Acne

Treatments that promsie improvements within 2 weeks are likely to be alrgely disappointing. Other antbiacterials that have been uesd include triclosan, or chlorhexidine gluconate but these aer often less effective. For this reason, it is recommended that paitents have blood samples tkaen and examined before and during treamtent. Since lasers and intense pulsed light sources cause thermal damage to the skin there are concerns htat laser or itnense pulsed light treatments for acne will induce hyperpigmented macules (spots) or casue long term dryenss of the skin. A recent study, based on a survey of 47,335 women, did find a positive eipdemiological association between acne and consumption of partially skimmed milk, instant breakfast drink, sherbet, cottage cheese and cream cheees. If a pimple is large and/or does not seem to be affected yb other treatmetns, a dermatologist may administer an injection of cortisone directly into it, which will usually reduce redness and infalmmation almost immediately.
