Severe
forms or acne affects few people. However, they present
great hardship to the people who suffer.
They are extremely disfiguring and can cause
psychological effects on the sufferer.
Acne
conglobata is
a chronic and severe form of acne vulgaris (common
acne). It
is usually characterized by deep abscesses, severe
inflammation, severe damage to the skin, scarring,
blackheads are usually conspicuous and widespread.
It often appears on the face, chest, back,
thighs, upper arms and buttocks. It usually affects
those whose age is between 18-30 years old.
In
acne conglobata, inflammatory nodules form around
multiple comedones, gradually increasing in size until
they break down and discharge pus. Deep ulcers may form
under the nodules, leading to keloid-type scars, and
crusts may form over deeply ulcerated nodules
Acne conglobata may be preceded by acne cyst,
papules or
pustules that do not heal, but instead rapidly
deteriorate. Occasionally, acne conglobata flares up in
acne that had been dormant for many years.
Acne
fulminans
is a sudden onset of
highly destructive inflammation, which normally afflicts
young men. Symptoms of severe nodulocystic, often ulcerating acne,
aching joints and fever are apparent.
It may result from unsuccessful treatment of acne
conglobata. It
does not respond well to antibiotics, so accutane and
oral steroids are normally prescribed. Corticosteroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
medications may be given to reduce inflammation. Attacks
of acne fulminans may recur, and the patient may develop
acne that requires long-term treatment with isotretinoin.
Gram-negative
folliculitis is a complication of abused and long- term use of
antibiotic. Patients
with this type of acne are usually treated with accutane
since it is known to be effective against gram- negative
bacteria. The
word “Gram” refers to a blue stain used in
laboratories to detect microscopic organisms. Certain
bacteria do not stain blue and are called “Gram
negative.”
Pyoderma
faciale is the type of acne that affects females mainly
belonging to the 20-40 age groups. It is confined to the
face, appears
suddenly as both deep and superficial cystic lesions of
the face with interconnecting "tunnels"
between cysts, reddish inflammation of the skin, and
slight swelling (edema) of the skin, rarely persists more
than a year or so, and is not associated with oily skin.
Severe types of acne
cannot be remedied at home.
Take my word or it.
Go and see your doctor or dermatologist before
your condition worsen.
Remember that beautiful skin reflects
satisfactory health.
