Acne is a dermatological problem that affects people of all ages around the world. Knowing how to diagnose and treat acne effectively is essential to maintaining healthy skin and positive self-esteem.
Dr. Laura Garzona, dermatology specialist at Clínica Bíblica, shares valuable information on acne diagnosis and treatment to help better understand this common problem and how to properly address it.
Acne can present itself in various forms, from comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) to pustules and cysts. A dermatologist can determine the type of acne you have and its severity.
It can be caused by a combination of factors, including excessive oil production, clogged pores, bacterial growth and inflammation. Identifying the underlying causes is critical to proper treatment.
If acne is persistent or severe, it is advisable to consult a specialist dermatologist. The medical professional will perform a thorough evaluation of the skin and medical history to determine the best therapeutic approach.
We share with you the skin care:
- Skin Care: A good skin care routine is essential. Wash your face gently twice a day and use products appropriate for your skin type. Avoid over-cleansing, as it can worsen acne.
- Topical medications: Topical medications can help clear pores and reduce inflammation.
- Oral Medications: In more complex cases, a dermatologist may recommend oral medications, such as antibiotics, to control acne.
- Medical Procedures: For stubborn acne, there are medical procedures such as laser therapy, chemical peels or comedone extractions that can be effective.
- Lifestyle and Nutrition: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet can also help control acne. Avoid stress, excessive sun and eat a balanced diet.
It is important to remember that acne treatment can take time and require patience. Each person is unique, so what works for one may not be effective for another. Seeing a dermatologist is the first step toward healthier skin.
