Physical Treatments For Acne
Mild cases of acne can usually be treated by topical creams or ointments. Treatments for more severe cases can include oral antibiotics, ointments and physical treatments like drainage or chemical peels.
Physical treatments must be done by a dermatologist. While popping your pimples does qualify as a physical treatments, it certainly isn’t recommended. It can cause the bacteria that causes acne to spread and could lead to scarring. Physical treatments administered by a professional under controlled conditions will be less risky and more effective.
