other ages (such as acne, papules, pustules, etc.).
In general, the probability of pockmarks and scars is relatively low for patients who have been actively treated before, but there are also patients who will leave pockmarks and scars even after treatment.
