What ointments are used for closed acne?
There are three main types of creams commonly used to treat acne: topical vitamin A acid, benzoyl peroxide, and antibiotics; in addition to herbal medicines. These are all very effective in treating closed acne. Topical retinoids These drugs can promote the normal shedding of hair follicle epithelium, which can reduce acne and inhibit melanin production; in addition, these drugs can inhibit the activity of leukocyte chemotaxis, thus coming to a very good anti-inflammatory effect. Note: Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight during treatment; use the medication after washing and drying; do not overdose multiple times a day; use with caution for allergy sufferers. Benzoyl peroxide Benzoyl peroxide has a good antibacterial effect, and the use of such drugs can effectively dissolve acne, which can accelerate the metabolism of the skin, and is very effective in treating inflammatory acne. Note: Use with caution for allergy sufferers; avoid contact with eyes, mouth, etc. Local adverse reactions such as mild itching, stinging, mild erythema and peeling will not affect the continued use of the medication. Antibiotics These drugs are less irritating to the skin, so they can be effective for mild inflammatory acne. However, bacteria may also produce drug-resistant bacteria after repeated contact with the drug, which will result in the reduced efficacy or even ineffectiveness of antibiotic drugs. Therefore, it is recommended that antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide be used together topically to reduce the occurrence of drug resistance and thus achieve the effective treatment of closed acne.Caution: Use with caution if you are allergic; stop using the medication if you feel tingling, redness, swelling, itching, etc., and clean the area where the medication is applied; consult your doctor if you are still uncomfortable; use with caution if you are pregnant, and stop breastfeeding if you must use it while breastfeeding.
