What is hair analysis? 

Hair Analysis is an examination for identifying problems in the hair or scalp, to find out the causes of these problems, or to identify possible problems that may arise in the future and to find solutions. A person who has undergone a hair analysis can obtain comprehensive information about their scalp and hair strands. Hair analysis determines hair type, hair quality, frequency of hair appearance, causes of hair loss, scalp problems and diseases. Depending on the problem that the person is experiencing, the applied analysis types may differ, it can be with or without a device.

How is hair analysis done?

Hair analysis can be done in several ways. The process of examining hair follicles, scalp, and hair strands with a device called a dermoscope by dermatologists is called trichoscopy. With this method, the image of the hair and scalp is magnified a hundred times. On a trichogram, a certain hair is pulled out, and the amount of hair and the condition of its roots are examined under a microscope.

In this way, the hair roots are analyzed microscopically. Through the hair analysis process, hair density, hair quality, skin type and problem, and the thickness and degree of hair loss can be determined. After examining and analyzing the hair, if the person suspects a systemic problem, the specialist doctor may additionally request some blood tests from the patient. It provides treatment based on the cause of hair loss, especially by addressing various hormonal problems or changes in vitamins, minerals and blood counts.

The dermatologist makes the diagnosis after analyzing the hair, and in intermediate cases, he may request a hair biopsy. On the other hand, a hair biopsy is the process of taking a piece of a hair follicle the size of a lentil from the surrounding skin by anesthetizing the problem area, including the hair roots. The biopsy taken is evaluated by the pathology laboratory, and a diagnosis is made based on its results. Medicated solutions, creams, and shampoos can be used to treat conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, and fungus.

What problems can be detected by hair analysis?

Vitiligo

Early diagnosis and treatment of vitiligo disease, which causes the formation of white spots on the skin, is very important in terms of the course of the disease.

What is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a skin disease. Small white patches appear on the skin. If the loss of color in the resulting skin grows, an aesthetically bad appearance emerges. It can appear on any part of the body, including the hair and mouth. Its density and size are unpredictable. Over time, it can spread to other areas of the body. The cells that give color to human skin produce melanin. The fact that melanin-producing cells stop working causes skin discoloration, that is, vitiligo. Although it is not a contagious and dangerous disease, the biggest problem of vitiligo is that it is not aesthetic in appearance. It causes loss of self-confidence, stress and anxiety.

Causes of Vitiligo

The main reason for the emergence of vitiligo is that the cells that produce melanin stop working. The exact cause is unknown. Often there is no underlying disease. However, it is known that its frequency increases in the presence of certain diseases. Conditions and diseases it may be associated with:

• Genetic causes
• Thyroid diseases
• diabetes
• Some anemia diseases
• Mental problems such as stress, depression,
• Psoriasis
• Sun and chemical burns can trigger the development of the disease.

What are the Vitiligo Types?

There are two known types of vitiligo. There are certain differences in these two types, which are called segmental and non-segmental.

The time of emergence in segmental vitiligo type is childhood. The segmental vitiligo type that occurs in childhood shows a segmental distribution in the body.

Non-segmental vitiligo, on the other hand, does not show segmental localization. It is usually seen on the back of the hands, around the eyes, in the elbow area, on the knees and feet.

How Is Vitiligo Diagnosed?

Early diagnosis and treatment method is very important in vitiligo disease. When you see obvious color differences and light colored spots on your skin, you should see a doctor immediately. The dermatologist examines the areas with spots during the examination. The definitive diagnosis is made with a special light called Wood. When this light is given to the area where the stain is, the appearance of the spots becomes sharper and more pronounced. This plays an important role in the analysis of stains. If the examining doctor notices a suspicious appearance, a biopsy may also be needed to find out if there is a serious disease. After the diagnosis of the disease is made, necessary drug therapy is started. In addition to drug treatment, stains can be removed with aesthetic interventions. People with vitiligo should go to constant control in the next period of diagnosis and should not forget the advice of their doctor.

What are the Treatment Methods in Vitiligo Disease?

