Acne keeps breaking out...

I don't know what the problem is.

Hello, this is Baek Doo-san from Cheongju Forever Clinic.

During the summer, many people particularly struggle with acne concerns.

Why does acne, which improves with various treatments but then worsens again, keep recurring?

Today, I will easily explain everything from the causes to the treatment sequence and management methods that you must practice in your daily life.

Why does it occur

and how does it worsen?

It's not simply because there's too much sebum on the skin's surface.

When the sebaceous glands connected to the sweat glands secrete excessively, sebum accumulates in the pores. At this time, dead skin cells also accumulate and block the passage.

This leads to inflammation as the sebum oxidizes upon contact with air or bacteria multiply.

The habit of squeezing or touching

must be avoided.

When you see a pimple, you might feel an urge to squeeze it with your hands.

Especially with pustular acne that appears white, it might seem like it will disappear quickly if squeezed immediately.

However, the problem starts beneath the skin, unseen.

If squeezed improperly, the inflammation can deepen or spread to surrounding tissues, making treatment more difficult.

Furthermore, the area that has been strongly irritated

can easily lead to scars or pigmentation,

creating bigger long-term concerns.

Therefore, it is best to avoid squeezing without professional medical help.

The approach must differ

depending on the skin condition.

In dermatology departments and various medical institutions in Cheongju Yullyang-dong, different methods are used depending on the stage and condition of the acne.

Especially when inflammation is ongoing, treatment to quickly calm it down is key.

For early stages, extraction, scaling, or skin care alone can bring some improvement, but if it has already progressed significantly, complex treatments are essential.

PDT is mainly used to suppress bacteria

and reduce inflammatory responses,

while LDM or Cryosel helps

to calm and promote recovery.

For those with excessive sebum production, laser treatment for sebaceous glands may also be combined.

Rather than using a single device, treatments are typically combined appropriately according to the skin condition. Adjusting the interval and intensity based on individual differences can lead to more satisfactory results.

The important thing is to

improve lifestyle habits as well.

Acne management is not just about treatment at a dermatology clinic in Cheongju Yullyang-dong.

If habits that cause or worsen

breakouts persist in daily life,

positive results will not last long.

For example, frequent consumption of sweet and salty foods can increase insulin secretion, stimulating the sebaceous glands and intensifying inflammatory responses, which can worsen acne.

Therefore, it is advisable to gradually reduce intake of high-sugar snacks and flour-based foods.

Additionally, irregular sleep or poor sleep quality can impair regeneration and weaken immunity, making acne prone to recurrence.

Try reducing smartphone use before bed and maintaining regular sleep hours.

Cleansing habits are also important.

However, washing your face too often or too vigorously can damage the skin barrier and make it more sensitive. Therefore, use a mild cleanser and apply a moisturizer sufficiently afterward to maintain hydration.

Finally, it is essential to apply sunscreen even on cloudy days, and it is advisable to check if cosmetics are non-comedogenic, meaning they do not clog pores.

It is more important to manage acne long-term to prevent recurrence than to eliminate it in a short period.

To achieve this, accurate diagnosis of the current condition and efforts to coordinate overall lifestyle, not just treatment, must be combined.

Are you currently looking for a dermatology clinic in Cheongju Yullyang-dong for acne treatment?

Choose a medical institution that provides not only procedures but also precise diagnosis, thorough consultation, and guidance on post-treatment care.

Most importantly, it is crucial to accurately understand your skin and consistently manage it accordingly. Thank you.
