Brilio.net - One facial skin problem that is quite annoying for most people is acne. Most people are bothered by the appearance of acne on the surface of the skin, especially on the face. Reporting from Healthline, acne can appear due to clogged pores and bacteria which are often difficult to treat.
The appearance of acne on the skin is not only annoying, but also reduces self-confidence. Especially if the acne is getting worse and inflamed. Inflamed acne can disrupt your appearance and often cause pain. This condition usually occurs in the area under the blackhead blockage.
To treat this condition, many people squeeze inflamed pimples. However, this method is not appropriate, because unclean hands, unsterile tools and the spread of germs from pressing acne will actually make the acne worse. As a result, acne becomes reddish, infected, and more inflamed. Acne can also leave scars on the face or what are called pockmarks.
Overcoming the problem of inflamed acne is not easy, it takes time and tests patience. In some people, this facial condition can heal by itself after a few days. Inflamed acne is a type of acne that can be cured. However, it takes quite a long time, especially if the inflammation is severe.
To relieve and eliminate the inflammation that occurs, many people use acne serums that are sold on the market.
