5 Steps to Control Chronic Acne

Blog Series Part 2 0f 2

In this leg of our 2 part series on the 5 Steps to Control Chronic Acne, we’ll look at how using the latest Acne treatments could help control the spread of chronic acne and enable to get a more clearer and a healthier skin.

Oral Medication

Oral antibiotics are prescribed pills taken orally to combat chronic acne, by wiping out bacteria from your entire system and reduce inflammation. Antibiotics generally takes time for the results to appear, but since they are also subject to bacterial resistance, your body eventually becomes immune to it. Exercise extreme caution while using oral antibiotics and use it only after being prescribed by a registered dermatologist, as they can really wreak havoc on your body. By killing all bacteria, both good and bad, they exterminate the healthy gut flora that aid proper digestion. This could result in gastric problems, allergies or in some cases even yeast infection. Oral antibiotics may also cause sunlight sensitivity, so its advisable to stay away from direct sunlight or wear a protective sunscreen.

Laser Treatment

Laser treatments are the fastest way to deal with scars and hyperpigmentation left behind when acne heals and can also be beneficial for inflammatory acne. These lasers precisely target damaged areas to different degrees depending on the severity of the acne scars. Although patients enjoy the benefits provided by laser based acne removal treatment, it is an expensive procedure as it requires multiple sessions to rid your skin off acne. The procedure also leaves post session scarring which takes time to heal. The most severe cases tend to cause longer periods of recovery with more noticeable after effects, such as redness and swelling of the skin.

Topical Antibiotics

Topical antibiotics are available in cream or gel form that are mostly available over the counter. They work by killing off all bacteria on the surface of your skin, controlling the spread of acne. Though they help clear acne, their results are not long-term. Your skin eventually develops bacterial resistance to topical antibiotics (usually after 6 months) and they stop being as effective. Because of this, some people like to rotate product usage so their skin doesn’t get used to the treatment. For example, some people will use an antibiotic for one month and then the next month use a different acne topical, alternating usage to prevent antibiotic resistance. There are generally no side effects from topical antibiotics. They either work or simply do nothing. However, the gel or cream base of the product can make your skin dry or oily.

When it comes to treating acne, prevention is key. You can take steps to put a stop to chronic acne before it becomes incessant, leading to frequent breakouts and possibly resulting in scars. Good skincare plays an important role in treating acne and the first step towards a healthy skin is a proper daily wash that combats multiple causes of breakouts.
