Yeongdeungpo Adult Acne Dermatology Clinic: The OO Method That Changes Depending on Symptoms

Many people carefully wash their faces and take care of skincare for healthy skin.

Our skin responds sensitively to more complex signals than we might think.

Skin is affected not only by external irritation, but also by stress, lack of sleep, hormonal changes, pollution, and poor eating habits, both large and small.

Because of that, healthy skin cannot be maintained simply by being good at cleansing.

The acne I will explain today is not just a simple skin problem.

It is a complex inflammatory skin disease in which the sebaceous glands, dead skin cells, bacteria, inflammation, and more are intricately intertwined.

And because the symptoms appear externally, it can function as a complex about appearance, and it can also be accompanied by severe psychological stress.

Not only that, but it can also become a major burden when going to interviews or blind dates, causing significant disruption to daily life.

Therefore, please do not take acne symptoms lightly; it is better to visit a clinic as soon as possible and receive appropriate treatment.

Today, at the Yeongdeungpo Adult Acne Dermatology Clinic, we will explain in detail the causes of acne and acne treatment methods.

• Today’s column outline -

1. Causes of acne

3. Acne treatment methods

Why does acne occur? - A chaos drama caused by sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria

Acne is a skin condition closely related to the "sebaceous glands" inside the skin.

First, sebaceous glands are like an oil factory inside the skin.

But when this factory works too hard, sebum can be secreted excessively and block the pores, which are the "channels for sebum drainage."

Then the sebum and dead skin cells that have not been able to escape accumulate inside the pores, building up and forming comedones.

In addition, if acne bacteria multiply inside, an inflammatory reaction occurs, and pain, itching, and redness may appear as a result.

In severe cases, even pus can be observed.

In short, acne is a skin condition caused by a combination of factors such as excess sebum, blocked dead skin cells, and bacterial proliferation.

And stress, lack of sleep, greasy foods, improper use of cosmetics, and cleansing habits can all further stimulate the acne process.

How should you prevent acne? - Skin care methods

Many people try to eliminate sebum itself to prevent acne.

However, sebum is not something that should simply be removed.

Sebum plays a role similar to a natural protective barrier that protects the skin from the external environment.

However, excessive sebum secretion can instead have large and small negative effects on the skin and ultimately become a cause of acne.

To control sebum secretion, the first thing to check is hormones and lifestyle habits.

In particular, if you are a woman, you should also pay close attention to taking birth control pills.

And when you are under stress, the sebaceous glands are stimulated, which can cause sebum secretion to surge, so it is advisable to manage stress through hobbies, walks, meditation, and similar activities.

The second thing I would like to mention is cleaning the pores through cleansing.

Cleansing is not just a simple habit; it can be said to be the beginning of skin survival.

In particular, if you wear makeup, it may be advisable to do a first cleanse with an oil cleanser and then a second cleanse with a foam cleanser.

There are also people who perform exfoliation to maintain healthy skin condition.

Of course, exfoliation can help clean out the pores neatly, but frequent exfoliation can weaken the skin barrier, so please do it gently only about 1 to 2 times a week.

How to treat acne - It changes depending on the symptoms.

When acne turns red and rises up, the thought that comes to mind is, "Should I just squeeze it?"

However, if you squeeze acne indiscriminately, the subcutaneous tissue can be significantly damaged, and lifelong acne scars may remain.

Therefore, it is best to visit a clinic whenever possible and undergo extraction treatment.

In dermatology, acne extraction treatment is performed by gently opening the pores with hot steam before extraction.

Then, by gently squeezing out the comedones through the pore channels that are ready for drainage, you can expect an improvement in the raised acne.

However, if the symptoms are located over a wide area, skin scaling treatment may be performed.

Scaling treatment is carried out by applying a specific solution to the skin to remove old dead skin cells, sebum inside the pores, and residual inflammation.

This naturally dissolves and removes skin waste, and at the same time helps regulate the skin turnover cycle, which can be very helpful in preventing future acne recurrence.

As such, different treatment methods may be applied depending on the severity of the symptoms and the extent of the lesions, so treatment should be carried out after a detailed skin examination.

The skin is a very honest organ.

If what you eat changes, it reacts immediately; if you are stressed, it shows it; and when your sleep pattern is disrupted, it never fails to reveal it.

That is how honestly the results appear on your face depending on how you treat your skin.

Acne is the first conversation with my skin.

So please listen a little more closely, treat it a little more gently, and seek help from more trustworthy medical professionals.
