Acne (Pimple) Treatment

Treatment for Acne

The best treatments inhibit sebum production, limit bacterial growth or encourage shedding of skin cells to unclog pores. Because many therapies can have side effects, any patient with acne should proceed with caution when trying a new treatment. People with severe, persistent cases of acne may need the care of a dermatologist (a skin specialist).

The treatment of acne scars involves various procedures aimed at making the affected skin even. Superficial scars can be treated with peels, microdermabrasion and subscission. The treatments make you look more bright & glowing.

Non-prescription treatment for acne

Soap and water. Gentle cleansing of the face with soap and water no more than twice a day can remove the excess oils and help the "oily skin" often associated with acne. However, this does not clear up acne that is already present. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, which can injure the skin and cause other skin problems.

Cleansers. There are many cleansers and soaps advertised for treating acne. However, these are unnecessary if the acne is being properly treated and can in fact aggravate acne.
