You will not find anybody who ever loved acne except doctors who get money by treating it. Acne is not a life threatening disease but it can make life very bad. It may destroy a person psychologically. Look for somebody whose face is full of spots and talk to them. You will know the pain that person undergoes. Relationships are not formed, careers are spoiled and life becomes unbearable for the person who suffers from case of bad infected acne. What is the way out?
Many medications are available to treat acne. The problem is not that medication is not available. The problem is that one who suffers acne wants immediate treatment. No medication gives immediate result. Therefore people rapidly change the medication . They further spoil the acne with that. The need is - treat acne at mild and/or moderate stage with a proven medication and be patient. Azelaic Acid is one such medication.
What is the effect of Azelaic Acid?
You get cream and gel formulated with Azelaic Acid. Azelaic Acid treats acne in two ways. It kills the bacteria P. acnes and it regularizes the excess shedding of skin cells that block the gland opening and cause acne. With these two actions, Azelaic Acid treats infected acne and stops further acne formation by opening the pores. Once the pores are opened, the sebum flows out and acne does not form.
Acne- Causes Of acne-
Acne forms at the opening of the sebaceous glands that have hair follicle in them. In normal circumstances, the cells that form the wall of the gland exfoliate from the pore opening. In case of an acne patient, these cells become dysfunctional and instead of exfoliating normally, block the pore opening. As soon as the opening is blocked, the sebum starts filling in the gland and the bacteria P. acnes infects it. If acne is not stopped at this stage, the infection spreads deeper in the skin and causes scars. This stage is called- cysts and nodules. Azelaic Acid stops acne at the moderate stage itself and helps prevent acne becoming aggressive. Azelaic Acid is a proven medication for acne.
