Anyone who suffers from spots on their skin is likely to find it difficult. It can make people feel more self conscious. While it is often thought of as a condition that affects children and teenagers it can affect adults as well. However it is important to be aware of the type you have in order to get the appropriate acne treatment Worcester.

Before getting treatment it helps to know the version of the condition you have. The most common type is known as acne vulgaris. This is caused by excess oil in the skin. This then clogs the pores and it is this clogging that results in blackheads, whiteheads, cysts and so forth on the skin.

Whiteheads and blackheads are caused by oil and dead cells trapped beneath the skin. The difference is that when the oily mixture is exposed to oxygen it darkens the appearance of the mild acne. This is what then turns a whitehead into a blackhead. Neither of these will cause any inflammation.

The next and slightly more severe form of spot on the skin are pustules and papules. Pustules also tend to be more commonly referred to as pimples. In both cases they tend to occur as a result of inflammation on the skin and therefore tend to be more painful than whiteheads and blackheads.

The most severe form are cysts and nodules. They are larger than pustules and pimples. As well as the pain of inflammation they also tend to be full of pus. This then means that you are more likely to get scarring and it will take longer time to recover from them than other forms of acne.

Acne vulgaris can typically be dealt with using easily available products from high street stores. You can either get naturally based products containing ingredients such as aloe vera or look for products containing salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. The acid is used to clear away dead skin cells that clog the pores while the benzoyl peroxide removes the bad bacteria that exacerbates the condition.

If you think you may have acne rosacea then you should consult a dermatologist. They can prescribe antibiotics if necessary. In other cases they may use more specialist topical treatments or even laser treatment in order to reduce the appearance of physical symptoms and to help people feel more self confident even if the symptoms do not entirely disappear. In some cases a combination of topical applications, laser treatment and more common market products may the most appropriate way to reduce the sign of any symptoms.

There are a number of ways to find appropriate treatment in Worcester. As well as finding customer reviews of products that can reduce inflammation and clear pores you can also find information on specialist dermatologists in your local area. If you are concerned about your condition you should talk to your doctor to see if they could recommend a specialist dermatologist who can help you with your condition and allow you to find appropriate treatment. With a sensible approach you can find the best options to suit your long term skincare needs.
