Acne – What Can You Do? How to Relieve and Treat Acne Properly

Acne is a treatable condition. The treatment approach depends on the severity of the skin condition and whether the primary cause is inflammation, excessive sebum production, or blockage of the sebaceous glands.

Both external and internal treatment options are available for managing acne.

 

EXTERNAL TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR ACNE

 

Antibiotic creams, gels, or solutions are often used for external treatment, aiming to reduce inflammation and prevent the further spread of acne.

For mild forms of acne, antiseptic cleansing and skincare products are often sufficient. Active ingredients that suppress excessive sebum production and dry out specific areas of the skin can help prevent the formation of blackheads and bacterial colonization. Common anti-inflammatory agents include benzoyl peroxide and azelaic acid.

Zinc may also inhibit bacterial growth on the skin and reduce inflammation; however, its effectiveness in external applications has not been sufficiently proven. Products containing salicylic acid can be used to soften skin calluses, while fruit acid peels can help alleviate acne by regularly removing callused skin.

In severe cases of acne, peeling agents like benzoyl peroxide are often not sufficient. In such instances, vitamin A acid (retinoids) is used as an alternative. For more advanced forms of acne, dermatologists frequently prescribe ointments or solutions containing antibiotics such as erythromycin, clindamycin, or tetracycline.

If topical treatments prove ineffective, oral antibiotics may be prescribed to address the condition internally and provide more comprehensive relief.

INTERNAL TREATMENT OF ACNE

 

For patients with severe acne, external treatments may not be sufficient. In such cases, doctors may prescribe antibiotics to alleviate symptoms, often resulting in significant improvements in the skin’s appearance within a few weeks. However, antibiotics can disrupt the intestinal flora and reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, such as the pill.

As an alternative, retinoids like isotretinoin may be prescribed for longer-term use. Isotretinoin is considered the most effective treatment for severe acne. However, it poses risks to fetal development, making it essential for women to avoid pregnancy during treatment. For women of childbearing age, retinoids are often combined with hormonal contraceptives to ensure safety.
