Acne may be caused by elevated androgens in the body, exuberant sebum secretion, Propionibacterium acnes and other factors that cause acne leading to acne, which can be treated with general treatment, medication and so on.
1. General treatment: In daily life, use warm water or mild cleanser to clean the skin, avoid squeezing pimples with hands to prevent infection, control the intake of sugar and dairy foods, and avoid staying up late to maintain sufficient rest time.
2. Medication:
(1) Topical medication: If mild acne is mild and there is no obvious inflammation or infection, you can apply topical medication such as retinoic acid cream, adapalene gel, tazarotene gel. For inflammatory acne, benzoyl peroxide gel can be used, and for Propionibacterium acnes infection, antibacterial drugs such as clindamycin gel, erythromycin ointment and fusidic acid cream can be used.
(2) Oral medication: For patients with moderate or severe acne with obvious infections, oral medication can be combined. Tetracyclines such as minocycline and doxycycline are preferred for moderate acne, and isotretinoin can be taken orally for patients with severe acne.
It is recommended to consult a dermatologist in a hospital for acne, and if you need to use medication, you should use it under the guidance of a doctor, and should not use medication on your own to avoid aggravating your condition.
