Hormonal Acne Breakout Treatment in Jupiter Florida Area

There are a lot of people who believe that acne is something that only impacts teenagers. Even though it can certainly be a rite of passage of puberty, it can affect people of any age. There are a lot of factors that influence the development of acne, and one of them involves hormones. Your hormones can significantly affect acne breakouts, so you should be familiar with the treatment options.

Topical Medications

If you are looking for hormonal breakout acne treatment in Jupiter, Florida, one of the first options is topical medicine. This includes creams, gels, and lotions that you may apply to acne areas when you get up in the morning or before you go to bed at night. Some topical medications are available over the counter, but others might need a prescription. Some of the active ingredients in these medications may include salicylic acid, tretinoin, and benzoyl peroxide. They can effectively dry up acne, but they could also dry out your skin, causing it to crack.

Oral Medications

Oral medicine can also be an effective treatment option if your acne is particularly severe. For example, your doctor may prescribe tetracycline, which can address acne caused by bacteria. They may also recommend birth control pills, which can help you modulate hormones that could be causing acne breakouts. One of the most popular options is isotretinoin, which targets your oil glands. That way, they don't produce as much oil, which can help you reduce your acne. There are plenty of options available, which is why you need to talk with a doctor who can discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each choice.

Medical Procedures

You may also want to speak with the doctor about medical procedures that can help you address hormonal acne. For example, drainage and extraction can be helpful for particularly large cysts on your skin. Your doctor can manually remove pus, dirt, and fluids that might be contributing to acne. And might even inject antibiotics directly into the cyst.

Laser therapy can also treat acne. Laser light can reduce the density of bacteria on the surface of your skin, helping you adFFess acne. Other options include chemical peels and microdermabrasion, which can remove whiteheads and blackheads directly. If you are curious about these treatment options, you should talk to a doctor about your situation.