There are certain treatment methods used in vitiligo disease. Which of these treatment methods will be chosen depends on the patient’s condition and the decision of the doctor. No treatment method can guarantee 100% cure in vitiligo treatment. If we list the treatment methods used in the disease;

• Medicines to reduce the spots on the skin,
• Phototherapy (also known as ultraviolet light therapy) is this method for other skin types such as psoriasis.

It is also used in the treatment of diseases. However, the positive result in this treatment method is unfortunately not one hundred percent. This treatment method is used for support purposes in addition to other treatment methods. When the desired result is achieved, the light therapy is terminated.

• Laser treatment applications called excimer,
• Cortisone treatment (This treatment must be applied systematically and correctly),
• Drug treatment called tacrolimus
• If the spots are very common, it is the depigmentation method for lightening the body’s own color. Depigmentation method treatment takes 1 year. As a result of this period, the result is both permanent and the probability of the disease to reoccur is very low.
• Surgical methods are the last methods used in the treatment of the disease. In cases that are stubborn and do not improve for many years, aesthetic treatments can be applied. In aesthetic treatment, the skin from different parts of the body with normal color is removed and transferred to the area where the disease manifests itself. Transplant treatment is not a very common method. In studies conducted, positive results have been seen in a very small proportion of people treated with this method.

Which of the above treatment methods will be applied at which stage should be decided by the specialist doctor. Usually, drug treatment is sufficient in the early diagnosis of the disease. However, other treatment methods are used in late diagnosis and later stages of the disease. In some patients, skin discoloration due to vitiligo is too much and common.

In such cases, the color of your own skin can be lightened and color equalization can be achieved (depigmentation treatment).

The psychological state of the patient should also be considered when treating the disease. Most patients may feel insecure and stressed due to the non-aesthetic condition that occurs in their appearance. In such cases, psychological treatment is also required.

Another method used in the treatment of vitiligo is the camouflage method. Closure can be done with make-up materials suitable for the stained area. There are concealer make-up materials that are special for vitiligo disease. People who have the disease can cover the spots on a daily basis with these make-up products. There are also long-lasting vitiligo make-up products for longer use. There is no treatment purpose in covering stains with make-up materials. The aim is only to minimize the appearance of stains and to make people feel better in the society. We have mentioned above the more effective treatment methods for vitiligo. With these methods, you can get more permanent results.

Herpes treatment is applied to control herpes that appear in certain parts of the body. There are some antiviral drugs that are good for herpes. Although these antivirals do not completely remove the virus that causes herpes from the body, they control the existing infection and ensure the eradication of the herpes. In order for herpes treatment to give positive results, it is necessary to consult a doctor at an early stage. In advanced cases, herpes treatment gives a delayed response.

What is herpes?

Herpes can occur due to more than one reason. It mostly occurs in the lips, nose and chin areas. Herpes is usually a bothersome skin problem. It is quite painful and can sometimes even make it difficult to talk and eat. Herpes is a common problem experienced by almost all people. It can be a sign of an infection in the body. One of the causes of herpes is the virus called herpes.

If herpes becomes inflamed, it becomes contagious. It spreads through skin contact. Sometimes, factors such as stress and hormonal changes affect herpes. These minor infections, which are a very irritating skin problem, usually go away on their own within a week. However, in very advanced cases, herpes should be taken under control with herpes treatment.

The virus that causes cold sores is a virus called herpes simplex. This virus causes painful sores called herpes on the lips, gums, tongue, mouth and inside of the cheek. Although rare, there are also side effects such as fever and muscle pain. This virus only affects humans. The virus named Herpes manifests itself in three stages after being infected in the body. These:

Primary infection: In the primary infection stage, the virus multiplies by entering the skin or mucous membrane. Therefore, effects such as sores or fever in the mouth may occur. The virus may not cause any wounds or symptoms. Therefore, the person may not realize that he has herpes. This is an asymptomatic infection.

Passive period: The virus passes from the infected area to the nerve tissue in the spine, called the dorsal root ganglion. It reproduces in this region and becomes passive.

Relapse: The virus becomes active again in a period when the person is faced with emotional or physical stresses, or in cases such as feverish illness or excessive sun exposure. Thus, new wounds and symptoms may occur.

What are the types of herpes virus?

