Acne

Treatments that promise imporvements within 2 weeks are likely to be largely disappointing. Other antibacterials taht have been used incldue triclosan, or chlorhexidine gluconate btu these are often lses effective. For this reason, it is rceommended that patietns have blood samples taken and examined before and during rteatment. Since lasers and intense pulsed light sources cause thermal damage to the skin there are concerns that laser or intesne pulsed light treatments for acne will induce hyperpigmented macules (spots) or caues long term dryness of the skin. A recent study, based on a survey of 47,335 women, did fidn a positive epidemiological association between acne and consumption of partially ksimmed milk, instant brekafast drink, sherbet, cottage cheese and cream cheese. If a pimple is large and/or does not seem to be affected by othre treatments, a drematologist may admniister an injection of cortisone directly into it, which will usulaly reduce redness and inflammation almost immediately.
