The causes of acne in adolescents are generally believed to be related to the increased secretion of androgens in the body. The increased androgens cause the sebaceous glands to hypertrophy and the cortex to secrete too much, which accumulates in the hair follicles and forms sebaceous plugs, resulting in sebaceous secretions that are not easily discharged and the formation of acne. In an anaerobic environment, the acne bacteria in the hair follicles multiply and produce lipolytic enzymes, which break down the triglycerides in the sebum and produce free fatty acids, stimulating inflammation in the hair follicles, damage to the hair follicle walls, and sebum overflow into the dermis, causing inflammation around the hair follicles to form acne. If acne is not treated, it can easily leave pigmentation or scarring, affecting the patient’s appearance and causing greater psychological pressure on the patient.

Some women hear that birth control pills can treat acne, so they rely on them for a long time to “fight acne”. The estrogen contained in birth control pills can counteract androgens to achieve a certain therapeutic effect, but if you rely on estrogen-containing birth control pills to treat acne for a long time, the adverse effects are greater, and may even disrupt women’s endocrine secretion. Generally speaking, for patients with mild to moderate acne, attention to diet control is sufficient and medication is not necessary. For acne in the acute inflammatory stage, you can take some antibiotic drugs or herbal medicines to suppress and regulate acne under the guidance of a doctor. Clean skin and proper skin care: To keep the skin clean, often wash the affected area with warm water and sulfur soap or antibacterial soap, especially in summer when there is more oil secretion, wash your face often and take out the hair follicle bacteria and sebaceous secretions in time to open the hair follicle opening.

The most common is the topical preparation of retinoic acid ointment, whose main component is all-trans retinoic acid, which can dissolve keratin and regulate the abnormal process of keratinization on the sebaceous glands of hair follicles to prevent and eliminate acne. Because retinoic acid ointment has a stimulating effect on the skin, if it is applied to the skin surface during the day, it will easily produce pigmentation under the sunlight, so it is usually chosen to be used at night. Should be under the guidance of a doctor or suspend the use of drugs. There are also some people who use “small prescriptions”, such as erythromycin cream for acne, etc. The use of topical antibiotics for acne is not only less effective, but also easy to make the skin resistant to drugs, so it is generally not recommended.