Herpes virus types are divided into two. These are herpes simplex virus type-1 and herpes simplex virus type-2. Type-1 herpes infection mostly occurs in and around the mouth. It is also frequently seen in the tips of the fingers, gums and genital area. It can be transmitted by mouth or skin contact or by using personal belongings of infected people. This virus, which is usually passed from adults to children during childhood, settles in the body and shows symptoms in later ages.

Type-2 herpes infection is an infection that is usually seen in the genital area. The infected person may not show any symptoms. However, during sexual intercourse, the virus can easily be transmitted to another person through the genital or anal area. Similar to type-1 infection, herpes can spread to different parts of the body by contact in type-2 infection.

What causes herpes?

The most important cause of herpes is the virus called type-1 herpes. Type-2 herpes, on the other hand, occurs mostly in the genital area. However, both viruses can be found in the mouth and genital area. Many people become infected with type 1 hermes by the age of 20. In the first post-infection period, the virus goes into sleep mode in the nervous tissues of the face. In the following periods, it becomes active from time to time and causes recurrent infections. Even if there are no symptoms, the virus can easily be transmitted to others.

If the herpes wound is crusty and dry, it is not contagious. However, in the following periods, if a liquid starts to come from the herpes wound, then the herpes has become contagious. The virus that causes herpes is transmitted in the body through contact. At the same time, factors such as kissing and oral sex cause herpes to spread through the mouth. Apart from these, factors such as hormonal imbalances, fever, fatigue, emotional and physical stress, trauma to the skin and exposure to intense sunlight can also activate the virus that causes herpes and cause herpes. All these problems are solved with herpes treatment.

In which vitamin deficiency does herpes occur?

There is no one-to-one scientific connection between any vitamin deficiency and the development of herpes. However, it is known that some vitamins are very useful for the treatment of herpes. For the treatment of herpes, your doctor can give supportive vitamins and minerals.

How is herpes diagnosed?

Revealing clinical findings may be sufficient for the diagnosis of the disease. Infection caused by herpes virus can be diagnosed by a dermatologist with a naked eye.

In advanced cases and in pregnant or chronically low immune patients, a laboratory test may be required by taking a certain amount of herpes in order to increase the effectiveness of herpes treatment. In addition, various blood tests are commonly used to detect asymptomatic cases.

What are the symptoms of herpes?

– Watery blisters

– Fever

– Itching

– Tingling in the lips

– Dry and irritated skin on the lips or mouth

– Small blisters on the gums, lips, roof of the mouth and inner cheeks

– swollen lymph nodes

– muscle pain

– Redness

– Symptoms such as sore throat and headache may be seen.

In recurrent cases (usually 60 or 90 percent relapses), the patient may not notice the symptoms at all. Or mild itching and burning occurs. Afterwards, the blisters that collect water heal by crusting.

After the virus enters the body, it settles in the nerve ganglia and when it finds the appropriate environment, it mostly follows the nerve tissue from there and creates herpes on the skin.

What is the incubation period for herpes viruses?

The incubation period is the period of emergence of the effects of the disease after it has been acquired. Herpes viruses have an incubation period of 2 to 12 days.

How is herpes virus transmitted?

Herpes is one of the most common skin problems among infectious diseases. Viruses that reproduce in the genital area can spread after unprotected sexual intercourse. Herpes occurring in the mouth area and other areas are also transmitted by contact. In case of sharing personal belongings or contacting the infected area, the possibility of herpes transmission is very high.

Apart from all these, herpes can also occur in the body in cases such as hormonal changes, fear and stress.

How is herpes treatment applied? How does herpes pass?

With herpes treatment, herpes are usually controlled with pills or creams prescribed by a dermatologist and are eliminated from the body. Different antiviral and systemic drugs are effective for the treatment of herpes, depending on the period and severity of the infection. If you have frequent herpes attacks during the year, your dermatologist can apply suppression treatment, and it is aimed to stop herpes outbreak with suppression treatment.

The antiviral drugs used for herpes treatment applied in both types of infections are as follows:

– Acyclovir

– famciclovir

– valacyclovir

These drugs, which are usually in the form of creams, differ depending on which parts of the body the herpes symptoms occur.

