The Treatment Of Acne
The treatment of acne is complex, as the causes initiators may be multiple, that is, that the etiology is multifactorial. But despite the complexity of the theme of acne, whatever the factor that produces or the sector affected skin, we must take into account the comply with a “golden rule” for the treatment of acne elected is successful.
1) Hygienic Measures:
• Do Not handle the skin to try to extract “the barrito”: The pressure is exerted with fingers thumb and index of one hand, or what is worse using fingers of both hands to make more strength, can cause the breakage of the follicle sebaceum, which contains germs, and may spread the infection causing dermatitis in neighboring areas. That is why, does not have to wonder the emergence of small blisters filled with pus, (pustules), which are feared, because leave scars irreversible. Powder twice a day the affected skin of the face, torso and any affected area. Generally indicated the water and the soap (preferably a product dermatological with action anti) and then dried completely once cleared the area.
2) Change dietary: Reducing the food they tend to cause skin reactions in young people. The food should be prohibited are: the chocolate and strawberries, but it should be noted that as we said earlier, the food is only one of the factors that interacts with other.
3) Products cosmetics: Do not use any product of cosmetology containing not on its packaging the legend “indicated for skins acneic or seborrheic”, since in certain cosmetic creams there are certain fat components that can affect the production of more areas of acne.
4) Take as a principle, not to use cosmetics so-called “normal” those who by the use and customs are advised between the friends and relatives.
5) Treating acne specific:
The multi in acne and the role that have the hormonal changes during puberty, become difficult any attempt therapeutic to choose the dermatologist doctor, since that whatever, the improvement is seen through time. Many times happens that when one starts a treatment antiacneico, at the beginning the patient feels that aggravated their dermopatía, that is why this situation should be warned by the professional trafficker to avoid the desertion of the patient, especially when it comes to a teenager.
The products that apply to these cures have to develop at least three functions:
1. Function Facial: similar to that have a “peeling” moderate function (also called “keratolitic” average), thanks to which the conduit through which would have to move the fat drawn up by the gland is free of obstruction and has departure. This activity produces a slight skin irritation. This observation is very important, as it has been found that most of the products used for treating acne, have an effect revulsivo and produce a action irritativa of the epidermis, the professionals that the prescribed should warn their patients on the undesirable effects collateral. The components more effective, outside the treatment that can prescribe the dermatologist, are as follows:
• Sulfur and/or salicylic acid
• Azelaic acid, a more moderate concentrations
• Benzoyl peroxide, a more moderate concentrations
• Glycolic acid, a more moderate concentrations
• Microgranules exfoliating that are part of cleaning fluids
2. Function anti: also called tallow-regulator or sebostática, with which it seeks to reduce the sebaceous secretion excessive that characterizes the skins youth acneic. There are various components moderately effective, among whom we can cite:
• Sulfur (currently less used that before)
• Azelaic acid
• Sulphate or zinc acetate
• Extract of Arctium Majus or Nasturtium officinalis
• Benzoyl peroxide to moderate doses
• Microparticles porous capable of absorbing the fat more fluid, with what is reduced the brightness of the skin
3. Antimicrobial Function: to reduce the microorganisms that proliferate and fill the follicle acneico. Are used on all the following components:
• Benzoyl peroxide to moderate doses
• Triclosan
• Azelaic acid, a moderate concentration
• Ethyl lactate
• Moderate exposure, and only occasionally, the sun, because radiation are antimicrobial drugs.
But ATTENTION: a prolonged exposure for hours or repeated on successive days has the danger that the surface of the skin fattening by the fact of accumulate keratins, and that they block the follicles sebaceous and worsen the process of acne.
Observation
The components mentioned above can be identified in the products – Fórmulas Magistrales and in the specialty pharmaceutical advertising. During the past years, the products more generally used incorporated benzoyl peroxide or azelaic acid, they develop remedial functions simultaneously, but NOT ALL patients REACT POSITIVELY TO THE DIFFERENCES TYPES OF TREATMENT OF ACNE.
Counseling
If despite treatment, the acne-like situation does not make, but that is intensified so obvious, is essential to visit the dermatologist. Only this professional would prescribe drugs to make a treatment with querolíticos more aggressive, with anti-inflammatory, with antibiotics or hormones, the choice of which requires a good diagnosis and a follow-up to monitor any potential harmful effects.
