Acne is one of the most common facial skin disorders that affect at least 50% of the teen age group. This problem is mainly caused by an excess secretion of oil, which in turn is caused by the genes of the individuals.
There are different types of acne treatments available for one to consider. Treatments which might work for one person might not work for the other, as the nature of the skin is different for different people. Hence it is advised to consult a physician for treating acne. Also, there are different levels of acne and the type of treatment also depends on the severity of the acne.
Acne which is mild on the skin and one that doesn’t go deep inside the facial skin is called a pimple. Acne which is somewhat more severe has spots called black heads or white heads, and chiefly occurs on the side of the nose and also on the chin.
The most severe form of acne is the cyst. When someone is carrying a cyst, then that person can undergo a lot of pain, as these cysts can go deep inside the facial layer of the skin. If the person tries to break it with their fingers then the bacteria that have caused the cysts will move spread deep inside the skin causing it to spread to other parts of the body. Hence it is important for the person affected with a cyst to immediately approach their local dermatologist and get it treated. The skin specialists will user laser treatment to completely remove the cyst and also any scars that are left behind by the cysts.
In the case of treating ordinary pimples, one can go for certain natural cleansing agents in the form of creams and gels that will clear away the pimples. If the pimples leave some scars then they need to take separate treatment for it.
For removing black heads and white heads that get formed on the forehead, face and the neck, one can get a steam bath treatment over the areas infected by the black and white heads. Steam has the property to slowly reduce the stiffness of black and white heads. Thus they become smaller in size and after repeated steam application, thy get removed completely. Again these black and white heads might leave some marks on the face of the person, thus the type of treatment varies depending on the intensity of the acne and choosing the right treatment is very important.
