What is acne? How should it be treated?

  After puberty, hormone levels in the body change and androgen levels increase, resulting in the secretion of sebaceous glands and chronic inflammation of the hair follicle sebaceous glands due to a combination of factors.  Today, as the pace of life accelerates and the pressure of study and work increases, many teenagers suffer from acne. Due to a lack of awareness of acne treatment and improper and untimely treatment, it is difficult to get rid of the red marks and concave scars on the originally beautiful face. This affects the health of teenagers, who are reluctant to show their faces in public and use their hair to cover them up, affecting their confidence in seeking employment and social situations.  Nowadays, there are many ways to treat acne, but it is very difficult to find one that is really effective and long-lasting. The reason for this is that there is a single method and few means of treatment, so it is difficult to achieve the desired treatment effect.  For example, beauty salons: generally only external treatment, what they do is to drain the mature acne first, then give you a topical cream or cosmetics, and finally in the mask. However, they ignore the fact that in addition to external factors such as bacteria and follicle pore blockage, the main thing is an external manifestation of internal imbalance, such as many people will have poor gastrointestinal function, constipation, menstrual disorders, insomnia, stress, good fire and a series of endocrine disorders, these are not simply external treatment can be solved. Therefore, internal regulation is particularly important, which is precisely what ordinary beauty salons simply cannot do. Regarding red marks and concave scars, there is nothing you can do in a beauty salon.  Hospital: Over the years, we have summed up a whole series of integrated special effects treatment methods for acne, using the high-tech technology of modern photodynamics and the concept of combining Chinese and Western medicine to treat acne sufferers in a holistic and systematic manner. For each patient’s different situation, we select targeted methods such as local clearing treatment with ultrasonic therapy instrument, blood pricking and cupping, internal adjustment with Chinese herbs, local anti-inflammation, photodynamic killing of propionibacterium in the deeper layers of the skin, removal of acne marks with intense pulsed light therapy instrument imported from the United States, and pacification of acne pits with beam laser. We provide comprehensive and systematic treatment for all stages of acne, acne marks, and acne pits. Nearly a decade of clinical practice has shown that many patients have achieved complete eradication within a short period of time.  Clinical manifestations of acne: 1. Age and location of acne: The onset of acne begins in adolescence and occurs on the face, front and back of the body where the sebaceous glands are well developed, often symmetrically distributed.  2. Acne vulgaris: There are two types of acne: whiteheads and blackheads. Whitehead acne, also known as closed acne, is a skin-colored papule with an inconspicuous opening, and it is not easy to squeeze out the lipid plugs; blackhead acne, also known as open acne, is located at the top of the follicle opening and can be squeezed out, called hard lipid plugs.  3.Papular acne: Acne inflammation can continue to develop and expand and deepen, manifesting as inflammatory papules and blackheads acne is called papular acne.  4, pustular acne: pustules and inflammatory papules are the main manifestations of pustular acne.  5.Cystic acne: The performance of sebaceous cysts of varying sizes containing thick pus with blood, which can form sinus tracts and scarring after rupture is called cystic acne.  6.Nodular acne: After the mis-treatment of pustular acne, it can develop into nodules with thick walls, varying in size, located under the skin or above the skin surface, light red or dark red, with a hard texture, called nodular acne, also known as hard nodular acne.  7.Atrophic acne: Papular or pustular acne that destroys glands and forms pit-like atrophic scarring is called atrophic acne.  8, Convergent acne: Several acne nodules are gathered and fused in the deep, with redness and color bruising, known as fused acne or convergent acne.  Common misconceptions include: 1. Acne can fade on its own without treatment Acne does have a certain self-limiting nature, as shown by the fact that the disease has a certain age of onset and natural course. The high-risk period for most people is adolescence, after which it gradually remits and fades on its own. However, treatment is still needed because: (1) Acne often leads to the formation of facial scars, which can vary in appearance, from depressed to hyperplastic, and are difficult to treat and can last a lifetime, affecting beauty and aesthetics. Early, timely and regular treatment can not only significantly shorten the course of the disease but also prevent the formation of scars.  (2) The onset of acne is not necessarily at the age of puberty, but rather after the age of 30. In many cases, the course of the disease lasts for a very long time, such as after the age of 40. A regular full course of treatment can usually eliminate acne in six months to a year.  2, acne is not curable and should wait until after marriage to subside on its own This is a misconception very similar to the one above. In fact, acne is a skin disease that can be cured, and most people can not only be cured but also not recur, but must have a regular treatment and a long enough treatment course. Otherwise acne will recur and reoccur, giving you the illusion that it cannot be cured. Since acne in some people exhibits a more obvious self-limiting nature, with onset in adolescence and subsequent gradual improvement and fading with age, but people usually marry naturally at this time, giving you the illusion that your acne will be cured after you get married. The improvement of acne is not at all related to whether or not you have had sexual experiences. Do not think that if you get married or if you have sexual intercourse, your acne will naturally improve.
