Pustular acne can be treated with facial masks, but it is important to choose the right type of mask. Avoid masks that contain hormones and opt for natural, non-irritating ones, which can help care for the skin and alleviate the symptoms of pustular acne. Pustular acne primarily occurs due to excessive sebum production, clogged pores, and infection by Propionibacterium acnes, leading to redness, papules, and pustules on the face. For mild cases of acne, during the comedo phase, treatment with glycolic acid can help reduce comedones. If noticeable papules and pustules appear, oral treatments like minocycline hydrochloride capsules should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
