Acne and its treatment
Acne is a menace. However, it's not something that cannot be
tackled. There are loads of acne skin care products around. We
can classify acne skin care products into 3 broad categories -
1. Preventive or general acne skin care products 2.
Over-the-counter, specialised acne skin care products 3.
On-prescription acne skin care products.
The general acne skin care products are the ones that are used
as acne-prevention measure. These include cleansers, make-up
removers and similar products that help prevent acne. In the
real sense, these acne skin care products are just those that
should anyway be part of your daily routine. However, some of
these are more oriented to act like an acne skin care product.
These acne skin care products act against the causes of acne
e.g. limiting the production of sebum/oil and preventing
clogging of skin pores. Basically, these acne skin care products
prevent the oil from getting trapped in pores and hence hamper
the growth of bacteria that lead to acne. The general acne skin
care products also include exfoliation products like skin peels.
These work towards removing dead skin cells, hence reducing the
possibility of pore-clogging and bacteria development.
Then there are specialised acne skin care products that are
available over-the-counter i.e. without the need of a
prescription. These include products like vanishing creams which
extract the extra oil from the skin. Most of these acne skin
care products are based on benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid,
both of which are the enemies of bacteria (and hence acne). You
should
start with a product that has lower concentration of
benzoyl peroxide (e.g. 5%) and see how your skin responds to it.
Alpha-hydroxy-acid based moisturizers are also popular as acne
skin care products. You might have to try a few, before you
zero-in on the acne skin care product that is effective for you.
If nothing seems to work, you should contact a dermatologist.
On-prescription acne skin care products are the ones that are
prescribed by a dermatologist. This can include ointments that
can be applied on the affected area or oral antibiotics or just
any topical treatment. Dermatologist could also suggest a minor
surgical procedure to remove the contents of pustules. However,
never try to squeeze or do this by yourself, it can lead to
permanent damage of your skin. Your doctor could also prescribe
a hormone-based treatment (since hormonal changes are also known
to cause acne). Such acne skin care products are known to be
very effective in some cases. So, with all those acne skin care
products, tackling acne is not that difficult.
