Fend Acne Aff

Theres one simple and cheap way to keep acne at bay keep the skin surface clean. Wash your face twice a day or every time its dirty with pH balance soap. Besides neutral pH make sure theres a non comedogenic label on every skin product that you use. Scrubbing is not recommended when acne is still invading because it will only worsen the condition when skin is in healthy condition however scrubbing is also one of the ways to prevent acne.

Mild acne can be treated using topical medication that usually contains benzoyl peroxide (2%-5%), salicylic acid (1-2%), or retinoid acid(1-2%). Yet if you have sensitive skin , you should avoid using products with retinoid acid. Treatment by using the above kind of medication can be done continually up to 6-8 weeks. But chronic acne needs serious and professional medical treatment (dermatologist).

Acne Stages

Acne has different stadiums of growth. The primary stadium of acne is comedo. Comedo is a widened hair follicle filled with dead skin cells, sebum, and bacteria. There are two kinds of comedones (the plural of comedo) closed comedo (whitehead) and open comedo ( blackhead). Comedones feel rough on the skin.

The next stadium of acne is blemish. In this stage a comedo is infected by bacteria and becomes inflamed. The inflammation appears like red mountains on the face. This condition tempts you to pop the infected bumps. If its done correctly by a professional, using anti blemish medication and sterile tools, the problem may end satisfactorily. But the problem arises when we pop the blemish with tools or hands which are not sterile. This makes the infection in the surrounding area.

After blemish comes the pimple stage. This is when a sore and itchy sensation attacks. Again, popping is not recommended because it can lead to permanent skin scarring.
