”When I opened my mailbox today, there were so many more acne cure ads all of a sudden. Some are hidden, some are open, boasting how amazing and hot the cure for acne is. Instilling what ‘toxins’, ‘endocrine disorders’, ‘complete eradication’, ‘three-dimensional therapy’. The gods are fantastic. I’m afraid that a summer down, and many patients have become injustice.” Two days ago, the director of the Department of Dermatology of Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital, Dr. Pan Weili, sent me such a message. He said that every summer, he always encounters acne patients who are not disfigured, and are 20 to 30-year-old girls and boys. These people are anxious to find a doctor, they suffer not only, but also spent a lot of money, less a few thousand dollars, more than ten thousand dollars. The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the actual website. The first step is to use cosmetics, such as oil control acne cream; if it does not work, then topical hormone cream; then useless, then resort to beauty parlors (do mask, massage, cold spray, pick acne); still no effect, oral medication (to clear heat and detoxify the main); until these have no effect, they will think of going to the regular hospital for treatment. By this time, the situation is often quite serious. There was a young girl in her early twenties who made a particular impression on Director Pan. When she was eighteen or nineteen years old, she began to grow acne. At first, she did not care, as most people do. The more pimples she had, the more she started to use some cosmetics to get rid of them, but the effect was not satisfactory at all. Then, an acquaintance introduced her to an “old doctor”, the “old doctor” in a small alley sitting. After a “look and feel”, she gave her a pile of medicine, but also told her a prescription: do not wash your face for a month. The reason was that washing her face would not only thin the skin’s original protective barrier, but frequent friction would also increase the chances of infection. During that month, she really did not dare to wash her face. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, you’ll want to take a tissue and wipe it gently. A month later, the acne did not fade, but the face began to darken, only to go to the hospital. Director Pan was shocked when he saw her: “She looked like she had just come out of a dirty basement, the whole face was not only black, but also bubbling with oil, and you could not tell whether the black stuff on her face was dirty, or a crust of acne.” The girl’s face acne only slowly faded after a month of treatment in director Pan, but those who do not wash their faces for a long time caused by acne marks can not be eliminated, need photorejuvenation to improve. ”Acne medically known as acne, is a common chronic inflammation of the sebaceous glands, mostly in adolescence. It can be said that 80% of the people have been more or less troubled by acne. The process of acne formation is roughly divided into four steps: high androgenicity in the body, or high sensitivity → non-stop stimulation of the sebaceous glands → abnormal keratinization of the hair follicle openings, resulting in blocked pores and the formation of whiteheads or pimples → infection by Acinetobacter propionicus, a red bump appears, which then gradually evolves into pus and abscess.” Director Pan said that family genetics, excessive mental stress, abuse of cosmetics, too spicy diet, staying up late, irregular work and rest may lead to the imbalance of androgen levels in the body, triggering or exacerbating acne.
