There are many reasons that may cause acne on the skin, especially for friends in adolescence. Due to the overactive secretion function of the sebaceous glands and improper skin cleaning and care, it is easy to get varying degrees of acne on the forehead, corners of the mouth, etc. Let us learn about what methods should be used to effectively treat acne on the forehead. (1) Topical medications: Retinoic acid (retinoic acid cream, adapalene gel, tazarotene gel), benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics (clindamycin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol, etc.), azelaic acid, sulfur lotion, etc. (2) The first choice of oral antibiotics is tetracycline (minocycline, doxycycline, etc.), followed by macrolides (erythromycin). Avoid antibiotics commonly used to treat systemic infections such as levofloxacin. The course of antibiotics is usually 6 to 12 weeks. (3) Oral isotretinoin For severe acne, oral isotretinoin is the standard treatment and currently the most effective method for treating acne. The treatment course aims to achieve a minimum cumulative dose of 60 mg/kg. (4) Anti-androgen therapy, such as the oral contraceptive cyproterone acetate combined tablets, is suitable for female patients with moderate to severe acne accompanied by symptoms of excessive androgen levels (such as hirsutism, seborrhea, etc.) or polycystic ovary syndrome. Female patients with delayed-onset acne and acne that is significantly aggravated before menstruation may also consider using oral contraceptives. (5) Oral glucocorticoids are mainly used for fulminant or aggregated acne, following the principles of short-term, low-dose, and combined with other methods. (6) For patients who cannot tolerate or are unwilling to receive drug treatment, physical therapy such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), fruit acid therapy, laser therapy, etc. can also be considered. Most of the time, acne on the forehead is related to endocrine disorders. Long-term unreasonable work and rest routines and bad eating habits can easily cause endocrine disorders, especially the habit of staying up late. Therefore, in order to effectively prevent acne, it is best to develop good living habits. |
