 WHAT IS ACNE ?

• ACNE, ALSO KNOWN AS ACNE VULGARIS, IS A LONG-TERM SKIN DISEASE THAT OCCURS
WHEN HAIR FOLLICLES ARE CLOGGED WITH DEAD SKIN CELLS AND OIL FROM THE SKIN.]
• IT IS CHARACTERIZED BY BLACKHEADS OR WHITEHEADS, PIMPLES, OILY SKIN, AND
POSSIBLE SCARRING.
• IT PRIMARILY AFFECTS AREAS OF THE SKIN WITH A RELATIVELY HIGH NUMBER OF OIL GLANDS,
INCLUDING THE FACE, UPPER PART OF THE CHEST, AND BACK.
• THE RESULTING APPEARANCE CAN LEAD TO ANXIETY, REDUCED SELF-ESTEEM AND, IN EXTREME
CASES, DEPRESSION OR THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE.

 CAUSES OF ACNE

• BACTERIA
• EXCESS ACTIVITY OF A TYPE OF HORMONE (ANDROGENS)
 TREATMENT FOR ACNE
• LIGHT THERAPY
• STEROID INJECTIONS
• CHEMICAL PEELS
• DRAINAGE AND EXTRACTION
 LIGHT THERAPY
• THE REDNESS AND SWELLING THAT CAN OCCUR WITH ACNE IS
CAUSED BY A TYPE OF BACTERIA THAT CAN BE KILLED BY EXPOSING
YOUR SKIN TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIGHT.
• YOUR TREATMENTS MAY USE BLUE LIGHT, RED LIGHT OR A
COMBINATION. MORE STUDY IS NEEDED TO DETERMINE THE BEST
METHODS FOR TREATING ACNE WITH LIGHT.
• POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS IN THE TREATED AREAS INCLUDE:
• REDNESS
• CRUSTING AND PEELING
• CHANGES IN SKIN TONE
• PAIN.
 STEROID INJECTIONS

• STEROID INJECTIONS ARE MOST OFTEN USED FOR THE TYPES OF ACNE THAT CAUSE
PAINFUL LUMPS BENEATH THE SURFACE OF THE SKIN (NODULES AND CYSTS).
• THIS DRUG IS EFFECTIVE, BUT IT CAN CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS, INCLUDING:
• THINNING OF THE SKIN
• APPEARANCE OF SMALL BLOOD VESSELS ON THE TREATED AREA
• SKIN TONE THAT TURNS LIGHTER THAN NORMAL
• STEROID INJECTIONS ARE TYPICALLY USED AS A TEMPORARY OR OCCASIONAL FIX FOR
STUBBORN CYSTS AND NODULES. THEY AREN'T USED TO TREAT WIDESPREAD ACNE
BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS AND THE NEED FOR FREQUENT DOCTOR
VISITS.
 CHEMICAL PEELS

• SUPERFICIAL CHEMICAL PEELS MAY CONTROL SOME TYPES OF ACNE

AND IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF SKIN.
• DURING A CHEMICAL PEEL, YOUR DOCTOR APPLIES A MILD CHEMICAL
SOLUTION TO YOUR SKIN. THIS SOLUTION HELPS UNCLOG PORES AND
REMOVE DEAD SKIN CELLS, WHITEHEADS AND BLACKHEADS.

SCARRING, INFECTION AND ABNORMAL SKIN COLORING.
