Acne Treatment
Acne vulgaris is the most common skin condition, affecting a large portion of the population at some point in their life.
Resulta da inflamação da unidade pilossebácea (folículos pilosos e suas glândulas sebáceas acessórias) com o aumento da produção de sebo (gordura) e pela colonização por bactérias (essencialmente Propionibacterium acnes) e acumulação de células mortas presentes na pele.
However, hormonal changes, stress, and environmental conditions cause this condition to affect not only young people but also contribute to its appearance in adults.
Most common types of acne:
Non-inflammatory or comedogenic acne:
It is characterized by the appearance of closed comedones (whiteheads) and open comedones (blackheads). It is the simplest form of acne.
Inflammatory Acne:
The appearance of papules and pustules ("pimples" with pus).
Mixed acne:
It occurs when comedonal acne coexists with inflammatory acne.
When this issue is not properly treated, it can lead to unsightly scars, characterized by various shapes, sizes, and shades (pink, red, gray, or brown), and they may also have raised or depressed textures.
In more severe cases, larger lesions such as pustules, nodules, or cysts form, which are much more uncomfortable and can lead to permanent scars. In addition to being unpleasant changes on our skin, they represent a medical condition that requires treatment.
