There are two things in the world that cannot be hidden, cough and love.
Excuse me, it seems that there is another thing that cannot be hidden: acne that cannot be covered with 10 layers of foundation.
Acne is commonly known as acne, which affects about 90% of teenagers and adults.
Some people improved around the age of 25, while others continued into adulthood and even caused permanent scars.
What should I do to cure acne?
Know why acne grows first.
How did so many acne appear on the once slippery face?
The main reasons cannot be separated from the following aspects:
Oil, blockage and inflammation
1. Oil
When the activity of hormones (hormones) in the body changes, the secretion of oil will become vigorous, which will easily lead to the formation of acne.
For example, after puberty, the development of adrenal gland and gonad will lead to an increase in androgen, which will then lead to hypertrophy of sebaceous gland and secretion of a large amount of sebum, thus … there will be [acne].
Not only puberty, but also girls are prone to acne during their physiological period and pregnancy, which is similar.
2. Blocking
Abnormal keratinization of hair follicle sebaceous gland duct leads to duct blockage and obstruction of sebum discharge.
At first, only microacne was formed, which can only be found under a microscope.
Later, it [evolved] into acne visible to the naked eye.
- When sebum accumulates under the skin, the pores are white, which is closed acne at this time. When the hair follicle mouth expands, sebum begins to expose, blocking pores and forming blackheads, also known as open acne. It probably looks like this:
3. Inflammation
Once inflammatory reaction occurs, acne will embark on the road of deterioration.
The person behind this is Propionibacterium acnes.
This is a normal bacterium that resides on the skin and everyone has it. However, the environment with plenty of oil and blocked hair follicles provides it with good reproduction conditions, and bacterial infection follows.
After a series of inflammatory reactions, inflammatory papules, pustules and even nodular cysts are formed.
There are also some other acne-causing factors, such as heredity, smoking, etc.
Don’t do these three things
Growing acne is not too terrible, what is terrible is that growing acne also [abuses] it. For example-
Step 1 Squeeze acne
According to incomplete guesses, 8 of the 10 people with acne like to squeeze acne with cheap hands.
Frequent acne squeezing will cause damage to the skin, lead to the spread of inflammation and easily leave acne marks.
If you cannot bear it, you will change your ugliness.
Acne is not impossible to squeeze, but professional doctors must help you squeeze it.
Step 2 Excessive Cleaning
Some people think that acne means a lot of grease and dust on their faces, so they always get up to wash their faces.
In fact, washing your face 2-3 times a day is enough.
Excessive cleaning will lead to dry and sensitive skin. If scrubbing is too hard, it will also stimulate skin and aggravate inflammation.
STEP 3 Let it go
When dealing with acne, there are also people who adopt [cold violence] methods:
Isn’t it just a pimple? Naturally, when you get older, you will disappear.
It is said that acne cannot be picked, so I will not move it and will leave me when it has figured it out.
Don’t be naive.
Review again: Micro acne will become acne, and if inflamed, it will also become papules, nodules and cysts.
Acne is a disease and must be treated as early as possible.
Use reliable methods to treat
Neither the [acne-removing products] on the market nor the [acne-removing secret recipe] circulated on the Internet can achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects.
Blindly superstitious advertising will only waste money and delay treatment at the same time.
The most reliable way is to consult a professional dermatologist as early as possible.
In hospitals, there are mainly three methods to treat acne: external medicine, oral medicine and physical and chemical treatment.
-
External drugs mainly include tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide and external antibiotics.
-
Oral drugs mainly include oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics and oral contraceptives.
-
Common methods of physical chemotherapy include tartaric acid, salicylic acid, red and blue light and photodynamic.
The doctor will make the specific treatment plan according to each person’s different situation.
The severity of acne is the main basis.
In addition, some drugs have taboos, such as not recommending to use them alone, and strict contraception is required during treatment and for 3 months after drug withdrawal. Doctors must make plans after understanding the individual situation.
Symptoms of some diseases are easily confused with acne, such as rose acne and millet papules, which also need to be judged by professional doctors.
