healing acne scar
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
P acnes will multiply rapidly in clogged hair follicles where sebum is trapped
Isotretinoin: Potent systemic medication used to treat severe forms of acne Due to potential birth defects, a woman must not take this medication while pregnant or breast feeding and must not become pregnant while taking isotretinoin
Benzoyl peroxide, with its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, is among the most widely used topical agents in the treatment of inflammatory acne vulgaris Benzoyl peroxide is marketed either alone or in combination with other topical antibiotics; namely, erythromycin and clindamycin The combination products confer specific advantages over benzoyl peroxide alone, particularly in decreasing the in vivo follicular counts of Propionibacterium acnes, the anaerobic bacterium implicated in the pathogenesis of acne In addition, the topical treatment of inflammatory acne has been complicated by the development of P acnes resistance to topical erythromycin and clindamycin Combination products containing benzoyl peroxide and the topical antibiotics have been shown to both: (i) prevent the development of antibiotic resistance in acne patients; and (ii) confer significant clinical improvement to patients who have already developed antibiotic resistance
The retinoids have great beneficial effects, but also some adverse effects, the main one being teratogenicity It is preferable not to use them in topical form for pregnant women, although a pregnancy test is only compulsory for tazaroteneOnly isotretinoin is used in systemic form It acts on all the factors of acne and offers long remissions, and sometimes complete cures Precautions must be taken for women of childbearing age due to its teratogenicity It is also important to be aware of its other adverse effects, explain them to the patient and, if possible, deal with them in advance
