Acne appears red and swollen, generally refers to the inflammatory papules in acne and other manifestations, can be eliminated through general treatment, medication, phototherapy and other methods.
1. General treatment: first of all, we suggest that patients try to avoid staying up all night and eat a light diet. Because often stay up late or eat spicy stimulants may lead to oil secretion, which makes acne inflammation aggravated.
2. Medication: patients can use antibiotic ointment, such as mupirocin ointment, fusidic acid cream, etc. under the guidance of the doctor. Benzoyl peroxide can also be used externally under the guidance of the doctor to improve. Oral medications such as isotretinoin and doxycycline can be taken if necessary. The above drugs should be used according to the doctor’s instructions.
3. Phototherapy: such as red and blue light irradiation, can kill Propionibacterium acnes, relieve the inflammatory reaction, promote the acne subside.
For patients with red and swollen acne, it is recommended to go to regular hospitals for timely examination and standardized treatment under the guidance of professional doctors.
