Treatment

Self-care: Grade 1 acne can be cured by self-care. For instance, using water-based products with salicylic acid helps unblocking pores. Also, steaming can help open up and clear the pores. Try not to scrub the acne-affected parts very harshly. Keeping the skin hydrated by consuming enough fluids can help treat this form of acne.

Medication: Grade 2 acne can require some medication. Topical treatments will help clean the skin and destroy the bacteria. Doctors may recommend Benzoyl Peroxide treatment. It helps reduce blackheads and pore blockages.
Specialists: For severe acne, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist at the earliest.
