Acne Treatment

Acne are most commonly referred to the red spots on our skin, generally on face, back or on arms, which occurs quite occasionally in puberty periods of the teenagers. Scientifically these red spots occur because the oil from the glands tend to combine with whatever dead cells there might be present on the skin, causing a blockade on the hair pores and preventing them from growing. So there starts existence a hole, which eventually fills up with skin oil, or gland oil. This hole, especially when filled with skin oil, is a really fertile position for malicious bacteria to grow. Apropos, as the malicious bacteria grow, it requires more space. So it starts pushing the hair that hasn’t been able to grow because of the blockade, further in, to the centre of its pore. Following such action, the hair causes inflammation of the skin, which the folk call the red spots. It is not wrong in fact, since inflammation causes our skin to defensively react to whatever provokes it, there happens red area, and when these happen in the pores, they are generally seen as red points.

In order to treat this, surface antibiotics are preferred. These surface antibiotics can be in forms of lotions, liquids or maybe even solvable solids. Lotions are most commonly used medicines for face acnes, and solvable solids are used for most other parts of the body. All these have one thing in common that they all aim to either slow the growth of the malicious bacteria residing in the acne hole, completely preventing it from growing, or, even that this might be painful and not even applicable for higher levels of infection, removal of the bacteria completely. Petroleum Peroxide is used for removal of the bacteria causing the acne. When these medical treatments are applied, it takes approximately two to three weeks for the infection to be completely purified. Moreover, these treatments must be applied constantly and with required care otherwise they would be useless; as they do not completely prevent production of skin oil in your cells, only slows its process. Which means, there are still a source that constantly feeds the acne, however much weaker. If the treatment is somehow interrupted, the acne which is being fed can replenish itself or even continue growing.

In some acne treatment medicines, salicylic acid is used. This does not let the skin dry too much and loose particles of it over time due to lack of moisture. However, it does not have any effect on removal of the acne itself. Just removes the harmful effect of whatever might be used to remove the acne, since all of them would aim for not letting the skin produce oil as much as it did before. Again, in order to keep a clean face, an acne free face one needs to use this salicylic acid constantly without interruption. If usage ceased, the acnes will be visible again. And this, for sure, for someone who has been trying this hard to prevent acnes, means problem.
