Excoriated Acne May Be The One You Are Suffering From |
|
The literal meaning of 'excoriate' is to
scratch the skin. If a person spends hours in front of the mirror,
trying to squeeze and nail every blemish, the condition is termed as
excoriated acne. It often leads to permanent scarring. It is found more
in females than males of all age groups. It generally occurs on the
face, chest and back.
Management
1. Keep your hands
off the pimples so as to cause minimum damage.
2. Try to keep your
skin clean.
Medication
Oral
Isotretinoin is helpful in curing excoriated acne. Apart from this, the
patient may also need to take some antidepressants because to cure it
solely, psychological aid is also required. It prevents the patient from
squeezing the blemishes further.
There are also other types of
mild to moderate acne that can attack you. Although there is not much of
hullabaloo attached to these mild forms, timely treatment is always
recommended to avoid further complications.
