Ointment for treating closed comedones

Closed comedones can cause great damage to the skin, because it is difficult to pick out such pimples and they need to be treated in a specialized skin hospital. There are also drugs for treating closed comedones, such as benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, etc. Before using these drugs, you should consult a regular doctor for advice.

Benzoyl peroxide

Benzoyl peroxide drugs have good antibacterial effects, and the use of this type of drug can effectively dissolve acne, accelerate skin metabolism, and are very effective in treating inflammatory acne.

Recommended ointments: Benzoyl peroxide gel, compound acne cream.

Precautions: Avoid contact with eyes, lips and oral mucosa; use with caution if you are allergic; there may be local adverse reactions such as mild itching, stinging, mild erythema and peeling, but it will not affect continued use of the medication.

Antibiotics

This type of drug is less irritating to the skin, so it can be effective for mild inflammatory acne. However, after repeated contact with drugs, bacteria may develop drug-resistant bacteria, which will reduce the efficacy of antibiotics or even make them ineffective. Therefore, it is recommended to use antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide topically together to reduce the occurrence of drug resistance and achieve the effect of effectively treating closed comedones.

Recommended ointments: Chlortetracycline ointment, erythromycin ointment, neomycin cream, and compound dexamethasone cream.

Precautions: Use with caution if you are allergic; stop using the drug if you experience stinging, redness, swelling, itching, etc., and clean the area where the drug is applied. If you still feel discomfort, consult a doctor immediately; pregnant women should use the drug with caution, and breastfeeding women should stop breastfeeding if they must use the drug.
