Acne in Yangcheon-gu



Hello.

I am Kim Jin-hyeon, Chief Director at You&I Clinic Mokdong Branch.





Acne may be a chronic concern for many people.

Even after receiving treatment with great effort, seeing acne appear again inevitably brings frustration.

In particular, if you have spent a lot of time and money and bought various cosmetics, yet acne keeps recurring, you may feel completely at a loss.

To those people, I would like to say this.

Acne should not be treated only at the skin's surface.

It is a very troublesome condition that can only be prevented from recurring when the exact cause is identified and approached systematically.

Today, I will personally explain in detail the entire acne treatment process, from the various reasons acne develops, to the treatment methods that differ depending on symptoms, and even the lifestyle habits that can help prevent recurrence after treatment.

Why does acne develop?





"If I manage sebum properly,

will acne disappear?"

This is a very common question.

However, acne is often not explained by a single sebum-related issue alone.

The causes of acne can be broadly divided into four factors.

First, overactive sebaceous glands.



During puberty or periods of hormonal change, sebaceous glands become especially active, and in such cases, sebum can block pores and act as a major cause of acne.

Second, abnormal shedding of dead skin cells inside the pores.



When dead skin cells are not properly shed and build up inside the pores, they can mix with sebum and form comedones such as whiteheads.

Third, proliferation of acne-causing bacteria.



Acne-causing bacteria usually grow by feeding on sebum, and as sebum increases, they rapidly multiply and also trigger inflammation.

Fourth, the immune system's inflammatory response.



When it reaches this stage, it can develop into red, swollen inflammatory acne and, in severe cases, even cysts or nodules.

Acne is often thought of as a teenage condition, but adult acne is also quite common.

In particular, acne linked to stress, lack of sleep, irregular menstruation, or uterine conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome is also frequently observed.

For this reason, acne cannot be resolved by looking only at the skin's surface.

It is a condition that requires consideration of each person's skin type, internal environment, and lifestyle habits.

Treatment methods that vary depending on symptoms





Even if acne looks similar, once it is carefully diagnosed, the direction of treatment can be completely different.

For example, in cases like whiteheads, changes may be expected with only peeling or scaling treatments that remove dead skin cells and open up the pores.

However, in the case of inflammatory acne, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory injections, and laser treatment may need to be used together.

Because nodular cysts are located in very deep layers of the skin, much more detailed treatment may be required.

And there is one more type of acne that is important to consider.

That is female-pattern acne.



If you are someone whose acne repeatedly appears only around the chin before or after menstruation, this is likely the case.

In such situations, there is a possibility that male hormones or uterine and ovarian conditions are involved, so hormone testing is essential.

Standard acne treatment alone may not be enough to bring about sufficient change.

You must properly prevent acne from recurring



Acne treatment is centered not on short-term symptom improvement, but on long-term improvement of the skin environment and prevention of recurrence.

For this, managing your lifestyle habits after treatment is very important.

First, I recommend reviewing your cleansing habits.

People with acne often wash their face several times a day or use strong cleansing methods.

This can instead damage the skin barrier and stimulate sebum production even more.

Also, not every product labeled as acne cosmetics is helpful.

In particular, toners with high alcohol content or excessive exfoliating ingredients may actually worsen inflammation and irritate the skin.

You must carefully check whether it suits your skin type before using it.

And one area that must never be overlooked is sleep, diet, and stress management.

If your sleep schedule is irregular or you excessively consume late-night snacks and oily foods, inflammatory reactions in the body may increase, and this may potentially trigger acne.

In fact, many people observe that acne symptoms improve after correcting their eating habits and sleep patterns.

In other words, you should not let your guard down just because treatment is over.

It may be a little difficult, but after acne treatment, it is important to consistently maintain skincare and lifestyle habits centered on restoring and regenerating the skin barrier.



Acne is actually a condition influenced by a combination of various factors, including hormones, immunity, lifestyle habits, and sebaceous glands.

That is why, rather than immediately starting treatment based only on visible symptoms, it is necessary to find the real cause and approach it accordingly.

If acne keeps recurring, do not try to solve it with just one cosmetic product or one medication. Instead, I hope you will work with medical professionals to find the treatment method that suits you best.
