Dermatologist Zheng Guoliang pointed out that acne, also known as acne, is a complex disease. Like other diseases, the treatment effect varies from person to person. However, most patients can be completely cured. A few patients can only partially control the condition, but with good treatment, most can reduce the severity and avoid scarring.

The method of treating acne depends on the severity of the acne. If it is multiple acne, papules or pustules, external physical therapy products, medicines and oral medications must be used at the same time; if it is more serious, , for example, if the clinical manifestations of acne have reached cysts, special treatment or special drugs must be taken, such as auxiliary light therapy to eliminate the bacteria in the acne, or oral administration of A acid.

However, the burden on the body caused by internal medicine may also deter many women. The current trend of "acne combined therapy" is to use different medical cosmetic treatments to achieve deep cleansing, acne treatment and acne scar improvement at the same time.

Tailor-made anti-acne medication

Traditional anti-acne medication is divided into three categories, one is anti-inflammatory, the other is steroids to control inflammation, and the third is hormones Medication. Commonly used external medications include antibiotic ointments, vitamin A acid, azalea acid, peroxide preparations, etc. Most of these drugs are used for antibacterial, exfoliating acne, making acne dry and peeling, and repairing and healing acne inflammation.

In addition, common medications include anti-inflammatory steroids, which can help reduce the inflammatory reaction of acne and allergic rashes.

If the severity of acne increases to another level, special medication must be used, such as oral contraceptives specifically for women, to reduce the secretion of sebaceous glands by inhibiting male hormones; in addition, the effect is best, but there are The most worrying side effect is oral administration of A acid. It has a good therapeutic effect on very serious acne, but it may cause teratogenesis. If women take it, they must use thorough contraception, otherwise it will easily cause harm to the body.

The new trend of combination therapy for acne

At present, there are generally three directions for the treatment of acne. One is to clean the skin, and the other is to remove the redness and blackness of acne. The other is to remove the pus in the acne, and the combined acne therapy is to deal with the above problems at the same time in one course of treatment.

Combination acne treatments like this are mainly initiated because most patients not only want to solve acne, but are also afraid of leaving acne scars. They also hope to solve acne-related problems in one course of treatment.
