Introduction
For treating acne during puberty, patients can visit the dermatology department of a正规 hospital for laser therapy. Laser treatment is highly effective for acne, as it efficiently kills Propionibacterium acnes, helps eliminate acne, and effectively suppresses excessive sebaceous gland secretion, thereby reducing inflammation.
During treatment, patients are advised to consume detoxifying foods with heat-clearing and dampness-resolving properties, such as mung beans and wax gourd (winter melon).

How to treat adolescent acne
Adolescent acne can be treated at the dermatology department of a正规 hospital using laser therapy. Laser treatment is highly effective for acne, as it efficiently kills Propionibacterium acnes, reduces acne lesions, suppresses excessive sebaceous gland secretion, and alleviates inflammation.
Under a doctor's guidance, topical treatments such as clindamycin phosphate gel, adapalene gel, fusidic acid cream, Mupirocin ointment, or erythromycin ointment may be applied. These can be combined with oral antibacterial medications like clarithromycin, doxycycline, or minocycline. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can also be used to treat acne during adolescence. According to TCM theory, acne on the face results from excessive internal damp-heat. Therefore, it is generally recommended to use herbal remedies to address the root cause. During treatment, patients are advised to consume detoxifying foods that clear heat and remove dampness, such as mung beans and winter melon.
In daily life, one should maintain healthy eating habits, pay attention to skin cleanliness and hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and wash the face with clean water or spring water. A mild, non-irritating facial cleanser can also be used. We hope this information helps you. Wishing you good health and happiness!
