Face Mapping For Acne

Video Description

Face mapping for acne can be extremely helpful when you are trying to determine what is the cause of your acne. Every bump or papule on the face is NOT acne and therefore wont respond to acne treatment. For example tiny bumps on the forehead can actually be Pityriasis Folliculitis aka Fungal Acne and best responds to antifungal medicine like Nizoral. A common cause of acne that involves the hairline is pomade acne. Pomade acne results from hair products. Enlarged oil glands on the forehead can result in another acne mimicker called sebaceous hyperplasia. Small bumps under the eyes can be milia or syringomas. Breaking out on the nose with papules and pustules may actually be rosacea which responds well to azelaic acid. I recommend The Ordinary or the Inkey azelaic acid as they have a good strength of medication and are inexpensive. Small bumps located around the mouth are frequently perioral dermatitis. The most common culprit is Fluorinated toothpaste and comedogenic make-up. Chin strap acne can result from athlete gear and greatly improves with proper hygiene and Benzoyl Peroxide. And Lastly Acne like papules, pustles and cyst on the neck in the beard area and neck may be Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (PFB). The best treatment for PFB is laser hair removal. Sulfacleanse will help to keep flairs at bay. Acne skin mapping can help you better understand why you are breaking out in certain areas and the best treatment options. A trip to the dermatologist will best help to fine tune any acne regimen that is not responding to the above treatments.
