Acne Treatment in Singapore

Why Is Early Treatment of Acne Important?

Many parents, teenagers and young adults believe in letting acne like cystic run its course and recover on its own without going through a clinic to ask for professional advice. Others treat it with home remedies which may only cause the pimple to further worsen. Understanding the causes of acne and which treatments can help your skin is the best way to achieve effective results.

Acne occurs when the openings of hair follicles are clogged and blocked by oil, bacteria and dead skin cells. The clogged pores become infected and inflamed, forming a pimple - a small red bump with pus at its tip. A person may suffer from multiple types of acne at the same time.

Lack of proper treatment like on the face, body or bacne can lead to depressed acne scars and pigmented acne marks - also known as Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). Acne scars can be expensive to treat, and also involve significant downtime. Active acne, and post acne scars can often lead to significant physical and psychological problems as well. Thus, it is important to treat your pimple early.

Stage 1: Mild Acne Vulgaris

This first stage of acne usually consists of a small concentration of pimples and blackheads on the skin. Usually, there is no inflammation, nor does it occur on a daily basis.

Stage 2: Moderate Acne Vulgaris

Moderate acne or pimple on the face or cheek consists of whiteheads, blackheads, pustules, papules and pimples on the skin. It can occur more frequently, and there may be some redness or inflammation around the affected area.

Stage 3: Moderate to Severe Acne Vulgaris

The third stage of acne is identified by inflammation, with the skin looking red and irritated. Cysts, papules, and nodules may also be present.

Stage 4: Severe Acne Vulgaris

In this severe stage, acne becomes extremely painful. There will be numerous pustules, cysts, papules and nodules in the affected area or on various parts of the body.

Acne is a complex skin condition with causes that go beyond cosmetic issues. While factors such as hormonal activity, genetic makeup, and stress play a part in the development of pimple, the solutions go beyond skin-deep. Moreover, not everyone’s acne condition can be treated the same way. Effectively treating acne calls for identifying the root causes and addressing them. Assessment and diagnosis of the root causes of acne are an integral aspect of acne medical treatment for the face, body, neck, back (bacne) or butt. Thus, a customized multi-modal approach by going to an acne clinic and using the right products for your skin based on medical principles can help deliver effective treatment for pimple.