Compliance with the doctor’s recommendations during the period when the symptoms appear will cause the herpes treatment process to work more positively and reduce the pain. In general, the following points should be considered for the treatment of herpes:

– To keep the herpes area clean and to keep that area dry

– Preferring clothes that do not cover the wound

It can be said that herpes around the mouth usually lasts between 1 and 3 weeks, and herpes in the genital area usually lasts between 2 and 6 weeks. This process may also differ according to the immune system of the person.

Does herpes completely go away from the body?

As soon as the herpes virus enters the body, it is not possible to be expelled from the body. After recovery, the virus settles in the nerve nodes and goes into sleep mode as if hibernating. With the decrease of the person’s immunity, sometimes the same or sometimes different lesions may occur in different regions.

The periods when the person is very stressed will recur when he has a fever, hormonal imbalances or excessive sun exposure. People with the herpes virus need to raise their immunity. Thus, by giving a positive response as a result of herpes treatment, the probability of not repeating the virus increases.

What are the ways to prevent herpes?

Avoiding contact with infected people and not using their personal belongings is one of the most effective methods of preventing herpes virus and infection. If these people infected with herpes virus have been in contact, cleaning the contact area under appropriate hygienic conditions will reduce the risk of transmission of the virus. Materials such as spoons, forks, knives and glasses used in common with people who have wounds around the mouth greatly increase the risk of contracting the virus. In addition to these, using personal products such as using make-up materials, using towels, etc. of infected people invites herpes virus. It is very important to be protected during sexual intercourse in order not to develop herpes in the genital area. People with herpes on their genitals should not have sexual intercourse.

The implementation of all these and the observance of these precautions are the most effective methods for the treatment of herpes.

What should be considered for genital herpes?

In general, both type-1 and type-2 can be taken into the body when the herpes simplex virus is infected.

In addition, it should not be forgotten that especially in viral herpes called type-2, it is transmitted to the body by contact, and it should be kept in mind that there may be other sexually transmitted diseases. On the other hand, other viruses that are as easily transmitted and dangerous as type-2 herpes virus can be transmitted from the same person (such as jaundice, AIDS, syphilis). For this reason, it is important to detect other sexually transmitted diseases through tests in people with type-2 herpes.

People infected with genital herpes usually do not have many symptoms. However, some people may experience the following symptoms:

– A tingling or stinging sensation in the genital area

– Small and painful red blisters in the genital area

– Wounds that look like redness or cracks on the genitals.

Nail fungus: It is a fungal infection that manifests itself with a whitish color in any or most of the fingernails and toenails and then turns yellow. Nail fungus infection spreads in the space between the nail and the skin. In other words, the infection progresses inside. It first appears as a white dot. Untreated, yellowing occurs, the white area of ​​the nail increases towards the bottom, and hardening of the nail edge meats occurs. If the fungus is left untreated, it begins to deepen inside the nail. When the deepening begins, the nail loses its health. The nail color will be yellowish, quite hard, and look bad. In addition, the skin around the nail begins to break down and become damaged. As the situation progresses, a bad image appears in the general appearance of the nail.

However, there is no definite information about whether this treatment method is effective or curative.

Nail Fungus Surgery

 Nail fungus surgery is a simple operation performed under local anesthesia. If the infection in the nails due to fungus has progressed and does not respond to drug treatment, the nail is completely removed by surgery. The aim here is to remove the nail to heal the fungus and allow the drug to directly contact the problem area. The surgery is a simple procedure, after which the new nail can take up to 6 months to come out completely.

As a result of the examination, the size of the fungus and for what reason it appeared will be determined more precisely. The treatment method to be applied should be selected according to the result. Incorrect drug use and treatment method can trigger the emergence of different diseases.

Nail Fungus Treatment

Nail fungus, like some other skin diseases, is a type of disease that can go away on its own. It is absolutely necessary to pay attention to regular use of drugs and personal hygiene.

In the treatment of nail fungus, drug therapy is usually applied. Oral, topical and antifungal drugs are used in drug treatment. Oral medications are aimed at the progression of the infection. Topical, that is, drugs applied directly to the nail, prevents the spread of the fungus and also helps to improve the deteriorated nail tissue. Antifungal drugs are drugs for cleaning the fungus. Depending on the way your doctor applies the treatment, the drugs mentioned above may be more effective when used together during the treatment period.

