Nodular Acne

By: shawn parker Home | Health-and-Fitness | Beauty


Nodular Acne is recognized and characterized by blocking oil glands that often produce inflamed skin and irritated tissue. Nodular Acne is much different from the simple pimple or whitehead however if these simple forms of acne are not treated properly they eventually graduate to Nodular Acne. Be aware that sometimes nodules appear close to cysts and this is what the source to Nodular Acne is. This kind of acne is not only very unattractive it is also very painful in most cases.

What are the best treatments for Nodular Acne?

The first thing you should know is that if you think you have Nodular Acne you should in no way, shape or forum try self medication or treatment. It is crucial that you seek out the advice of a licensed dermatologist for proper diagnosis and care. The most efficient way to conquer this disease is to catch it in its early stages. This will save your skin from scarring and possible infection. If you do carry an infection you are most likely to receive antibiotics from your doctor. This not only kills the infection, it also helps further outbreaks that may happen.

Some patients don't respond to antibiotics. In these cases a doctor normally prescribes Isotretinoin. This is an oral medication that is taken 1-2 times per day and can last as long as 15-20 weeks. Isotretinoin is a very powerful medication but it does have its side effects. Isotretinoin is NOT prescribed to women because it has been known to cause birth defects. Isotretinoin is also known to cause itching, mouth and skin dryness, muscle aches and nosebleeds. If you do have to use this medicine take extreme caution and contact your doctor right away if you have any abnormal symptoms.

If you happen to be one of the unlucky people that have to undergo treatment, make sure you follow exactly what the doctor tells you, especially if they instruct you to take antibiotics. It's imperative that you complete the whole treatment in order to receive the best results. You can count on using special formulated soaps and facial washes as well as laser therapy.

Nodular Acne is like cancer in the sense that they cannot find the root cause of this annoying disease which makes a permanent cure unlikely. That doesn't mean that you have to be a victim of Nodular Acne. There are numerous options for the treatment of nodular acne and with the help of a doctor, it can be conquered.
