Acne is a very frequent inflammatory skin disease at all ages. Even though it is more common during puberty and usually decreases during the early twenties, it is not unusual for a person in his late thirties or forties to still have it. Fortunately, almost any acne case can be treated. The key for treating and preventing acne problems is following a few basic guidelines. You have to keep in mind that resolution takes time, what works for someone else may not work for you and in some cases you might need a dermatologist.
Resolution Takes Time
Don't get fooled by medications that claim miraculous, overnight results. Generally, the first effects can be noticed after 6 to 8 weeks. After you have achieved some results, you need to continue treatment to prevent acne from reappearing. If you don't notice anything different after 8 weeks, the treatment probably needs some adjustments.
What Works For Someone Else May Not Work For You
If one of your friends recommends you an acne treatment that has done wonders on him, don't expect it to have the exact same effects on you. You need to follow a treatment that fits your skin type. There are also several types of acne, each requiring a different treatment. The choice you make should be based on your skin type, the causes of the acne problems and the lesions you have at the moment. |

You Might Need A Dermatologist
Given the fact that there are many factors that may lead to acne problems, deciding which treatment would work best for you is sometimes a tough call. There's a wide range of acne treatment products available on the market nowadays and if you don't choose wisely, you might even get the opposite of what you had expected. This is why it is sometimes best to seek professional help.
Dermatologists have the necessary knowledge to examine your skin type and what sort of acne you suffer from. Before prescribing a treatment, they take many things into account, such as how severe the problem is, the type of lesions you have, as well as your age, lifestyle, motivation and skin type. Based on these factors they create an individualized acne treatment to fit your specific characteristics.
