What to do if a man has acne due to endocrine disorders

In fact, it is not uncommon for male friends to have acne due to endocrine disorders. It is quite common in life, especially among teenagers aged 15 or 16. Because at this time the study pressure is relatively high, if you do not pay attention to your eating habits, it will cause endocrine disorders. The main manifestation is acne. So let’s learn together what to do if men have endocrine disorders and acne?

The laser treatment method for acne is to irradiate with a high-intensity dye laser of a specific wavelength, which can quickly destroy Propionibacterium acnes, effectively inhibit bacterial reproduction, eliminate its irritation and destructive effects on tissues, and at the same time quickly shrink the dilated capillaries, and quickly subside the inflammation of congestion and redness, blocking the further destructive effect of acne on tissues, and at the same time promote the early recovery of acne wounds, avoiding the irreversible pits and acne scars in the future. Some previous broad-spectrum irradiation light sources cannot provide irradiation light that completely destroys Propionibacterium acnes without containing dangerous UV (ultraviolet) rays.

Using laser to treat acne can be effective quickly, and can make inflammatory papules and nodules disappear quickly. At the same time, it can make it easy to clean and remove whiteheads and blackheads at the opening of hair follicles. The pores become smaller, and the oil secretion decreases, making the face clean and non-greasy. Laser treatment of acne can quickly destroy propionic acid acne bacteria through high-intensity dye laser irradiation of specific wavelengths, effectively inhibit bacterial reproduction, eliminate its irritation and destructive effects on tissues, and at the same time make the dilated capillaries shrink quickly, and the congestion and redness of the inflammation quickly subside, blocking the further destructive effect of acne on tissues, and at the same time promoting the timely recovery of acne wounds to avoid acne marks and acne scars.

Oral glucocorticoids are mainly used for fulminant acne or aggregated acne. Because these types of acne are often related to excessive immune and inflammatory reactions, short-term use of glucocorticoids can play an immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory role. However, it should be noted that glucocorticoids themselves can induce acne. Oral use is only used for patients with more severe inflammation, and it is a small dose and short-term use.

① For acne fulminans, take prednisone 20-30 mg/d for 4-6 weeks, then gradually reduce the dosage within 2 weeks, and then start taking oral retinoic acid.

② If conglobate acne or acne fulminans worsens during oral retinoic acid treatment, prednisone 20-30 mg/d should be given for 2-3 weeks, followed by a gradual reduction in the dosage over the next 6 weeks; at the same time, oral retinoic acid should be discontinued or reduced to 0.25 mg/kg/d, and then the dosage should be increased or decreased based on the course of the condition.

③ Prednisone 5mg/d or dexamethasone 0.375-0.75mg/d, taken every night, can inhibit the high secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone in the morning, inhibit the production of androgens by the adrenal glands and ovaries, and gradually reduce the dosage after improvement. For patients with acne that worsens before menstruation, prednisone 5mg/d can be used 10 days before menstruation until the onset of menstruation. Fisher et al. believe that large doses of glucocorticoids have anti-inflammatory effects, while small doses have anti-androgenic effects.

From the article, we have learned what to do if men have acne due to endocrine disorders. For the method of removing acne, you can still use some laser treatments, which will be effective faster. However, this can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. The most important thing is to arrange your time reasonably and pay attention to the combination of work and rest.
