Acne is often seen as something that only teenagers get, but in reality, it is a chronic skin condition that can occur regardless of age.

Perhaps because of this, many people try various methods to prevent and manage acne.

They use good cosmetics, cleanse thoroughly, and even consider dermatology procedures.

However, skin can be damaged by various environmental and internal factors without us even realizing it.

In particular, invisible factors such as pollution, stress, and hormonal changes can have a major impact on skin health.

Acne is an inflammatory condition that occurs in the sebaceous glands of the pores. Because changes begin beneath the skin, simply controlling the visible symptoms does not completely eliminate the cause.

Even so, many people squeeze acne carelessly or try folk remedies that are said to be good for the skin.

Of course, if managed properly, acne symptoms may improve temporarily.

However, if you self-manage carelessly without understanding acne, the skin may suffer even greater damage, which can worsen symptoms and even lead to secondary complications.

That is why, rather than touching acne carelessly, it may be better to visit a clinic and plan appropriate treatment.

Today’s post from the Yeongdeungpo acne clinic is intended to help those who are struggling with acne.

An acne condition that can burst like a time bomb if left untreated

Acne is like a poorly managed construction site.

Just as stones keep piling up on an unorganized road and water collects when a drain is blocked, our skin can develop inflammation when sebum is not properly discharged and pores become clogged.

At first, it may not be very noticeable, like small dust or pebbles, but over time it gradually grows and can eventually cause serious problems.

As mentioned earlier, acne is a skin condition caused by sebum not being properly discharged.

It is also known that hormonal changes and accumulated stress can have a serious effect.

In addition, oily foods and dairy products can promote sebum secretion and worsen acne.

Therefore, it is better to avoid consuming foods such as oily fast food, chocolate, milk, and cheese, and it is advisable to drink enough water so that waste products in the body can be removed smoothly.

Also, if you use cosmetics that do not suit your skin type or products that are high in oil, they can clog pores and worsen acne, so it is better to use gentle cosmetics designed for acne-prone skin.

Acne: Why you should not squeeze it carelessly

When acne appears, it is only natural to be bothered by it.

A red, swollen pimple can stand out as if it is shouting, “I’m here!”

And when you see acne growing larger and larger, you may think, “Should I just squeeze it?”

You may also watch videos of people squeezing acne on the internet or YouTube and feel the urge to try it yourself.

However, if you squeeze acne indiscriminately, the bacteria and sebum left inside can spread to surrounding tissue, making the inflammatory reaction even worse.

In particular, using your hands or unsterilized tools can increase the risk of secondary infection.

And if you squeeze acne with excessive force, the deeper layers of the skin may be damaged, collagen may not regenerate properly, and this can leave a sunken atrophic scar.

Dark reddish pigmentation may even remain and not fade for a long time.

That is why you should not try to squeeze acne carelessly; it is better to visit a clinic and receive help appropriate for your condition.

Acne treatment must be approached with proper understanding.

Extraction treatment is the most basic acne treatment method, and it can help clear away sebum and waste products accumulated in pores.

Also, depending on the case, topical treatments and oral medications may be used to help prevent acne from recurring.

In addition, “peeling treatment,” which can help remove sebum left inside the pores and normalize the skin’s turnover cycle, may be performed alongside other treatments.

However, if symptoms do not improve even with these methods, “sebaceous gland laser treatment” may be considered.

Sebaceous gland laser treatment is performed by delivering strong thermal energy to the problematic subcutaneous tissue to suppress activated sebaceous glands.

In this way, sebum secretion itself is suppressed, and you may expect the red, suppurative acne to gradually recover.

In addition, because this treatment destroys the sebaceous glands themselves, it can be of great help in preventing future recurrence.

However, the intensity of treatment that can be applied varies clearly depending on the patient’s skin condition and the degree and extent of the lesions.

So if you are looking for safe and satisfying results, it may be better to visit a clinic that creates a one-to-one treatment plan rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Acne treatment is not something that ends in a short period of time; it is a skin condition that requires continuous care and treatment.

And considering the skin turnover cycle, treatment for at least 2 to 3 months may be necessary.

So it is advisable to continue treatment consistently according to the guidance of medical staff.

Also, after receiving laser treatment or peeling treatment, the skin may become temporarily sensitive, so please pay extra attention to sun protection and moisturizing care.
