TREATMENT FOR ACTIVE ACNE

What is Active Acne?

Active acne is a skin condition that goes beyond occasional pimples. It begins to manifest itself first with the presence of comedones (open or closed) then with papules and/or pustules and even nodules and cysts, causing inflammation and discomfort. This condition can affect people of all ages and skin types, and it is very important that you know how to treat it in time, otherwise it is very easy for it to spread in a short time.

When the hair follicles (or “pores”) of the skin become clogged with oil and dead skin cells it is the ideal place for bacteria to grow and create red bumps and pus-filled red bumps like pimples. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to understand that acne is a bacterium (Propionibacterium acnes) and if it is not treated when it starts, it can spread and begin to evolve to higher types or grades. Depending on the degree of acne, we have treatments that can range from medical grade facial cleansing, chemical peeling or laser with the aim of avoiding drug treatments as much as possible.

What are the different types or grades of acne?

• Mild acne: whiteheads or blackheads, also called comedones, are visible. Up to 20 visible lesions or pimples is considered mild acne .
• Moderate acne: you see inflamed red pimples (which medically, are called papules) and red pimples with a white center (which medically, are called pustules). Moderate acne is from 20-50 lesions.
• Severe acne: causes painful, pus-filled cysts or lumps (called nodules) under the skin.Over 50 lesions is considered severe acne.
