Common problems with acne: Three acne treatment misunderstandings you should pay attention to

Today I will bring you three common problems of acne. If you don’t know yet, please take the time to review these problems with me.

Common Acne Problems

The incidence of acne is very high. For many patients, the disease will not affect their normal work and study, so many people tend to ignore the harmfulness of the disease, and many patients have misunderstandings in the process of treating the disease.

1. Acne is not a disease and it will get better naturally after puberty. To be precise, acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease involving the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles, which is common in young men and women aged 15 to 30. Statistics show that only 12% of acne patients will heal themselves without leaving any marks. Most acne will not heal naturally, but will leave pigmentation and scars. It not only affects the appearance, but also causes unnecessary psychological burden, affecting normal study, work, love and life, so early and active treatment is required.

2. Oily skin is prone to acne. Washing your face frequently can remove oil and dirt. Compared with dry skin, oily skin is indeed more prone to acne, but this is not absolute. Proper maintenance and prevention can effectively avoid acne. Oil secretion is also a protective mechanism for the face. Washing your face frequently will disrupt the oil balance on the skin surface, causing more oil secretion, making the skin oilier and the pores larger. It is best to wash your face with warm water twice a day, morning and evening, which can promote the excretion of sebum from the body.

3. Squeeze out the substances inside the acne, and the acne will heal faster. It is very unscientific to squeeze acne with your hands. On the one hand, the bacteria on your hands can easily infect the local skin of the lesion and aggravate the inflammation. On the other hand, improper squeezing will cause the contents of the acne to spread locally and expand the scope of inflammation. Frequent squeezing of acne can easily aggravate pigmentation and scars.
