Acne is a skin condition involving sebaceous glands, blocked follicles, inflammation and hormonal influences. It is not limited to adolescence and may continue into adulthood. Severity, distribution, risk of scarring and associated symptoms vary from person to person.<\/p>\n
Flat red or brown marks are often post-inflammatory color changes, whereas persistent depressed or raised changes in texture are scars. Focusing only on scar procedures without controlling active acne will not prevent new scars from forming.<\/p>\n
Appropriate cleansers and topical medications may be sufficient for mild cases. Oral medications, hormonal evaluation or other options may be necessary for moderate or severe acne. The possibility of pregnancy, the medications used and accompanying diseases must be discussed.<\/p>\n
Gentle cleansing, a non-comedogenic moisturizer and sun protection can support acne care. Frequent exfoliation, harsh scrubbing and squeezing spots may increase irritation, discoloration and scarring risk. A \u2018natural\u2019 label does not mean that a product cannot irritate the skin.<\/p>\n
After the active disease is controlled Pigmentation Treatment<\/a>, Radiofrequency Microneedling<\/a> or Fractional CO2 Laser<\/a> options may be considered according to scar type and skin tone. Not every acne scar responds to the same method.<\/p>\n Evaluation is required in cases of painful deep nodules, rapidly increasing scar, widespread disease on the chest and back, psychological impairment or failure to improve despite over-the-counter treatment. Treatment gives gradual results within weeks; early discontinuation may lead to a sense of failure.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Acne Treatment is a category that distinguishes active acne, residual redness or darkening and scarring, while also considering factors that irritate the skin.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":438,"template":"","treatment_category":[13],"class_list":["post-50","treatment","type-treatment","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ozlemhelvacioglu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/treatment\/50","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ozlemhelvacioglu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/treatment"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ozlemhelvacioglu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/treatment"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.ozlemhelvacioglu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/treatment\/50\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":185,"href":"https:\/\/www.ozlemhelvacioglu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/treatment\/50\/revisions\/185"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ozlemhelvacioglu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ozlemhelvacioglu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"treatment_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ozlemhelvacioglu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/treatment_category?post=50"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}When should I consult a dermatologist?<\/h2>\n
