Today, we will give answers to one of your of curiosities about the skin!

As there are too much interest in the skin and high understanding of the skin,

we will talk about skin problems that are usually confused.

Acne occurs in forehead, forehead, nose etc., places where a lot of sebum are secreted. Pustular acne and comedonal acne may appear together.  

Foliculitis is inflammation of hair follicles usually occurring at the chin, scalp, back of the neck or any place with vellus hair.

In case of acne, depending on the degree of symptoms, extrusion treatment and

treatment to eliminate excess keratin is proceeded to enhance the excretion of acne. If inflammation is severe, antibiotics is prescribed, and if sebum secretion is excessive, a sebum control agent is prescribed along with the treatment.

Foliculitis resembles acne, but it differs from acne by the fact that foliculitis is the inflammation of sebaceous follicle. It appears as a round red spot with a body hair at the center. Antibiotics is prescribed for inflammation.

If the inflammatory response is severe, dermal injection treatment is given to relieve foliculitis, which is the same treatment that can be done for acne as well. 

2. Freckles and blemish

Freckles get darker in color and increase in number due to ultraviolet rays. It mostly appears in the early teens and gets darker in the summer and weakens in the winter.

Blemish occurs over the late 20s to 30s and regardless of the amount of ultraviolet radiation, it has the same color throughout the year.

Freckles and blemish can be improved by laser treatment, which targets melanin, inducing scab to form and heal again. 

3.Milium and flat wart 

Milium is the same color as the skin, protruding small like a millet, with white grains. Sometimes it is misunderstood as acne, but it is a very small bump called the water wart under the eyes.

Milium does not cause pain, itchiness or inflammation. However it does not disappear spontaneously, and can be removed only by lasal treatment.

Flat warts are caused by viral infections and spread very quickly.

Sometimes it is almost the same as the color of the skin or brown, and it may increase in size. Although flat wart is usually asy

mptomatic, it has occasional itching symptoms.

In case of scratching by hand, there may be bleeding, so it is advisable to remove flat wart with laser treatment

4. mole and blackhead.

Mole is formed by overgrowth of melanocytes and as time passes, it protuberates.

There is a part that can be removed by a single treatment. However since there is a root in moles, most of the times, retreatment is necessary.

Black head appears in places where there’s a lot of sebum secretion such as nose or pore portion in the face.

Sebum is oxidized by air and becomes black., which becomes blackhead. If dead keratin, waste, and sebum accumulation is not removed from the pore, it may cause pore expansion.

Blackhead can be treated by applying a home care patch or removing waste and sebum accumulation by treatment program at the clinic.

Clinic treatment program regulates the secretion of sebum and prevents pore expansion.
