Acne is a common skin problem faced by almost every human being regardless of gender and age. These bumps, usually red and white in colour, can be inflammatory. These bumps impact one's aesthetics and many start losing their confidence. But the good thing is that acne is treatable.

To avoid acne and correct the skin affected by acne, tips have been shared by various skin doctors like Dr. Rasya Dixit, dedicated to providing effective acne treatment in Bangalore. By taking insights from those doctors, this blog is going to share six best tips for the management of teen acne.

What is Teen Acne?

Teen acne is hormonal acne. These bumps are caused by hormonal changes during the phase of puberty and till the age of 20.  

Types of Teen Acne  

• Papules, Pustules, or Nodules- These are the bumps filled with fluid and pus.
• Blackheads & Whiteheads- These are the pockets of dirt and impurities that impact the hair follicles.
• Inflammatory Acne- These are the painful and contagious bumps. 

Causes of Teen Acne   

• Hormonal Imbalance
• Poor diet- oily and street food
• Poor skincare
• Lack of water 

Tips to Treat Acne

Primarily tips to treat acne are as follows:

• Wash the hair twice a day
• Avoid the use of oil-based cosmetics
• Avoid taking spicy, oily, and street food
• Take food-rich vitamins C & E
• Use blood purifiers
• Use of skin toner to extract the dirt and impurities from the skin   

The above-mentioned acne removal treatments require dedication and consistency to treat the acne. However, there might be a possibility that the candidate is unable to get the desired outcome or acne leaves scars back off it. In such circumstances, clinically approved acne removal treatments are advised. 

Acne Removal Treatment

In general acne removal treatments are as follows:

• Oral Medication

In this method, oral medications include antibiotics. These medications work to stop the formation of acne and correct the existing one.

• Topical Medication

In addition to oral medication, cream, face wash, and lotion may be prescribed. The combination of both oral and topical medication speeds up the recovery phase and gives one the most satisfying outcomes.

• Chemical Peel

It is an acne removal therapy in which chemicals-salicylic and glycolic acids are typically used to extract the dirt and impurities from the skin pores. Chemical peel is a multiple-session-based therapy that starts giving results from the very first session.

• Photofacial

It is another advanced Q-YAG laser-based treatment. In this method, laser lights target the dermal layer and correct the cells forming acne.
