Small pimples on the face of a 13-year-old boy are considered to be acne, and specific treatments include general treatment, topical medication, phototherapy, and adjuvant therapy.
1. General treatment: acne can be related to excessive sebum secretion. You can use appropriate cleansing products to remove excess oil, bacteria and dander from the epidermis, avoid excessive washing, pay attention to oil control and moisturizing after washing, apply mild moisturizing products, and avoid scratching and squeezing the pimples by hand, and avoid staying up late at night.
2. Topical medication: You can use topical medication such as retinoic acid cream, azelaic acid cream, selenium disulfide lotion or fusidic acid cream, etc., which can effectively control the lesion manifestations.
3. Phototherapy: For mild and moderate acne, inflammatory papules and pustules, LED blue light or red light irradiation can be used.
4. Adjunctive treatment: After local disinfection, an acne squeezer should be used to squeeze out the contents; chemical exfoliators such as salicylic acid and fruit acid can also be used for adjunctive treatment.
