Suffering from acne is quite annoying, due to all the aesthetic problems it causes to the skin. If you are a person with these problems, the ideal is to consult a dermatologist. That way, you can get the right treatment for yourself. However, if you cannot afford it, there are other options. Here we will tell you about personal care for acne.

How to prevent acne breakouts?

If at any time in your life you’ve suffered from acne, you probably already know how quickly it spreads over the body. In certain cases, it occurs due to the physiology and hormonal changes of the person with the skin problem. It can also happen due to diet, greasy products, sweat, and humidity in the environment.

However, lack of attention to personal skin care is the general cause of this problem. It’s essential to have good daily habits, with a positive routine for your dermis. Otherwise, acne problems will become more serious. To prevent clogged pores on your face, you should take care of your skin daily.

• Cleanses the skin with mild soap.
• Remove all dirt or makeup from your face with salicylic or benzoyl acid.
• Wash your face once or twice a day, especially if you play sports or exercise.
• Do not touch your face repeatedly, and less the area with acne.
• Do not use oil-based cosmetics.

Control a severe case of acne

Having a good skincare routine is not enough. Especially if you already suffered from acne before, since it may be too late. When daily care does not reduce or eliminate these skin problems, you can try some type of acne medication. These have the following characteristics.

• They use benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, salicylic acid, or resorcinol.
• They help kill bacteria on the skin while drying out oils.
• Produce secondary effects, such as irritation and redness.

If a skin medication has negative effects, consult a professional. Do it as quickly as possible before the problem gets worse.

Medical treatments

A dermatologist should treat severe cases of acne or other skin problems. The use of medications without prior consultation can cause your condition to worsen. For that reason, you should go to a professional to receive personalized treatment from the beginning. In most cases, medical care consists of the following.

• Application of antibiotics in the form of creams or tablets.
• Lotions containing retinoids to reduce the intensity of acne.
• Isotretinoin pills.
• Photodynamic therapy.
• Dermabrasion of the affected dermis, with the use of chemicals.
• In women, hormone pills can work to combat this skin problem.

Treatments may vary depending on the dermatologist or the patient's case. Some are more serious than others, while certain medications are more effective on certain skin types.
