Girls with acne on their face can be treated with topical agents such as selenium sulfide shampoo and tretinoin ointment. Facial acne primarily occurs in adolescents, and the main causes are hormonal changes and excessive secretion of androgens. This type of acne condition also includes open comedones and closed comedones. It is important to pay attention to facial skin care in daily life, washing the face with warm water morning and night, and keeping the skin moisturized.
