Question

How to clear acne around mouth and chin? I'm 21 years old. I've started dealing with acne around my mouth and on my chin. The ones around my mouth seem to be cystic acne and i've never had this before. The ones on my chin hurt, dry fast and crack and blee

Answer 1

Brachial plexus: Your hidradenitis suppurative / acne inversa is surrounding one of the nerves in your brachial plexus and trapping it in fibrous tissue. That's what i'd bet anyway, i've seen it. This is a very difficult management problem and you need specialist care; ask about anti-tnf agents.

Answer 2

Benzoyl peroxide: Most of the OTC skin products for acne are safe in pregnancy. Simple soap and water works great, as long as you understand that the high Progesterone levels in the first trimester are the cause for acne -- by the end of the third month, most major flare-ups are over.

Answer 3

Skin care: Seek the advice of a dermatologist for a good non-medicated skin care regiment.

Answer 4

Yes: White heads and black heads are typically called closed and open comedomes. It is a type of acne and can typically be treated with topical keratolytics like tretinoin or salicylic acid.

Answer 5

Yes: Whiteheads and blackheads are one type of acne called comedones. They are caused by oil and dead skin cells which leave a plug below the skin. These are best treated with comedolytics (medications that open up the pores), such as retina, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acids. Other types of acne include inflammatory acne (red pimples) and cystic acne-- these respond best to oral medications.

Answer 6

More than likely: Acne is a common newborn skin condition that resolves in approximately 2-3 weeks. Don't use any over-the-counter acne treatment.

Answer 7

Possibly: It could also be milia - tiny white bumps on newborn skin. Acne tends to develop a few weeks after birth, while milia are often present at birth. Milia are thought to be due to premature or blocked sebaceous (oil) glands. There is no need for treatment, they will disappear naturally.

Answer 8

Possibly.: The good news is that most neonatal acne resolves spontaneously.

Answer 9

No: They are called milia. Some call them baby pimples but this is a misnomer since they are not true pimples, they are not caused by a bacterial.. They are usually small skin cysts or tiny fluid filled bumps.

Answer 10

Depends on the cause: Many ovaries can harbour small cysts of unclincal significance. However, persistent cysts in the presence of irregular menses may indicate a hormonal imbalance. Check with your doctor if further testes are needed.

Answer 11

Expected: Monthly ovarian cysts are what we look for when evaluating women for infertility. Ovarian follicles (cysts) need to be present for ovulation to occur & we check for a dominant follicle as good presumptive evidence of fertility. On the flip side, absent follicles or to many (polycystic ovary - pco) are more problematic and usually require medical or surgical intervention. Take care.

Answer 12

This is not the same: You are referring to photodynamic therapy treatment for acne. We do not use this type of light therapy in dentistry. There are special lasers to treat oral conditions, but not the same.

Answer 13

Wavelength Important: Lasers are monochromatic which means they emit a single pure color. Most studies show that lasers in the 720 to 920 nanometer range (red & near infrared colors) can provide biostimulation and low level light therapy. Search lllt on internet for scientific studies. Erbium yag & ysgg lasers in the 2000 to 2300 nm far infrared range have been used to treat periodontal bone loss & reduce pockets.

Answer 14

No: If the blue light is a source of uv radiation it would only burn your gums.
