Yeongdeungpo Acne Dermatology Visit,
What If It Keeps Recurring in the Same Spot?

'It only keeps coming out in the same place where I always get acne.
I squeezed it cleanly and handled it well,
but I’m frustrated because it keeps popping up in the same spot...'
When you think you have successfully squeezed out acne and calmed the inflammation, but then the exact same area breaks out again a little later, it can be really irritating.
At first, you may wonder if you handled it wrong, but when it comes up even without doing anything, it feels hopeless.
This keeps happening because only the immediate inflammation has been addressed, while the environment that causes acne remains unchanged. It is similar to wiping up a leaking pipe without fixing the faucet.
So today, let’s look at why acne is prone to recurring and how to change the environment where acne can easily develop.

Reasons acne is prone to recurring
First, if we look at the areas where acne commonly develops, it becomes easier to understand why acne tends to recur.

Acne mainly concentrates on the forehead, nose, cheeks, chin, and also the neck, chest, and back. The common factor is that these areas have many sebaceous glands.
The biggest cause of acne is excessive sebum production.

Normally, sebum plays a role in protecting the skin when it is secreted in appropriate amounts. But when it becomes excessive, sebum and dead skin cells become tangled together and block the pores.
When the pores are blocked, it creates an environment where acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes) can multiply, feeding on sebum and causing inflammation that eventually develops into acne.

In summary, the key to preventing acne from recurring easily is managing dead skin cells and controlling sebum. Without managing these, it is difficult to prevent recurrence no matter how well you squeeze it out.

Acne treatment methods
Then let’s look at what acne treatment methods can help prevent recurrence.
This is not the scaling we usually know for removing tartar. ^^ It is a procedure for managing dead skin cells.
Scaling is a procedure that removes built-up dead skin cells to open blocked pores.

Rather than scraping or peeling the skin, it gently dissolves only the dead skin cells with a mild solution, so there is no need to worry about irritation or skin damage.
After scaling, the blocked pores open up, trapped waste inside can be discharged, and it creates an environment where sebum can be released more easily from the skin.
It also has the added effect of helping products or procedures for skin care work better afterward.
If scaling opens the pathway for sebum to be released, Neobeam is a method that helps reduce sebum production going forward.

It is a procedure that uses a 1450nm wavelength diode laser to suppress the sebaceous glands inside the skin.

A feature of Neobeam is that its wavelength passes through the skin surface while acting selectively on the deeper sebaceous glands, so there is less concern about skin damage.
The laser energy acts on the sebaceous glands, generating heat, and that heat coagulates or partially destroys the sebaceous glands.

When sebum production itself decreases, it becomes harder for acne-causing bacteria to live, clogged pores are less likely to occur, and conditions that make acne difficult to form are established.

Today, for those considering a visit to Yeongdeungpo Acne Dermatology (Department: Dermatology) because of acne concerns, we explained why acne develops easily and the treatment methods suited to it.
Acne care needs to go beyond removing visible symptoms; it is more effective when you work toward changing the skin so that acne is harder to develop.
By maintaining the pathway for smooth sebum discharge through regular scaling and reducing sebum production, it may lead to a more pleasant experience where acne does not easily form even if it wants to.
