blotchy acne scars
Acne is a skin condition that shows up as different types of bumps They include whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and cysts What causes these annoying bumps? Well, your skin is covered with tiny holes called hair follicles, or pores Pores contain sebaceous (say: suh-bay-shus) glands (also called oil glands) that make sebum (say: see-bum), an oil that moistens your hair and skin
Retinoids: Synthetic derivatives of Vitamin A that unclog pores and aid in sloughing.
Androgenic: Referring to the hormones that stimulate the sebaceous glands to create sebum
Nodules are more likely to leave permanent scars than other types of acne Most serious scarring is caused by more severe acne, and the best way to deal with it is to get treatment soon after the acne appears If you have nodules, see your doctor or dermatologist right away He or she will assess your acne and will probably prescribe some combination of topical gels or creams The doctor may also prescribe antibiotic pills, oral contraceptives for some teen girls with acne (the hormones in birth control pills can help control acne in some cases), or other medication such as isotretinoin if the acne is severe
Topical benzoyl peroxide and benzoyl peroxide/erythromycin combinations are similar in efficacy to oral oxytetracycline and minocycline and are not affected by propionibacterial antibiotic resistanc
Sebum: The oily substance produced by sebaceous glands
