Acne is largely related to the vigorous secretion of one's own sebaceous glands, consumption of spicy and stimulating food, or frequent staying up late; this condition tends to recur frequently. It is essential to avoid spicy and irritating foods and not to stay up late. The most common treatment currently is still the combination of oral medications and topical applications, such as oral doxycycline enteric capsules, traditional Chinese medicine Jinhua Xiaocuwan pills, topical fusidic acid ointment, and tretinoin erythromycin gel. If possible, one can also consider hospital treatments like red and blue light therapy or glycolic acid skin peeling. The most important thing for this condition is to regulate one's diet and lifestyle habits to effectively prevent recurrence and achieve good preventative results. (Take medication under the guidance of a doctor)

How to remove acne scar bumps

Acne is somewhat related to the vigorous secretion of one's own sebaceous glands. During the treatment process, most people either treat improperly or frequently pick and squeeze their acne, which can lead to scars that are troublesome to treat if broken. If the scar proliferation is not too pronounced and relatively flat, one can visit a reputable hospital's dermatology department for fractional laser treatment. If the scar proliferation is more obvious and raised, medical interventions at a hospital may be necessary, typically involving two to three injections. This can generally soften, flatten, and shrink the scar slightly, but it is impossible to completely remove it. This condition is also somewhat related to individual constitution. During treatment, one should maintain proper dietary and lifestyle habits. During the acne treatment period, try not to pick, squeeze, or scratch the acne to prevent scars from forming.

The causes of acne on the face.

The causes of acne development on the face stem from various factors, including oily skin type, poor diet, and lifestyle habits, as well as abnormal keratinization of the epithelium of the follicular sebaceous gland ducts combined with inflammatory reactions, and more, which can form inflammatory changes. These manifest as inflammatory papules, pustules, nodules, cysts, and so on. In everyday life, it is recommended to avoid spicy, stimulating, and high-calorie foods, and provide anti-inflammatory treatment to improve abnormal keratinization and other symptomatic treatments. Medications such as Tanshinone IIA sulfonate capsules, Doxycycline Hydrochloride Capsules, Vitamin B6 tablets, Antishutong tablets, and Nicotinamide tablets can be taken orally. Topical treatments like Clindamycin Phosphate Gel can be applied to affected skin areas. (Medication use should be under the guidance of a physician.)

Can acne be completely cured?

Acne is related to the excessive secretion of one's own sebaceous glands, the consumption of spicy and stimulating food, or frequently staying up late. In principle, it is not easy to completely eradicate, especially for adolescent patients, due to their age-related increased sebaceous gland secretion, who are also prone to regularly staying up late, encountering stress, anxiety, or tension. Therefore, for most cases, the condition can only be temporarily controlled or alleviated, with no way of achieving complete eradication. However, for older individuals aged thirty or even over forty, thorough eradication can be achieved through appropriate treatment and by regulating their dietary and lifestyle habits. The key is still to receive formal medical treatment at legitimate medical institutions and to regulate one's diet and lifestyle habits; otherwise, it will be difficult to eradicate the condition in the long term.

Can hypertrophic acne scars be treated?

Acne, during its onset and treatment period, due to non-standard treatments or severe cases, coupled with some patients liking to pick or squeeze them, might lead to hypertrophic scarring later. Once hypertrophic scars form, they are not easy to treat, especially if they are very prominent, they generally cannot be completely cured. If the symptoms are mild, fractional laser treatment can be used, but the ultimate repair effectiveness is uncertain. If the prominence is especially noticeable, one can go to a dermatology department in a regular hospital for localized drug blockade treatment, but this only improves the symptoms and cannot eradicate the condition completely. Therefore, it is essential to follow standard treatment protocols during the onset of acne to prevent the formation of hypertrophic scars.

Why does acne recur repeatedly?

Acne is a disease caused by overactive sebaceous glands and infection of the skin surface with Propionibacterium acnes. The most common symptoms are the appearance of red papules on the face, which are quite painful, and some directly develop pus heads. Although this disease can be completely cured through formal treatment, it has a high recurrence rate, and the main factor of recurrence is related to one's age group, especially during adolescence and in patients with hormonal imbalances. During the treatment period, it is necessary to avoid spicy and irritating foods for a long time, try not to stay up late, avoid anxiety and tension, and refrain from misusing cosmetics, especially greasy products that can clog pores. After recovery, it is advisable to wash the face with cold or cool water, and avoid using hot water.