In addition, the layer accumulated on the nail should be cleaned with acetone every seven days and the use of the drug should be renewed.

Another treatment method is to thin the nail layer with a nail file after applying an anti-fungal cream. Here, the purpose of filing and thinning the nail is to allow the drug to reach the fungus more easily. In addition to thinning the nail, the nail can be pulled out completely so that the fungicide is in direct contact with the infection. If the infection has progressed and does not heal with drug treatment, it is recommended to remove the nail completely.

What is Ingrown Nail?

Ingrown nail; the nails grow towards the nail bed, creating a pressure and stinging sensation in the flesh. This condition is called ingrown toenails. The stinging of the corners and edges of the nails of the soft flesh part is painful, especially if it occurs on the toes. In most people with the problem, it manifests itself in the big toe. The embedding of the nail in the skin layer also causes the problem of inflammation. If the problem is not treated, serious infections and painful conditions can occur.

Causes of Ingrown Nails

The causes of ingrown nails vary from person to person. If we list the main reasons for the emergence of ingrown nails, which is a problem that can be seen in all ages and genders;

Using the wrong shoes is one of the most effective reasons. Especially women may prefer unhealthy shoes that are not comfortable for the sake of elegance and fashion. If the shoes are uncomfortable and unhealthy, all foot health, especially the nails, is affected.

When cutting nails, most people cut their corners deeply. This situation is also effective in the emergence of the problem of ingrown toenails.

Even if there is a great disproportion between the width of the nail bed and the size of the nail itself, ingrown nails can occur.

Cutting the nails curved or in different shapes to shape them also causes the problem to arise. Toenails should be cut as straight and straight as possible.

It can also occur due to situations such as accident, injury.

Ingrown nail problem can be seen due to nail shape disorders such as pincer nails.

The pressure of the nail towards the edges as a result of nail fungus also causes the problem.

The nail may fall off when it is hit or damaged. Due to such situations, the problem of stinging in the newly emerging nail may manifest itself.

Frequent and unhygienic manicure and pedicure is one of the most common causes of ingrown nails.

What are the Symptoms of Ingrown Nails?

Ingrown nail symptoms are usually visible and easily diagnosed by physical examination. The most common symptoms are:

• Redness at the edge of the nail,

It is important for your health to be examined and treated when you notice the symptoms so that your quality of life does not decrease.

Ingrown Nails in Babies and Children

Ingrown nail problem can also be seen in babies and young children. The biggest reason for this is the congenital problems of the nails due to genetic reasons. Especially the inward structure of the nails causes the problem of ingrown nails in babies and children. In addition, wearing very tight socks and shoes can cause ingrown nails in babies. In order for parents to prevent this problem, babies and children should take regular nail care, cut nails correctly, and stay away from tight shoes.

What Should Be Done to Prevent Ingrown Nails?

We can prevent the occurrence of ingrown nails with a few simple and regular maintenance that we will do in our daily life. To prevent nail ingrown;

Nails should be cut straight and kept short.

What are Ingrown Nail Treatment Methods?

In case of ingrown nails, if there is an infection, your doctor will plan a treatment for the healing of the infection in the first stage of the treatment. Before any intervention, the inflammation in the problem area should be dried and controlled. In some cases, operations such as cutting a part of the nail or pulling the entire nail can be applied depending on the severity of the nail ingrown.

Nail Removal Operation

After the area with the problematic nail is cleaned and then anesthetized, the procedure is started with special tools and scissors under the control of the doctor. A tourniquet is placed on the nail root of the finger where the nail is ingrown. The aim here is to operate comfortably and to ensure that the nail is pulled from the root. Since the toe is completely anesthetized, the patient does not feel pain during the operation. The ingrown part of the nail is removed with its root so that it does not recur. As a last step, acidic solution is applied to the problematic area where ingrown nails are experienced in order not to experience the same problem again, or a cautery device is used to destroy the nail root. It is an electrically heated device used for destruction of the nail root with cautery device. Finally, a bandage is put on the nail by dressing appropriately. In some cases, stitches can be applied if necessary to prevent enlargement of the nail root area and to prevent the nail ingrown problem again. The recovery period after treatment is usually 5-7 days. It is of great importance to listen to the doctor’s advice and not to wear narrow shoes during the healing process, and to use the prescribed medications.

