What are the methods of treating acne?

Acne treatment methods can be divided into two main groups:

  • Local treatment – involves the use of skin preparations that have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory or exfoliating effects. The most popular over-the-counter local preparations include:
    • retinoids (azelaic acid, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide)
    • antibiotics (erythromycin, clindamycin)
    • exfoliating agents (glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid)
  • General treatment – involves the use of oral medications that act on the cause of acne, i.e. excessive sebum production and bacterial growth. The most popular general medications used to treat acne include:

In the treatment of acne, it is also important to use proper skin care, which should consist of:

  • Regular face washing – twice a day, with a gentle cleansing preparation designed for acne skin.
  • Using mattifying cosmetics – which help regulate sebum secretion.
  • Avoiding the use of greasy and pore-clogging cosmetics.

In the case of moderate to severe forms of acne, local or general treatment may not be sufficient. In such cases, it may be necessary to use dermatological treatments, such as:

  • Chemical peels – which exfoliate the epidermis and help remove blackheads.
  • Laser therapy – which has a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect.
  • Dermabrasion – which removes calloused epidermis and acne scars.

The choice of acne treatment method depends on individual factors, such as:

  • Severity of acne
  • Age of the patient
  • Presence of other diseases
  • Availability of medications and treatments

Remember to treat acne under the supervision of a dermatologist. He will select the appropriate treatment method and monitor the progress of the treatment.
