About the treatment of different stages of acne

Acne is a skin problem that most people will experience. Because of its damage to the body, it affects appearance, and it also brings a lot of trouble to many beauty lovers. It usually occurs on the face, chest, back, and other parts where the sebaceous glands secrete vigorously. Due to the fast pace of life and irregular daily routines, this kind of skin problem often occurs. How do prevent and treat acne more effectively? This article will introduce you to several useful methods to treat and prevent acne. Come see it with me below. Of course, the way we treat acne is also different at different times.

There are two causes of acne at different times:

① For adolescent acne: The age of onset of adolescent acne patients is between 13 and 24 years old. In addition to acne and papules, pustules and nodules may also appear in the skin lesions. Occurs on the cheeks and forehead. The incidence of acne in adolescence is high, about 80% of adolescents have the disease. Adolescents with oily skin are more likely to suffer from this disease than those with dry skin. Affected by the fluctuation of endogenous hormones, acne can be aggravated during menstruation. In addition, bad habits such as staying up late can lead to excess androgen secretion, which is also one of the causes of acne. The diet is partial to sweets, spicy, and greasy, which can aggravate the Stimulation of the sebaceous glands and leads to aggravation of acne. In addition, frequent use of cosmetics will affect the normal function of the skin, thus causing this disease. A survey found that the occurrence of acne is also related to the season. In summer, the temperature is higher, the sebaceous glands are exuberant, and oily skin and combination oily skin are more prone to acne.

②Post - pubertal acne: Post-pubertal acne refers to patients aged ≥ 25 years, and can be divided into three types:

① Delayed acne: The patient suffers from acne for the first time after the age of 25.

② Persistent acne: The patient's acne continued from puberty to 25 years old.

③ Acne recurrence: The patient's acne has been cured in adolescence, and it recurred in adulthood. Most of the skin lesions in postpubertal acne patients occur on the lower face, including inflammatory lesions in the mandibular and perioral regions. All types of acne lesions can appear during this period.

Post-adolescent acne is affected by hormonal disorders, unfavorable diets, poor living habits, and the use of cosmetics. Patients with post-adolescent acne are often resistant to antibiotics and other drugs, and the etiology and pathogenesis are more complicated.

 
On treatment:

In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the problems of the internal organs and six fu-organs will also appear on the face, so we can take the method of "internal use and external use" in treatment. So that acne can be fundamentally treated.

 External use: When common acne grows, pay attention to avoid irritation and pollution. You can use normal saline to disinfect local acne, and then use Longterm Medical Acne Plaster, which can protect acne and reduce the chance of infection, and Acne Plaster uses The hydrocolloid dressing can absorb a small amount of pus in the acne for acne with white tips, and it can speed up the healing of the acne that has ruptured. It is very convenient to use.

Oral administration: Professor Min Zhongsheng emphasizes nourishing the liver and kidney, detoxifying and removing blood stasis in the treatment of late-onset post-adolescent acne. He uses Eclipta, raspberry, Hedyotis diffusa, Salvia miltiorrhiza, orange leaves, dandelion, and other drugs, and the therapeutic effect is remarkable. According to the "Yu Nai Acne" theory in the "Nei Jing", it is necessary to pay attention to the long course of treatment of acne in late adolescence. If you blindly use cold and cool things, it can damage the spleen yang, and even stagnate the yang qi, which will lead to the recurrence of the disease, and the lingering will not heal. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the yang qi of the patient, and not use bitter and cold medicine too much. Skin oil secretion accelerates skin blood circulation and metabolism, improve skin repair function, etc. so as to play the role of anti-P. acnes.