Nail Wire Application

Nail wire application method is used to correct the problem in the nail with ingrown nail problem and to normalize the nail shape. Nail wire application is especially used to repair the defect and abnormal appearance of nail shapes. It also provides a more accurate and shaped extension of the nail. Nail wire logic and braces logic are almost the same. The purpose of both is to ensure that the newly erupted nail and tooth have a correct, shaped and healthy appearance. Attaching the wire to the nail is a very short and painless procedure. There is no contact between the skin on the edge of the nail and the nail wire. It only has contact with the nail tissue. After approximately 10 minutes of operation, the procedure is completed without any pain or ache.

Correct fitting of the nail wire is important. Otherwise, it creates a feeling of discomfort when you wear socks or shoes. It also prevents the shape of the nails from being correct. For these reasons, it should be installed professionally by experienced people. When fitted correctly, it allows you to wear your socks and shoes and do your daily activities without feeling pain.

Advantages of Nail Wire Application

There are some advantages of having wire implantation compared to having surgery. These;

• Nail removal surgery is painful and takes longer. Attaching a wire is a 10-minute procedure without the need for anesthesia and without pain and ache.
• It ensures that the nail where the nail is ingrown is corrected and extended in a healthier, shaped way.
• There is no need for any medication or dressing.
• It does not disturb any comfort when you wear socks or shoes. It doesn’t bother you.

Acne is a common skin problem in both men and women. It usually begins to form during adolescence. It is a skin condition that affects 85 out of every 100 young people. But it doesn’t just occur during adolescence. Acne, which is called adult type, is especially common after the age of 40. This type of acne is more common in women. The most obvious difference of these late acnes from those that occur in adolescence is that they are more resistant to treatment.

Acne formation corresponds to the age of 10-17 in adolescent girls and 14-19 years of age in boys. Men are more likely to get acne breakouts. Acne does not threaten health. However, pimples that start to appear during adolescence and continue to appear in later years can impair psychological health along with the appearance. If these acnes are not treated at the right time with an appropriate treatment method, they can turn into serious permanent scars and stains called scars.

When it comes to acne, the first thing that comes to mind is the face, but acne also occurs in different parts of the body other than the face. Apart from the face, acne usually occurs on the back, neck, chest, shoulders and upper arms. The excess of sebaceous glands in these areas invites the formation of acne. Normally, the oil secreted by these glands goes to the surface of the skin and is excreted from the body. But in adolescence, the sebaceous glands secrete more oil than necessary. Thus, the channels that allow this oil to pass to the skin surface are blocked. This accelerates the formation of acne.

What is acne?

Acne is a skin condition that occurs in hair follicles and areas of the body with sebaceous glands. The sebaceous glands secrete sebum to maintain the moisture balance of the skin. As the production continues as a result of the occlusion of the sebaceous glands, inflamed acne occurs as cysts and then infection. Acne is a very common health problem. Acne occurs in people of all races and ages. Not only in adolescence, but also in later ages, people can suffer from acne problems. But it is most common during adolescence. During puberty, androgen levels increase in both girls and boys. As a result, the sebaceous glands begin to produce more oil. Normally, sebum passes from the hair follicles to the skin. However, skin cells clog the follicles and sebum passage is blocked. When these follicles are clogged, the bacteria in the skin grows inside these follicles. Thus, acne formation begins.

Why does acne occur? What are the factors affecting acne formation?

The causes of acne formation vary from person to person. The hormonal level that changes during adolescence triggers the formation of acne. But in general, the appearance of acne on the body depends on genetic predisposition. The main factors affecting the formation of acne are as follows:

– Structural features

– Hormonal imbalances

– Extremely stressful life

– Increased sebum production

– Changes in the Hair Follicle

– Bacteria

– Oily skin structure

– Misuse of cosmetic products and some drugs used.

