HOW TO TREAT ACNES

LET WE SEE ACNE TREATMENT BY TYPES OF ACNE

1. COMEDONAL ACNE
 
Step 1

Wash your face with a mild cleanser no more than twice a day. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, too frequent washing can irritate sensitive skin and cause additional breakouts. Use lukewarm water and gently rub the cleanser on your face with your fingertips in the morning and at night. Also, rinse skin with a mild cleanser after exercising to remove bacteria and sweat.

Step 2

Apply an over-the-counter topical cream to the comedones. Use an ointment or cream that contains salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide for best results. Wait about 15 minutes after washing or showering to apply the medication because wet skin is more absorbent and can be more easily irritated

Step 3

Use sunscreen and cosmetics that are oil-free. Hair gel and other hair products also should be oil-free to avoid clogged pores. Look for products that are labeled as noncomedogenic or nonacnegenic to make sure they are designed for acne-prone skin.

Step 4

Consult with a dermatologist if your acne doesn't respond to over-the-counter treatments. According to the Mayo Clinic, a number of prescribed medications are available to reduce comedones and their unsightly appearance. Products that prevent clogged pores include those made with vitamin A derivatives such as tretinoin and tazarotene.

Step 5

Wear hairstyles that keep your hair off your face, especially if you have oily hair. Wear hats and scarves that sit loosely on your head to prevent clogged pores.

Tips and Warnings

• Mild to moderate acne usually clears up within four to eight weeks following a proper treatment regimen. Be patient as you continue with the process, and then continue the cleaning and treatments to prevent additional breakouts.
• Don't pop or squeeze comedones because you can cause an infection. Open acne sores can lead to permanent scarring. The American Academy of Dermatology cautions that popping blackheads and whiteheads can cause your acne to spread. Don't touch your face. Habitual touching transfers more dirt and oil to your face and can cause additional breakouts, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Things You'll Need

• Gentle cleanser
• OTC cream
• Oil-free sunscreen and cosmetics
• Prescription cream    

2.PAPULES ACNE :

Warning

Although most dermatologists do not recommend squeezing acne bumps of any kind, papules are one type of acne in which it will do little good to squeeze or pop. In fact, doing so could cause irreversible scarring. Because the papules are the result of inflammation, these often is little pus or sebum inside the papules, making it off little use to pop. Instead, applying a warm compress to the face may help to reduce papules.

Daily Regimen

The treatment of papules begins with a good daily skincare regimen, all with a goal of reducing inflammation. This means washing the face twice daily with a mild face wash and applying a topical agent to help reduce acne, such as 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide or a salicylic acid gel. Applying a daily sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) higher than 15 also may help to reduce the chances for inflammation.

Prescription Solutions

Additional prescription medications may be recommended by a dermatologist for the treatment of papules. Especially beneficial are topical antibiotics, such as clindamycin or erthromycin, both of which kill bacteria in order to reduce inflammation. Additional treatments include retinoids--such as Retin-A, Differin or Tazorac--which are helpful in reducing inflammatory acne. It also is possible to take antibiotics in pill form--such as doxycycline, minocycline or tetracycline.

Time Frame

Acne papules may take several months of treatment in order to completely subside. This is especially true for those utilizing antibiotic medications as the medications may cause initial breakouts, then the skin clears as a result. Acne papule treatment takes time in order to see success; staying committed to treatment applications or medications is vital to your success.

 3.PUSTULES ACNE

Identification

Pustules are the most prominent type of acne on your face. According to the Acne website, pustules are red bumps that have centers, or heads, that are either yellow or white in color. These differ from acne papules, which do not have heads. Although pustules may seem intimidating to treat, the Acne website explains that they are actually a mild to moderate type of acne, a group known as acne vulgaris.

Home Remedies

According to Acne Skin Guide, there are home remedies, sans chemicals, that may help treat pustular acne. Eat aloe vera regularly to help prevent pustules. Drink unlimited quantities of ginger juice to reap its anti-inflammatory benefits. Acne Skin Guide claims that the most effective home remedy for pustular acne is applying tea tree oil after you wash your face. Use caution, as tea tree oil can cause allergies.

Medications

In addition to washing your face twice a day, consider an over-the-counter topical acne spot treatment. Look for one which contains benzoyl peroxide to help dry up pustules. Products which contain salicylic acid are also effective in absorbing the excess oils that can lead to the formation of pustular acne. When using these products, be sure that you only cover up the postules. Acne Skin Guide explains that using these medications on unaffected skin can lead to irritation.

