The goal of acne treatment is to get rid of existing lesions and prevent the formation of new ones.
Most acne treatment resolve existing acne lesions and, with continuous use, discourage new ones from forming.
Acne is treated by interfering with the way acne develops.
Given the way acne occurs, acne treatments do one or more of the following :
Reduce sebum production
Reduce P. acnes
Normalize the shedding of skin cells
Sometimes, two or more acne products are used to treat different acne causes.
2. Gently wash your face twice a day with a mild soap and pat dry. Vigorous washing and scrubbing can irritate your skin and make acne worse. It will not clear up acne on its own--the acne needs to be treated with appropriate acne products.
3. Use "noncomedogenic" cosmetics and toiletries.
4. Avoid things that can aggravate your acne, such as oils, airborne grease, irritating clothing or sporting equipment, and so on.
5. Give the acne products enough time to do their job. Ask a dermatologist or pharmacist for more information about how long a particular product needs before the acne begins to clear up.
6. Some acne treatment products can increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight and ultraviolet light from tanning booths.
Use protective clothing and sunscreens and avoid tanning booths (which are probably good ideas in any case).
Remember, see a dermatologist if you are not satisfied with the results you get from your acne treatment.
1. Do not pop, squeeze or pick at acne. This can make acne worse by spreading inflammation. Comedones should be removed only by an experienced health professional. With appropriate treatment, acne should go away without squeezing.