The most important factor affecting the formation of acne is the structural features. It is more common in people with a family history of severe acne. These people should benefit from early diagnosis and treatment. Apart from genetic features, an extremely stressful life, excessive and incorrect use of cosmetic products applied to the skin outside the doctor’s control, as well as hormonal changes invite the formation of acne. Fat secretion, which increases in the body, is also among other important factors. People with larger sebaceous glands are more likely to develop acne. Compared to other people with normal skin structure, more oil production is dominant in their bodies. Hormonal imbalances also play a prominent role in acne formation. Skin pores, which are smaller before puberty, reduce the production of sebaceous glands. However, during adolescence, these hormones change and increase in sebaceous glands. Thus, oil production increases and acne begins to form.

Cosmetic products that are used unconsciously without the supervision of a doctor also accelerate the formation of acne in the body. Especially these oil-based chemical products cause an increase in acnegenic mineral oils in the body. This triggers the formation of acne. Intense stressful life also causes acne breakouts. Air pollution and moisture imbalances in the air can also increase acne formation. Squeezing out the pimples or being harsh on the skin can also exacerbate the increase in acne and cause blemishes. In addition to these, backpacks and some sweaty clothes also irritate the skin and cause acne on the back.

Foods with a glycemic index can increase acne formation. Examples of this are foods that raise blood sugar quickly, such as chocolate, cola, fast food. Acne has no specific connection with liver or internal diseases.

What are the symptoms of acne?

Acne is a skin condition that can occur almost anywhere on the body, but mostly develops on the face, back, neck, chest and shoulders. Before acne starts, black or white dots, known as comedones, usually begin to form. Blackheads open to the skin surface, but they turn black due to oxygen contact. White spots are located under the surface of the skin and form a white appearance because they are inflamed. Acne most commonly occurs in areas with excessive sebaceous glands listed below. These:

• Face
• Chest
• upper back
• Shoulders
• Neck

Acne formation can be similar to the symptoms of other skin conditions. For the most accurate diagnosis, a dermatologist should be consulted.

How is acne diagnosed?

Acne formation causes psychological problems as well as physical problems. In some cases, even mimics may not occur in the face area that is exposed to extremely intense acne formation. This also causes a feeling of pain from time to time. There are many different causes of acne formation. In such cases, you should definitely see a doctor.

In order to make the correct diagnosis, the dermatologist examines the acne in detail and decides which type of acne it is. When making this decision, he also considers the area of ​​acne. It is evaluated whether menstrual irregularity or excessive hair growth is observed in women. In some cases, health problems such as ovarian cysts, type-2 diabetes and hormonal imbalances also cause acne, so the doctor may request other tests. Considering all these findings, the correct diagnosis of acne is made. Correct diagnosis ensures correct treatment.

What are the types of acne?

Types of acne are classified differently according to the skin lesion and the shape of the acne lesion. Skin lesions that occur in acne formation are as follows:

Comedones: Comedones, more commonly called blackheads, range in size from 1 to 3 mm. They are caused by the oxidation of sebum, also known as oily skin fluid. As long as they are not contacted, they do not cause any inflammation and disappear on their own.

Papules: Papules that are smaller than 5 mm in size are inflamed and appear red in color. Causes minor pain on contact. Hot papules disappear spontaneously.

Pustules: Pustules larger than 5 mm in size are a type of acne that is pus and yellow in color. Once the pistulas are drained, they may disappear, but may reappear later in the same spot.

Nodules: Nodules have a larger size than other types of acne. It is usually round in shape and inflamed. They can be located on the surface of the skin or on the underside. In some cases, this type of acne, which leads to abscess formation, may spontaneously burst or tend to leave scars.

Pimples are also classified according to the shape of the lesion:

Acne conglobata: This type of acne, which mostly occurs on the back and chest area, causes severe cyst formation. It can leave deep scars on the skin surface. It occurs more frequently in women with menstrual irregularity.

Acne fulminans: This type of acne, which has a cystic structure, is more common in adolescent boys. Acne fulminans, which can suddenly become pus and cause scarring, sometimes cause fatigue, weakness and fever in the person.

Acne vulgaris: Occurs during adolescence. It is a simple type of acne. It is mostly seen in the face area.

