treatment for adult acne
Myth #4: Acne is just a cosmetic disease Yes, acne does affect the way people look and is not otherwise a serious threat to a person’s physical health However, acne can result in permanent physical scars--plus, acne itself as well as its scars can affect the way people feel about themselves to the point of affecting their lives
Acne vulgaris is a common dermatologic disease in African patients, as well as in Caucasians Our report evaluates the safety and efficacy of adapalene gel 01% in African patients with acne vulgaris We used a 12-week, 2-center, open-label, noncomparative study of adapalene gel 01% in 65 African patients with acne vulgaris to assess the drug's effect on hyperpigmented lesions in people with dark skin The study demonstrated that the progressive and significant improvements in lesion counts and global acne grades produced by adapalene in African patients were paralleled by significant improvements in the degree of hyperpigmentation of acne lesions
Retinoid: A natural or synthetic substance derived from vitamin A
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: Excessive skin darkening at places where the skin was inflamed
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
In some cases, the doctor may recommend surgery to remove deeply indented scars
