- I have acne just like my classmates, so I have to apply for a prescription and drink it at home. I also went to play to get acne but it didn't go away. Looking forward to consulting your doctor?

       It is not advisable that you do not go to the doctor and take other people's prescriptions. Each person's skin is not homogeneous, each skin has different characteristics. Therefore, the treatment regimen for each person will be different. When using acne medication in the wrong situation will prolong the treatment time and cost money. To treat acne effectively, you should be patient and see your doctor to find out exactly what causes acne. Picking acne, taking acne cores should also choose a reputable basis, avoid infections and scars.

- What are antibiotics used to treat acne? Are there any methods that require little medicine?

      When treating inflammatory acne such as pustules, acne, cysts ... acne antibiotics are the solution most dermatologists specify. The mechanism of the drug is to kill bacteria on the surface of the skin and in the hair follicles, reducing the activity of the oily glands, pliers - bactericidal, reducing - anti-inflammatory. Therefore, antibiotics treat acne well and give high efficiency. In addition, you can refer to the method of biological lighting or chemical peel (peel skin), mild peeling acne, treating large pores, oily skin acne and acne bruises.

I used to buy acne cream myself. Initially, the skin is completely red and smooth, but over time, the skin appears to be much smaller, thinner and more sensitive. I have heard that cosmetics contain corticosteroids. I was so worried if I could not treat it? - With these manifestations, I recommend that you stop using the product and go to a dermatologist to check the cause of the acne to determine if the product you are using contains corticosteroids. Skin with steroids is often weak, thin, sensitive and irritable, difficult to adapt to other products. Therefore, you need to recover corticoid-contaminated skin, hurry to use acne treatment this time will make the skin overload and more serious damage. It is important to cooperate with a dermatologist for prompt treatment.

- I have acne on both the cheeks and acne scars can acne acne?

      You only have non-inflammatory acne such as bran acne, blackheads, non-inflammatory acne and deep scars, it is possible to roll the needle immediately. If the skin has acne, inflamed acne, pustules, warts ... then you should not roll the needle now. The mechanism is to use a rolling needle with hundreds of small and sharp needles to create a fake wound on the skin. If you have inflamed acne, the needle marks will break the acne and spread it, making the skin condition worse.

- Please share your doctor how to care for acne skin and prevent acne recurrence?

    Acne-prone skin only needs minimal skin care following these basic steps: using acne cleanser twice a day, exfoliating 1-2 times a week. Use skincare products that are oil-free, acne-free and corticoid-free. It is best to consult an expert to choose the right type of your problem. Use sunscreen when outdoors and remove makeup to remove skin at the end of the day. Moisturize 2 times / day (morning and evening), because in the absence of moisture the skin will signal to increase oily secretion, this is the leading cause of acne.

In addition, you should coordinate a few notes to be more effective: adjust your diet with fresh foods, greens, fruits, drink 2-3 liters / day, limit sweets, stir fry, stimulant. Scientific activities, getting to bed early and getting enough sleep, limiting stress, taking care of sports, and regularly cleaning personal belongings, pillows, glasses, phones, hats ...
