Forms of Inflammatory Acne Treatment
Inflammatory is the most serious form of acne and may require
the following invasive techniques to produce positive results:
| 1) |
surgical techniques such as incision and drainage
of cystic or pustular lesions and the injection of anti-inflammatory
intralesional injection of corticosteriods |
| 2) |
chemotherapy, including long-term administration of antibiotic
agents, especially the tetracyclines, short-term therapy with
corticosteroids, and estrogen-progestin therapy in a cyclic
routine |
| 3) |
dermabrasion (abrading the skin with a high speed rotating
wire brush or steel abrasive wheel after the skin has been
hardened and anesthetized with a refrigerant) in selected individuals |
Now obviously these methods are not for everyone and most people
with only a minor amount of inflammatory acne will merely be put
on a tight diet and cleansing regimen or provided with a prescription
such as Accutane (see review).
