African Treatment Of Acne |
|
Pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and zits are
a problem for everybody and finding a cure is not at all easy. Well acne
can occur to anyone, anytime and Africans and other darker skin races
are no exception. In fact, African and other darker skin types represent
a particular clinical challenge for doctors treating acne because of the
higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin
patients as these pigmentary changes cause more concern than active acne
lesions. Acne vulgaris is one of the common condition found in African
people, worldwide. The acne treatment for dark population would target
the inflammatory process, resulting in hyperpigmentation. Acne in
Africans can be mild, severe and sometimes nodulocystic.
Some acne therapies for European patients are equally effective
in case of African patients as well. However, one ideal treatment has
specially been effective. It has been proved that 0.1 % of adapalene gel
is effective in treating or reducing the active lesions and acne
associated hyperpigmentation. Adapalene was effective in clearing
efficacy against both inflammatory and non inflammatory lesions. The
advantage of adapalene is that it is a well tolerated topical therapy
for African patients and it helps in preventing and alleviating acne
associated hyperpigmentation. African people can also take the help of
other treatments as prescribed by their doctor but the evidence of the
effectiveness of adapalene for acne treatment is clearly seen specially
in the case of Africans as it acts according to their skin composition.
Various
other acne treatment products are available for African patients like
blemish fix, deep purifying cleaner, calendula oil free cream, fruit
enzyme peel, and others. All these products help in the process of acne
treatment.
