And if we once thought that we had pimples until the age of 20, now it is usual to have acne even up to the age of 40.
Unfortunately, pimples on the face are one of the most annoying dermatological problems because they are visible to everyone and give us confidence in what is presented.
Acne is a chronic, inflammatory condition of the skin with pimples and pimples, especially on the face, shoulders, back, neck, chest and upper arms.
Acne is the most common of all skin conditions. It is a situation that creates blocked resources. Pimples affect most teenagers and many adults. They occur most often on the face, but also appear on the back, neck, shoulders and chest.
Pimples are a disorder of the sebaceous glands. They usually start when hormone levels rise (especially in adolescents), these glands become overstimulated and so extra sebum is produced. This excess material, along with other factors, causes blockage in the gland and forms the basis of the sticky material commonly found in closed and open cavities.
This blockage can also lead to bacterial overgrowth. This is the basis for the red, inflammatory lesions that are common in severe cases of acne.
Almost all of us have experienced or know someone who has experienced the psychological effects of acne. Studies have concluded that some of the common emotions between people with pimples are: social withdrawal, low self-esteem, embarrassment, feelings of depression, anger, irritability.
In addition, because acne can cause permanent scarring, these effects can last a lifetime. It is important to remember, however, that no one needs to suffer from pimples. It is an extremely treatable condition that dermatologists are trained to help manage and control.
Acne lesions are divided into inflammatory and non-inflammatory
Patience is required on the part of the patient, since in most cases it takes at least two months for the results of the local treatment to be seen.
Topical treatment at Aboutskin dermatology clinic is not only the use of creams but also the application of special treatment protocols with anti-inflammatory peels, phototherapy and cleansing.
We also need to determine the patient’s predisposition to scarring. Patients with a predisposition to scarring need timely topical and oral medication as well as scarring treatments.
Gentle washing helps treat the disease. In many cases, some mild medication is helpful..
Our dermatologist will prescribe factors that cause controlled exfoliation of the skin. These agents are administered either alone or in combination with a medicament. When the skin is properly prepared, it is cleansed.
Many patients experience pustules, papules, and blisters at the same time. Our dermatologist will give us the appropriate medication in combination with facial cleansing and peelings and other anti-inflammatory treatments.
As in all the above cases the diagnosis is made by a dermatologist because acne is a rather persistent dermatological problem. In the case of nodular cystic acne medication is necessary and of course very effective for the treatment of pimples. And in this case the treatment is additionally supported by peels and facial cleansing.
Long-term acne with mild clinical manifestations occurs in people over 25 years of age. The so-called adult acne has increased in percentage in recent years. Hormonal factors, stress, diet, smoking play their role in this.
In these cases we treat with topical medications, but also antioxidant vitamin creams depending on age.
