Management of Acne
|
- Avoid excessively humid conditions such as a sauna, working in an unventilated kitchen or tropical vacations
- Follow a low-glycaemic, low-protein and low-dairy diet. Avoid protein or amino acid supplements, particularly if they contain leucine. ie) Raw egg white, Soy protein, Dairy products, Nuts, Meat. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables
- Stop smoking as nicotine increases sebum retention and increased scale within the follicles, forming comedones
- Minimise the application of oils and cosmetics to the affected skin.
- Abrasive skin treatments can aggravate both comedones and inflammatory lesions
- Try not to scratch or pick the spots
- Exposure to sunlight filtered through window glass may help
- To avoid sunburn, protect your skin outdoors using a sunscreen and protective clothing
