Blackheads are a type of acne, also known as blackhead pimples also known as open pimples, mainly due to oxidized follicular sebaceous plugs, which can be treated by general treatment, topical medication, systemic medication and other measures.
1. General treatment: use water or suitable cleansing products to remove excess oil, flakes, and bacterial mixtures on the skin surface, but pay attention to avoid excessive cleaning, pay attention to oil control and moisturizing, avoid scratching and squeezing, keep bowel movement smooth, and avoid staying up all night.
2. Topical medication: anti-acne medication such as retinoic acid ointment and adapalene gel can be used externally, and antibiotic ointment such as fusidic acid ointment and erythromycin ointment can be used for those who are infected.
3. Systemic medication: Oral isotretinoin can regulate the keratinization of the sebaceous gland ducts of the hair follicles, improve the anaerobic environment of the hair follicles, and inhibit the secretion of sebaceous gland lipids. If accompanied by obvious inflammatory papules, nodules or even pustules, oral tetracycline drugs, such as minocycline and doxycycline can be taken.
It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination first, and the drugs need to be used under the guidance of the doctor.
