Various: Dermatologists distinguish rounded, depressed, icepick, and hypertrophic/raised.

Question 5

what is the best treatment for body acne?

Accepted Answer

Few helpful tips: Acne forms when oil mixes with dead skin cells and clogs pores, creating a breeding ground for bacteria. Cleansing your skin daily with an anti-acne type of soap. Use a soft sponge and make sure you clean every part of your body -- including hard-to-reach areas such as your back. But don't cleanse more than twice a day. Exfoliate weekly to help prevent pores from becoming clogged

Question 8

Accepted Answer

None: It can be hard to look at your adorable baby with red bumps scattered across his cheeks and not want to "do" something about it. The good news is, it will go away on its own, usually by 4-6 months old. Do not apply any oils or lotions to your baby's face as this could aggravate his baby acne. Take heart, this will resolve without leaving a trace. Enjoy your precious baby.

Question 9

birth defects and others

Question 10

please describe a good acne treatment brand?

Accepted Answer

Benzoyl peroxide: This is your first line of treatment. If you do not have a good result in two weeks, get with your personal physician. It can be managed but not cured. Acne is a serious personal and professional liabilty, and is unrelated to lifestyle or hygiene. Do what you need to.
