What to do if you have severe acne

Acne is generally referred to as acne. The seriousness of acne is considered to be related to factors such as elevated androgen levels, keratinization of cells around hair follicles, and Propionibacterium acnes infection, which can be improved through oral medication, topical medication, and physical methods.
1. Elevated androgen level: related to staying up late for a long time, emotional depression or being in puberty, elevated androgen level in the body will cause sebaceous glands to secrete vigorously, resulting in severe acne. You can cooperate with your doctor to take spironolactone, finasteride and other medications, which can inhibit the effect of androgens.
2. Keratinization of the cells around the hair follicles: If the opening of the hair follicle becomes small or blocked, the sebum cannot be discharged, which will lead to severe acne. Topical application of medications such as retinoic acid cream and tazarotene gel can dissolve the local keratin, thus relieving acne symptoms.
3. Propionibacterium acnes infection: Not paying attention to local hygiene can lead to the proliferation of Propionibacterium acnes to stimulate the pores, leading to serious acne. You can go to a regular hospital for red and blue light irradiation treatment, which can destroy Propionibacterium acnes and reduce the local inflammatory reaction.
It is recommended that acne patients go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital, choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor, and follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication, not blindly self-medication, so as not to cause adverse reactions.
