The pimples or acne may increase and become chronic due to a variety of reasons such as genetics, unhealthy lifestyle, fast food, improper skin care, illnesses like PCOD or even as a side effect of certain medications. It is necessary for you to consult a dermatologist for chronic acne. Your dermatologist may prescribe some oral or topical medicine or may even recommend some medical procedures. So let’s take a look at the medicines or treatments a doctor may prescribe to you. The main role of acne medication is reduce the sebum secretion from the oil producing sebaceous glands, they also help to control propionibacterium or acne-causing bacteria. Usually these medicines prevent the formation of acne scars or pigmentation to some extent.

Your skin specialist will suggest treatments based on the assessment of your age, acne type, skin type and cause of acne. There are many different approaches to acne treatments. You should not ignore your acne when it increases, becomes painful, and becomes reddish and gets filled with pus. You should definitely get these medically treated. Using home or natural remedies may reduce the appearance of the pimples to some extent. As we discussed earlier, your doctor may prescribe oral, topical and hormonal correction medicines or even suggest some skin procedures. Most doctors prescribe topical creams for acne, such as retinoids, creams, gels or benzoyl peroxide. In severe cases, the doctor may also prescribe oral antibiotics along with topical ointments. Antibiotics help to reduce the redness, pain and excessive bacteria of pustular acne. A common combination treatment is retinoids and antibiotics. Topical antibiotics may be applied in the mornings and the retinoids in the evening. 

Another common combination is benzoyl peroxide and antibiotics. Your doctor could also prescribe products containing salicylic acid and azelaic acid, which have anti-bacterial properties. Antibiotics are also available in oral forms. If you have moderate to severe pustular acne , your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics to reduce the bacteria and fight the inflammation. Oral antibiotics should be used for short durations as these are really strong. If used haphazardly, the acne causing bacteria may become immune and develop resistance to the oral antibiotics. You should tell your doctor if you have any allergies or illnesses caused by antibiotics so that they can prescribe the correct medicine to you. Some females also have hormonal acne, which can be reduced by certain specific oral contraceptive pills and aldactone. Contraceptive pills have a combination of estrogen and progesterone. It can take a few months to control acne. Another thing is that there are some forms of acne which are not affected by the usual antiacne medicines. For such severe acne, the dermatologists may prescribe powerful oral medicines like anti-androgen agents and oral isoretinoin. Both these medicines are very strong and must be consumed only if prescribed by your doctor and under their observation. Taking these medicines without consulting a dermatologist may lead to side effects and negatively impact your health. If you suffer from severe acne and want to get it treated as fast as possible, I can also suggest some safe and advanced scientific treatments. The first is laser treatment for acne and the second is light or photodynamic treatment for acne. In the first, your facial skin or acne lesions are exposed to blue light or low level laser light which reduces the bacteria in the acne. Intense pulsed light or heat energy reduces the redness or swelling caused by pimples. This also aids in reducing the size of the sebaceous glands to some extent. Another commonly used medical procedure is chemical peels. During this procedure, a mild chemical solution is applied to your face which helps to unclog pores, clears dead skin cells and stimulates new skin growth which helps improve the skin’s appearance and reduces clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads and acne. However, to prevent your skin from getting burns or pigmented, this treatment must be carried out under the supervision of an expert dermatologist. For nodulocystic acne is often treated by injecting steroidal drugs. Because this procedure may have side effects, it cannot be used to treat widespread acne and should not be used repeatedly. All these treatments will reduce acne and may prevent scarring as well. All these treatments have to be carried out at the dermatologist clinic. These treatments cleanse the skin, regulate sebaceous gland activity, remove dead skin cells, and reduce the appearance of scars. They help to even out the skin tone and rejuvenate the skin. The treatments help to reduce the skin inflammation and prevent the darkening or permanent scarring of the skin. It is also important to implement some changes to improve your lifestyle . You have to wash your face twice a day and apply a good moisturiser and sunscreen on your face as well. Avoid using too much make-up or too many cosmetic products on your skin as this clogs the pores and causes acne. If you have to use make-up, use non-comedogenic or water based compounds. Always try on the product and if it does not cause acne you can apply a light coat of make-up. However, you must remember to wash off your make-up before going to bed. You should avoid junk food, oily food, fast food, preserved food, ice cream, dairy or milk products, chocolates or very sweet food.
