The surface of the pores is still closed and the rash looks white.Black acneWith the white acne progressing a little, the sebum rises and the surface of the pores opens, and when it comes in contact with the air, it oxidizes and the rash looks black.Red acneWith the black acne getting worse, the sebum grows and becomes inflamed, causing the rash to look reddish.Yellow acneWith the red acne getting worse, the rash looks yellow with suppuration and yellow pus.If left untreated, they may remain as lumps or may be repeatedly inflamed and left as crater-like acne scars with irregularities.Drugs used to treat acne (in the case of OHDr.)Observe the condition of acne and select the appropriate medicine mainly from oral medication and ointments.①Oral medicationAntibioticsAcne inflammation is caused by a bacterium called P. acnes, so antibiotics are used to treat acne with moderate to severe inflammation.OHDr. often prescribe vibramycin or faropen.②OintmentsAntibioticsAntibiotic ointments are used to treat acne with mild to severe inflammation.OHDr. often prescribes Zebiax lotion or Dalacin T gel.BepiogelBepiogel improves inflammatory acne by killing the acne-causing bacterium P. acnes.
