Effective Acne Treatment

Filed under: Health Care — Nancy @ 12:30 am -0700

Acne can be effectively treated, although response may sometimes be slow. Where possible, avoid excessively humid conditions such as a sauna, working in an unventilated kitchen or tropical vacations (but ultraviolet light helps).
Try not to apply irritant oils or cosmetics to the affected skin.
Abrasive skin treatments can aggravate both comedones and inflammatory lesions.
Try not to scratch or pick the spots
No relationship between particular foods and acne has been proven.

For acne remedy with physical treatments
Sunlight is anti-inflammatory and can help briefly. However, exposure to ultraviolet radiation results in ageing skin and can eventually lead to skin cancer.
Cryotherapy (freezing treatment) may be useful to control new nodules.
Intralesional steroid injections can be used to shrink older nodules.
Comedones can be expressed or removed by cautery or diathermy.
Microdermabrasion can help mild acne.
Lasers and other light systems appear helpful for acne. Treatment is often delivered twice weekly for four weeks. The effect may be enhanced by use of a photosensitising agent (photodynamic therapy).
Note: X-ray treatment is no longer recommended for acne as it may cause skin cancer.
