What causes repeated acne? Daily treatment of acne-prone skin

What causes recurring acne? For those who don’t know yet, come with me to analyze the reasons why acne recurs.

What causes recurring acne?

Acne, commonly known as pimples, is the most common chronic inflammatory disfiguring skin disease occurring in the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles. The incidence rate is generally higher during adolescence, but in recent years there has been an increasing trend of people suffering from acne after the age of 25. The number of acne patients we face is increasing, and the problems are also increasing. So when I am seeing patients, in addition to asking them how to treat acne, the most common question I hear from patients is: Why does my acne keep coming back? Why do my acne keep coming back and forth? Can acne be cured?

Why does acne recur?

1. From a subjective perspective, there are several reasons why acne can never be driven away:

1. No dietary restrictions, eat whatever you want;

2. Staying up late for a long time leads to disordered work and rest;

3. Excessive cleansing, thinking that exfoliation is necessary when there is too much oil, which results in thinning of the stratum corneum, damage to the skin barrier, and induces acne and

A range of other skin problems;

4. Having unrealistic expectations for the efficacy of treatment, excessively demanding a quick cure in the short term, and trying all kinds of folk remedies, which only have the opposite effect and the condition gets worse.

Acne recurs frequently, annoying

The recurring attacks of acne (pimples) bring great inconvenience to the patient's appearance, psychology, study, work and daily life. Some people feel inferior because of the pimples on their faces, are unwilling to communicate with others, are unhappy and depressed all day long, and some people even have thoughts of suicide. Although acne is a very common disease, it is not easy to treat. Therefore, early standardized treatment is very important. Don’t blindly search on Baidu or follow the trend. Other people’s effective prescriptions or medicines may not be effective for you. It is recommended that patients choose formal guided treatment.

Daily care for acne-prone skin

1. Local cleaning: Wash your face with warm water every morning and evening, use an amino acid cleanser or cleansing foam with strong cleaning power. Do not over-clean and avoid using strongly alkaline soaps. Frequent use of rough soaps will aggravate acne.

2. Avoid putting pressure on acne lesions, such as tight hats or bandages;

3. Avoid squeezing or scratching acne with your hands. Squeezing can cause the inflammation to spread, prolong healing, and increase the chance of scar formation.

4. If the topical medication is highly irritating and the skin becomes dry and peeling after use, you can apply a medical moisturizer that does not contain oil or fragrance before applying the topical medication;

5. Use skin care products correctly. It is recommended to choose appropriate skin care products according to skin characteristics:

It is best to choose toiletries that have oil-control, moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and other acne-preventing and treatment functions; for acne accompanied by sensitivity: it is advisable to choose the soothing series (oily skin): soothing, oil-control, moisturizing. Acne without sensitivity: It is advisable to choose the acne-clearing series (oily skin): oil control and moisturizing. Avoid using cosmetics that may cause acne, such as oils, powders (such as powder puffs), foundation, BB cream, and ointments and creams containing glucocorticoid ingredients.

6. If the medication used contains photosensitizing antibiotics or retinoic acid, you should avoid light, wear a hat, sunglasses, use a parasol, and apply sunscreen during the day.

7. Find allergens and avoid allergic substances.
