Almost everyone who suffers from acne thinks that they have bad acne! Acne is not fun and even minor cases of pimples and zits can be viewed as bad acne by the patient. However, a really serious case of acne is much more than a few red bumps on the skin; it can manifest itself in pustules, infections and painful sores that cause ugly scarring long after the acne clears up.
For many people, acne is a passing inconvenience. Some women get an occasional blemish at a certain point during their menstrual cycle. Others suffer from more pimples as they go through puberty. But for many other sufferers, bad acne starts early and lasts for a larger portion of their lives, causing embarrassment for the patient, and even physical pain as the pimples become cystic and get infected.
Bad acne usually needs the attention of a medical doctor. There are treatment options for people who suffer from severe acne, and those options may include oral antibiotics that help to kill the bacteria from the inside, or topical treatments that dry out the skin and kill the bacteria in the pimples. Other people use over the counter cleansers, facial masks and spot treatments with varying levels of success. If you have severe acne, make a visit to a dermatologist to discover the best treatment options for you.
