5 Signs You Need a Prescription Acne Treatment
Acne is a skin condition that causes spots and pimples,especially on the face, shoulders, back, neck, chest, and upper arms.
It is the most common skin condition in the United States (U.S.),affecting up to 50 million Americans yearly.
It commonly occurs during puberty, when the sebaceous glands activate, but it can occur at any age.
The glands produce oil and are stimulated by male hormones produced by the adrenal glands in both males and females.
People often ignore these acne sign, until the problem becomes severe. It is important to be aware of these signs as addressing the problem early can save you from future complications.
How are you supposed to know when throwing money at drugstore face washes and expensive zit creams aren't going to work anymore and it's time to see a professional?.
Here are the early signs you need a prescription acne treatment.
01:02 Nothing you've tried has worked.
02:05 You have severe acne.
03:09 You're painfully self-conscious.
04:07 Your skin is beginning to scar.
05:06 You have acne on your back or chest.
Most people think that breaking out is limited to the teenage years, when everything seems to be soaked in humiliation. Sadly, the truth is, while the most prone people to get pimples and acne are teens, bad skin can haunt you through adulthood. Your acne may even be trying to tell you something important. You've likely spent a pretty penny investing in over-the-counter treatments for curing acne. Make sure you don't fall for any of these acne myths. Treatments shouldn't take more than four to six weeks to prove their magic, so if you've been relying on OTC acne products for several months and your acne hasn't improved, it's time to seek out something stronger.
Over-the-counter products are really best for treating or preventing minor breakouts. Severe acne is a whole different story, and many dermatologists recommend OTCs in conjunction with prescription acne therapies. Severe acne is distinguished with greater amounts of inflammation. You will have papules or red bumps on the skin, pustules (the whiteheads), comedones (little bumps across the skin's surface that aren't red and inflamed), nodules (large, inflamed lesions that feel like hard, painful lumps under the skin), or even cysts. Cystic acne is usually caused by hormonal imbalances, and it won't respond well to topical treatments.
If someone is self-conscious as a result of their breakouts, that alone is enough to justify treatment. Dermatologists won't critique your decision to seek help, so make an appointment. Have you ruled out these possible causes for your breakouts?. It may not be as bad as others' skin, but when even the little bit you have just won't quit, there's no shame in raising your hand for help. Some patients come to see me and with simple changes in stress management and diet, their skin can turn a corner.
Your acne may eventually fade, but the scars that come with it can be permanent—and that's a sign that you should act quickly. If you're noticing the skin starting to divot or raise above the surface, it's time to schedule an appointment with your dermatologist. The cause of acne scarring is usually the result of severely inflamed lesions. You'll want to begin using a prescription treatment immediately, otherwise you may have to use heavy-duty lasers down the line to combat those facial scars.
As if unsightly acne on the face isn't enough, if it has spread to your chest, back, or both, it's time to put down the OTCs and pick up the phone. Ever wondered what dermatologists notice about you? Sometimes body acne can be the simple result of not showering soon enough after excessive sweating. Try bathing a bit more often—if your back and chest acne persists, it's time to seek prescription treatment. Controlling this type of acne is tough to do with topical creams. You may need a combination of oral and topical prescription to treat it, says Dr. Bowe.
