Closed mouth acne is a type of acne, also called closed acne. If the symptoms are mild, there is a possibility that they will subside on their own. If symptoms are pronounced, medication is also given, or treatment through surgery.
The main manifestation of closed acne is pimples, which tend to have white heads, hence the name whiteheads. Closed acne is caused by the exuberant secretion of sebaceous glands and the blockage of follicle openings. Patients are advised to eat a light diet, increase water intake, and have a regular routine. Closed acne with mild symptoms may subside on its own, and the time needed is usually longer.
If closed acne does not go away for a long time, medication, such as topical retinoic acid ointment, which has the effect of fighting follicular keratinization, and oral tanshinone, vitamin B6, and vitamin B complex to reduce sebum secretion, can help improve the patient’s symptoms.
Closed acne, such as bacterial infection caused by swelling, pain or fluctuating pain, if necessary, go to the hospital dermatology department, can be surgically incised to drain out the pus inside, and postoperative anti-infection treatment. Medications should be used under medical supervision.
