 How To Cure Acne/Pimples From Forming?

Our topic for today is problem for all. All of us want clear and spotless skin. But due to certain reasons we can't acheive it. Acne and pimples are one of the most common reason.

How do acne forms?

Acne is a skin condition occured due to excess oil, clogged pores and bacteria on the skin. We have sebaceous gland under the surface of skin. sebaceous gland release jelly and oil like substance which is called sebum. The function of sebum is to moisturize and protect our skin.

The hair follicles present under the skin routinely shed dead skin cell along with sebum. But when body produces more sebum and dead cells they don't shed, instead they stick together and block tiny pores. This results in skin blemishes.

Types of Acne?

Now depending upon a clogged pore and inflammation acne may appears as Whiteheads, Blackheads, Pimples/pustules and Cysts.

Whiteheads

If clogged pores close to the air, sebum turns to form a white color and appears as whiteheads.

Blackheads

If clogged pores open to the air, sebum get oxidized and turns to form a darker color and appears as blackheads.

Pimples/ Pustules?

If the clogged pores contain pus in them and  are highly inflamed then  we call them pimples or pustules.

Cysts

If the clogged pores are larger, pus-filled and located deeper in the skin then we call them cysts.

How to treat whiteheads and blackheads?

Whiteheads and blackheads also known as closecomedons and opencomedons 

  • Use facewash and other  exfoliating products which contains Benzoyl peroxide, Salicyclic Acid, Adapalene to treat both of them. 

  1. Benzoyl Peroxide :- It is anti-inflammatory, anti-bacteria, it also dissolves into pores and prevent acne breakout in future.
  2. Salicyclic Acid :- It is also known as BHA. It gets into pores and fight with those comedones.
  3. Retinoid:- Also known as adapalene. This works to control skin turn over and helps to normalize skin cell behaviour preventing clogging in the pores and treating closed comedones.

You don't have to use every single ingredient but taking it consistently can cure your whiteheads and blackheads. 

How to treat Cysts and Nodules?

If you have this type of acne then I recommend you to consult near dermatologist because any mistakes can make your acne more problematic and even scare on face. Don't attempt to treat your own cystic acne. If anything you might end up wrong, then causes a lot of irritation and ultimately worsen the acne.

Dermatologist  might offer you treatment like:-
  • They might inject affected area by Corticosteroids, this will help shrink cystic or nodules acne down, reduce inflammation and prevent it to going on scare.
  • They can prescribe course of anti-biotic like tetracycline, minicycline or doxycycline are useful in killing bacteria and they are anti inflammatory (Don't take all of this tablets without consulting dermatologist.)
  • For maintenance they can offer retinoids like tetraline. This will prevent acne and the inflammation.
  • They can also offer blue or red light therapy.
  1. Blue light therapy:- It can reduce the bacteria in the skin.
  2. Red light therapy :- It can reduce the inflammation in the skin.

Tips and Tricks to get rid of acne.

  1. Wash your face gently with lukewarm water.
  2. Don't skip on your moisturizer, moisturizing skin helps to hydrate and nourishing the skin essential for healing acne.
  3. Use oil free moisturizer daily and make sure it has sunscreen in it.
  4. Avoid sun and never go for sunbath or tanning if you have acne.
  5. Stop picking, popping or squeezing your acne because it just causes more irritation, inflammation and increase the chances of scaring.