Is acne contagious?

Acne is not contagious. It can cause serious permanent scars when it is touched too often in its area or if it is played too often. Acne is a dermatological disorder with treatment, so doctor treatment prevents the formation of permanent scars and spots.

How does acne go away?

All types of acne should be treated. Treatment prevents both the progression of acne and the formation of scars. Treatment should be initiated at all stages of life, including adolescence.

Since most people are dissatisfied with the pimples, they choose to pop these pimples. Squeezing and popping pimples not only causes serious damage to the skin, but can also lead to visible and permanent scars. Pimples that occupy a visible space on the skin cause a bad image and trying to cover this image with cosmetic products increases the formation of acne.

Although the pimples disappear on their own as long as there is not too much contact or infection, there are various acne treatment methods that reduce the formation of acne and increase the healing process.

Although there is a delayed response to treatment from time to time, permanent progress can be achieved when regular fluid is applied.

Will acne scars go away? What are the best methods for acne scars?

Pimples can leave scars depending on the skin structure of the person and the depth of the acne. Every acne has the potential to leave scars. These scars can be healed with the help of many methods such as laser, chemical peeling, needle radiofrequency, and release. The type of treatment to be applied, the type of lesion the person has, the skin color, the depth of the scar are decided jointly by the physician and the patient, and the acne scar is treated.

One of the most effective ways to remove acne scars is fractional laser treatment. With this method, the damaged connective tissue under the skin is removed and fresh collagen production takes place. After this process, the stem cells in the skin become active. Thus, the epithelial cover is renewed with the help of new epithelial cells.

Chemical peeling method is applied in the treatment of more superficially located acne scars. The purpose of this method is to peel the top layer of the skin with the help of chemicals with different strengths, and to gradually flatten the pit that appears with acne scars. This method is also applied as a routine skin care method with low percentage acids (eg glycolic acid 10%). After chemical peeling, a brighter and smoother new skin emerges under the skin. It is very important to protect this new skin layer from the sun. Since chemicals are applied to the skin, side effects such as slight redness and flaking may occur from time to time. Therefore, the skin should be very well moisturized.

How to prevent acne formation?

– To receive regular treatment and follow-up by a dermatologist

– Staying away from fatigue and stress as much as possible prevents the formation of acne.

– As the skin renews itself during sleep, a quality sleep is very important for skin health.

– Drinking enough water and eating a balanced and regular diet reduce the formation of acne.

– Squeezing acne increases the risk of scarring. Picking up pimples is not a healthy way. With the measures taken in the early period for the treatment of acne, it is prevented from spreading and turning into acne.

– Washing hands frequently is also important for facial health. Touching the face frequently with dirty hands increases the amount of bacteria and acne formation increases accordingly.

– Excessive sun exposure can also increase acne formation. After intense sun exposure, the skin thickens to protect itself and becomes more tan. As a result of thickening of the skin, the pores are clogged and acne increase can be observed.

Is acne treatment permanent?

All acne treatment methods successfully control acne. However, acne may not completely go away with medical methods. During and after acne treatment, the person should take good care of his skin. It is necessary to resort to methods to prevent the formation of new acne. Your doctor may plan continuation treatment for you to prevent recurrence of acne. Another curious question is whether acne will appear again after acne treatment. This is not a situation with a definite solution. It varies according to the skin structure of the person. If the person has a very oily skin structure, acne formation can be observed again. This problem can be easily solved with the right acne treatment methods.

What is used in the treatment of acne?

Different drugs and lasers can be used in treatments planned individually by a specialist dermatologist. Some of them are;

• Benzoyl Peroxide – Used superficially. It keeps the skin surface clean.
• Antibiotics – Prevent skin infections. It can be used superficially or orally.
• Retinoids – It helps to reduce the formation of new acne and prevents clogging of pores.
• Drainage – Provides removal of existing acne or cysts.
• Laser – Treatment is performed with different doses and different lasers according to different acne and acne types.

Is acne treatment a painful practice?

Acne treatment is not a painful application. No side effects are observed after the procedure. It is a treatment that only needs to be repeated and requires continuity.

How much are acne treatment prices?
