Acne is a problem that many people care about, and now everyone's face may have such a situation, to understand the treatment of acne, we must first understand the pathogenesis of acne.
There are many reasons for the occurrence of acne, in terms of internal factors with genetics, dietary habits, environmental differences and pressure adjustment is very relevant, that is, acne is a constitutional and acquired factors. When a child does not have acne problems, but due to dramatic changes in hormones after adolescence, it will greatly increase the chance of acne, when the activity of sebaceous glands will increase the oil will increase, the acne bacteria within the hair follicle The quantity and activity will also increase, and at the same time, it will easily lead to keratinocyte metabolism abnormalities in the hair follicle opening, thus increasing the chance of acne.
If only blackheads or whiteheads are available, the problem is not great. The trouble is that with acne, it is easy to induce an inflammatory reaction. If the skin is over-inflamed and poorly repaired, it will produce intractable lumps, cysts, and pigments. Precipitation, pitting, and scarring problems, and it's not easy to get back to the skin as it happens.
In the past, treatment of acne was based on antibacterial ingredients, and it was thought that as long as the control of acne bacillus against acne can be resolved, in fact, such a concept is not correct and may even be the wrong direction. Because acne bacteria are commensal bacteria on the skin, no matter which kind of antibiotic or antibacterial ingredient you use to fight it, although it can make it temporarily reduce the number and activity, but as long as you do not continue to suppress the bacteria will return to its original state, it is likely Just white busy. In other words, the use of antibacterial ingredients to treat acne can only handle mild temporary acne status, regardless of the use of oral antibiotics, topical antibiotics, or topical antibacterial agents.
However, there are many anti-acne products and external skin care products on the market. They use antibacterial agents to treat acne, such as Triclosan, Piroctone olamine, Isopropyl methylphenol, Chlorhexidine digluconate, and Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate. However, honestly speaking, such formulas cannot handle acne problems for a long period of time. Instead, it is very easy to cause drug resistance and ecological abnormalities of skin symbiotic bacteria.
Although antibacterial ingredients are used to treat acne, some of the effects are due to their anti-inflammatory rather than anti-bacterial properties. But if you only want anti-inflammatory effects, you really don't need to use antibiotics/antibacterial agents because it's really not worth the long-term risk assessment.
