Acne leaving red raised soft lumps is usually a symptom of keloidal acne, which needs to go to the hospital in time, and the treatments mainly include medication, laser treatment, chemical peeling, and surgical treatment.
1. Medication: Keloidal acne can be treated with topical medication such as Mucopolysaccharide Polysulfate Cream and Allantoin Sodium Heparin Gel, which have the effect of removing scarring.
2. Laser treatment: It is divided into peeling laser and non-peeling laser, and further divided into fractional laser and non-fractional laser. Exfoliative laser can effectively stimulate the production of collagen, with remarkable therapeutic effect, but with obvious side effects and long recovery time. Non-exfoliative laser has less side effects, but low efficacy and requires multiple treatments.
3. Chemical peeling: chemical peeling induces skin tissue regeneration by peeling and removing diseased skin. The peeling agent is divided into superficial and medium-depth peeling agent. Superficial peeling agent only destroys the epidermis, which is suitable for mild acne scars; medium-depth peeling agent can reach or pass through the papillary layer of the dermis, which is suitable for atrophic scars with deeper skin lesions.
4. Surgery: dermatotomy loosens the connective tissue adhesions between the epidermis and the lower dermis through cutting, improves tissue fibrosis, and the formation of hemorrhages and clots helps to elevate the skin, which is more effective for deeper atrophic acne scarring and milling-type scarring.
