Teenager Acne Pack: GRADE 3

Your Grade 3 acne is moderate to severe and is characterized by numerous inflamed pustules and papules (red, tender bumps), which can appear on the face, back, and chest. This stage of acne often involves more significant inflammation and a greater number of lesions compared to milder forms. The affected areas may feel sore or tender to the touch, and you might notice that the bumps are sometimes filled with pus. These symptoms can cause discomfort and may have a noticeable impact on your daily life and self-esteem.

In Grade 3 acne, the inflammation can lead to more persistent and visible redness, and the risk of developing scars increases if the condition is not managed properly. It is crucial to avoid picking or squeezing the pimples, as this can exacerbate the inflammation and increase the likelihood of scarring. The condition can be triggered or worsened by hormonal changes, stress, diet, and certain skincare products, making it essential to identify and manage these factors as part of your treatment plan.

Treatment for Grade 3 acne typically involves a combination of topical and oral medications to reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and regulate skin cell turnover. Your dermatologist may prescribe topical oral antibiotics or hormonal treatments in some cases that you will use in conjuction woth your DermExcel Treatment Plan. Consistent use of these treatments will help to control the acne and prevent new lesions from forming.

It’s important to remember that while Grade 3 acne is more challenging to manage, effective treatments are available, and with the right approach, significant improvement is possible. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider will ensure that your treatment plan is optimized and adjusted as needed to achieve the best results for your skin.
