Forms of Noninflammatory Acne Treatment

Noninflammatory acne is usually an obstructive disease characterized by open and closed comedones. Therefore, the treatment consists of the removal of thses comedones and the prevention or reduction of the formation of new lesions. Open comedones, or blackheads, can be effectively expressed by direct pressure with a comedo extractor, a small metal scoop with a hole in the center. The hole is placed directly over the blackhead and pressure applied against the skin with a slight sliding movement across the skin. Closed comedones or whiteheads, cannot be removed easily with the extractor alone. The skin over the whitehead must be gently and superficially nicked with a small, sterile blade before extrusion with the comedo extractor.

There are a number of ways to prevent noninflammatory acne from developing which doubles as an effective treatment for loosening existing comedones. These options include:

1)	cleansing agents such as soaps and detergents
2)	astringents containing substances such as acohol or acetone
3)	creams, lotions, gels, etc.
4)	cryoslush therapy that freezes ths skin to induce peeling
5)	ultraviolet light treatment
6)	topical applications of vitamin A acid

Please note that these are only a full sampling of the options available. Each treatment may not necessarily be recommended by your physician or dermatologist. Most often their recommendation is a form of peeling agent or that in combination with one of the other options. Some dermatologists even suggest frequent shampooing.
