Inflammatory acne can be caused by many factors. The main ones are bacterial growth, excess oil on the skin that clogs pores, hormonal changes, or skin irritation from using cosmetics.

Tips to reduce acne quickly

1. Do not squeeze pimples

Avoid picking or squeezing pimples, even though it may be tempting for some people. This can not only make the pimple worse, but it can also lead to scarring.

2. Cold compress

Use a soft towel wrapped in ice and apply it to the affected area for a few minutes. This helps constrict blood vessels and significantly reduces swelling and redness.

3. Anti-inflammatory mask

Clay masks or masks containing soothing ingredients like green tea extract can draw out impurities and reduce inflammation.

4. Home treatment

Products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid are helpful in reducing acne-causing bacteria. For large, painful pimples, you may consider using topical hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation.

Daily skin care to avoid acne

A gentle daily skin care routine also helps maintain healthy skin and reduces the risk of inflammation that causes acne.

You can choose water-based or non-comedogenic makeup and skin care products as they are less likely to clog pores and cause breakouts.

In particular, you should not wear makeup at night, do not squeeze or scratch pimples. At the same time, tie your hair neatly or keep it away from your face to avoid oil sticking to your skin.

Inflammatory acne can be very uncomfortable, but you can control it with natural and scientific methods. If acne persists or gets worse, see a dermatologist for timely and effective treatment.