Prescriptions

Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic to treat pustular acne if over-the-counter medications fail. Examples include Erythromycin and Clindamycin, according to Acne Skin Remedy. Antibiotics are usually a temporary solution. A dermatologist may also prescribe a retinoid treatment.

Surgery

Although pustular acne is generally mild, persistent or recurring acne pustules may be considered severe. Acne Skin Remedy advises that you seek surgery if all other methods of pustular acne treatment fail. During surgery, the pustules are removed. See a dermatologist to help you make this decision.

Prevention

Acne Skin Guide recommends that you cut out junk food from your diet in order to prevent pustular acne. Although junk food does not directly cause acne, healthy foods can promote clear skin. Adopt other healthy habits, such as regular exercise and adequate sleep. If a new pustule forms, resist the urge to pop it. The bacteria can instantly spread and clog other forms, forming new pustules.

4.Maculae

 Macules are known as pseudo-scars; as final stage of a acne lesions, they can persist 6 months, but when it disappears, no trace on it will remain. A popular treatment for macules is regular exfoliation, which can speed up macules healing.

Another treatment for macules caused by acne is to use whitening products. These products can suppress melanin production in the post inflammatory pigmented area. Imbalance in melanin production (melanin is essential to protect skin from the sun effects) can be solved using the appropriate treatment for maculae caused by acne. Whitening products can fade away post inflammatory pigmentation; they are not the right answer to heal acne. The root of the problem is dehydratation. Many whitening products can lighten macules after they occur; the patient must solve the moisture imbalance.

Dermatologists' advice is to obtain first a right balance between oil and moisture in skin, and then fade away the acne scars and macules. If the right balance is not established, the patient will go into a periodically cycle, and the need of treatment for macules caused by acne will be always actual. When the balance is established, the damage can be repair. Post inflammatory pigmentation or macules can be fading away using peel-off masks and scrubs to exfoliate the skin cells already dead and sebum in excess.

It takes long to heal macules or scars, the patients must be carefully following the treatments to avoid the permanent scars. As there are no overnight healings, the patients must not pop acne. Improvements take time; it is also important to eat a well balanced diet and choose an oil-free sunscreen and remember that any acne and scars treatments work by preventing new more painful acne.

5.Nodules

Zinc Supplements

zinc supplements as a natural treatment for acne due to zinc's ability to boost the immune system and provide anti-inflammatory properties. Both properties are essential in treating severe acne nodules. The Vitamin Nutrition Center also notes that zinc is an antioxidant that helps to fight free radicals, aids in healing tissues to help to prevent scarring and aids in regulating oil gland function.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is an anti-bacterial. Applied topically, this will help to fight the bacteria causing the infection deep within the pore. The Mayo Clinic reports tea tree oil has been proved in studies to be as effective as its chemical counterpart benzoyl peroxide. Combining zinc supplements to fight acne from the inside while applying tea tree oil on the skin provide a great acne-fighting combination.

Antioxidants

Most antioxidants help to boost the immune system and manage the skin's ability to repair and renew itself. They also help the skin to fight free radicals, which are known to cause acne and worse. According to the Vitamin & Nutrition Center, only 15 percent of Americans eat the appropriate amount of fruits and vegetables that are high in antioxidants. Vitamin A, B-1, C, E and zinc are all antioxidants essential to the skin's health. A vitamin A deficiency can cause acne. Vitamin E enhances tissue healing and has long been used as a topical treatment to help prevent and heal acne scars.

Don't Pick

The best home remedy anyone can do for acne, especially severe nodules, is to not pick at them. Attempting to pop a nodule will only result in further irritation and pain. It can cause the infection to worsen, and it will most likely result in damage to the skin leaving a large, deep scar. Keeping hands away in general is recommended as the hands contain their own oils and if not clean, dirt. 

6.Cysts

• Antibiotics — Antibiotics can be prescribed by doctors in order to treat the infections caused by cystic acne. The downside of these medications is that these only treat the present problem and will not actually be able to keep you protected from experlendng the problem again in the future.

• Retinoids — Retinoids are a type of medication that encourage the growth of new cells while at the same time preventing old cells from keratinizing. These are usually applied topically and may come in cream, gel, or lotion form. Examples of retinoids Include tretinoin, tazarotene, and adapalene. Some forms of retinolds can be taken orally.

When taking retinoids as part of your nodular acne treatment be sure to follow your dermatologist’s instructions carefully, as it is possible to experience adverse reactions when taking the medication. Some side effects include dryness of the eyes, lips, and mouth, hair loss, Joint and musde pain, and serum lipid changes. This cystic acne treatment should not be used by pregnant women, as retinoids can cause birth defects.
