Lakeview Dermatology - Chicago is entirely devoted to acne therapy. We have successfully treated many thousands of patients in Chicago and Suburbs over the years. Washing the affected areas more than once or twice daily will not prevent the germs from penetrating into the plugged oil glands. It will cause dryness, irritation and further plugging of the oil glands. Thus, excessive washing aggravates acne. Wash gently with Dove or Purpose soap, one or twice daily. Our acne treatment options are much wider than anything you have tried before. First, remember that acne starts in the oil gland which gets plugged when certain germs form a biofilm at its opening and plug it. The same germs then penetrate inside the plugged oil gland and digest the trapped oil. Finally, the immune system rejects the trapped, digested oil through pustules, nodules, cysts, etc. Our acne treatment is directed at removing the plugs, killing the germs that form the plugs and digest the trapped oil, reducing the inflammation and (by using certain lasers) shrinking the oil glands. During acne treatment, your skin may become irritated and need a moisturizer (oil free). Since the treatment aims both to clear acne and to prevent acne, you will have to use the prescribed products on a daily basis. Once clear, usually application of only a night cream usually will suffice to continue to keep your skin clear of acne.
