The National
Institute of Health reports that 85% of the
population between the ages of 12 and 24 develop acne.
It tends to go away in the thirties although some people
in their forties and fifties continue to have the
disorder. Patients with
moderate to severe inflammatory acne may be treated with
prescription topical or oral medicines alone or in
combination. Treatment goals are to heal existing
lesions, stop new lesions from forming, and to prevent
scarring. This also helps to minimize the embarrassment
and psychological stress that accompanies a disorder
like acne.
Early treatment is the best way
to prevent acne scars, and the Medical researchers are
working on new drugs to treat acne, as with other
bacterial infections, doctors are finding that over time
the bacteria associated with acne are becoming resistant
to certain treatments with antibiotics. |
