Acne Treatment in Mysore

Acne is a skin condition affecting people of all ages. Caused by hormonal imbalance in the body which leads to the overproduction of sebum. Sebum combined with dead skin cells, clogs up pores and hair follicles, leading to pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Acne can be mild to severe, with severe cases leading to cysts, nodules, and scars. Topical creams and gels reduce inflammation, unclog pores, and sebum production. Antibiotics may combat bacteria contributing to acne formation.  

Pre-procedure

Pre-procedure prepares the skin for the actual procedure and maximises the effectiveness of the treatment.

  • The first step is to ensure that no current medications interfere with the procedure. Any makeup, moisturisers, and other topical products have been removed from the area before treatment. 

  • The skin should be cleansed and exfoliated, removing dead skin cells and dirt, and allowing the procedure to penetrate deeper into the skin. Open lesions are to be duly taken care of. Visit Manipal Hospitals for acne treatment in Mysore.

  • Hydration before the procedure is important.  

Procedure

To treat acne, finding a routine that works best for you is essential. 

  • Gently wash the affected area twice daily with a mild cleanser. Avoid scrubbing when cleaning.

  • Topical acne treatments like creams, gels, and lotions are the next step. To know more, consult with experts at our dermatology hospital in Patiala.
