Fevers: Prevention and ways to deal with them!

The color of our skin is mainly due to the production of melanin. It is also responsible for the chocolate color we get after exposure to the sun.

Unfortunately, in addition to a nice tan, exposure to solar radiation often causes skin discolorations, such as panades. Among the most common skin diseases are rashes on the hands or feet, on the body and, most importantly, rashes on the face. This happens because the production of melanin increases for some reason in the aforementioned areas.

As we have already mentioned, the main reason these discolourations are created is the sun and our exposure to its radiation, without, for example, the necessary sunscreen face cream for sunburns.

But apart from the sun, freckles can be due to age, hormonal disorders during pregnancy or menopause, polycystic ovaries, heredity, the use of certain cosmetics or drugs such as contraceptives, antibiotics, etc.

It should be noted that the panades are not superficial like the brown spots. These are skin discolorations that are created in deeper layers of the skin.

Next you will see what you need to know, as well as ways to treat discolorations such as freckles.

How to deal with outbreaks:

As you know, prevention saves lives. This is exactly the case for the specific skin diseases – skin discolorations. The simplest solution is to avoid exposure to the sun, which is often unavoidable. In order to achieve this, you should protect your skin, not only on your face, but also on your entire body, by wearing sunscreen for your face and body, all year round. Even when there is almost no sun, i.e. Winter.

If you still haven't managed to avoid the pimples, there is a way to deal with them and remove them. A dermatologist will recognize the problem and suggest the appropriate way to treat it with the ideal treatment for pimples.

How to get rid of pimples from the face and body:

There are treatments that you can do yourself at home and others that need the help of a specialist and the machines he has in his office.

So see what are the treatment methods at home and in the doctor's office, and then consult your dermatologist:

Treating pangs at home:

Skin exfoliation:

By removing dead cells from the top layer of your skin, you create the best conditions and a clean skin for the active ingredients of pharmaceutical or cosmetic products to penetrate deeper. The simplest and fastest way to exfoliate your face is with a towel. Basically every morning when you wash your face take a clean towel, wet it and wring it out well. Then add some soap or facial cleanser and rub it gently on your face.

Alternatively, you can use a light exfoliating product to wash your face daily, which contains a mild cleanser with natural extracts, such as glycolic or salicylic acid, or rice grains. However, if you feel that your skin is pulling you, avoid daily exfoliation and do it 3 times a week.

You can also choose an exfoliating mask, in addition to the cleaning products.

Whitening cream for freckles:

This is a method that is considered quite safe. However, according to dermatologists, these products should be avoided during the summer. Whitening creams for pimples are based on the low amount of azelaic acid they contain and do not cause skin irritation. The goal of these creams is to inhibit the growth of enzymes that create melanin and improve skin tone. Of course, this specific treatment method needs about 8 weeks to have visible results!

It is worth noting that in addition to commercial products, there are also recipes for homemade bleaching cream for freckles and other discolorations.

Alternatively, you can follow the natural treatment for facial freckles by making a homemade bleaching cream – wax ointment for freckles following the recipe that promises impressive results. It is a natural treatment for the face.

Finally, a natural remedy for cold sores is lemon. Apply some lemon juice to your face with a cotton ball and leave it on overnight. This will lighten the freckles from the sun. However, some experts claim that this natural way of dealing with pimples is not such a good idea. The reason is that lemon contains citric acid and psoralen, two substances that may irritate the skin when exposed to the sun's rays, making it more sensitive to light and causing superficial burns and blisters.

Consult your pharmacist to recommend the ideal sunscreen for you. 

Medicinal preparations ideal for panades:

These are preparations based on hydroquinone, a very powerful substance that has the ability to reduce melanin production and helps with discoloration. However, this substance can cause irritation and for this reason a medical prescription is required. These medicinal preparations containing hydroquinone in a percentage ranging between 2% and 4%, depending on the case, are in the form of a cream, gel or lotion and are prescribed for a specific period of time. A doctor's supervision of the progress of the preparation is essential.

Treating ailments with the help of a specialist at the doctor's office:

If the problem of discoloration that bothers you does not go away naturally or with cosmetic products, consult a specialist to suggest an alternative treatment for freckles.

Exfoliation with microcrystals – Microdermabrasion or chemical way:

If you choose to do an exfoliation in a specialized clinic, you will have to choose between mechanical or chemical exfoliation. More specifically, exfoliation in a mechanical way is done with micro-crystals or with the method of micro-dermabrasion which makes a deeper exfoliation. On the other hand, the chemical way is done with a high concentration of trichloroacetic or glycolic acid that reaches up to 40%, which is done locally on the spots where the spots have appeared. The dermatologist is the one who will judge, depending on the type of skin and the size of the problem, which is the ideal method that will have the best results, so that he can apply it.

Laser for freckles:

The laser for freckles is a widespread method of treating dyschromic lesions based on the rapid thermal energy deposition, which breaks down the melanin coccidia. This particular treatment for warts creates an inflammation locally at the site where it is applied. Essentially, the skin reddens and becomes more sensitive. This is also the reason why the laser is only applied in Autumn and Winter, where the sun is limited.

Caution: The laser method for face or body patches should be avoided in difficult cases of deep melasma. In these cases, it can create inflammations, which will then cause more melanin to be deposited, giving the opposite of the desired results. Therefore, for deep melasma it is preferable to apply peeling methods.

IPL for pangs:

IPL does exactly the same job as laser, but is a competitive method in terms of technology. This treatment for freckles, as the name of "Intense Pulsed Light" says, is based on the use of intense pulsed light. This particular method not only offers anti-aging care, but also helps to improve dyschromic changes. It is a method that is quick and you can immediately return to your daily activities after applying it.

Cryotherapy:

The method of cryotherapy was applied before the appearance of the laser for freckles, but it is still used today in some cases to treat freckles. The way it works is by reducing the temperature of the skin locally to very low levels, so as to cause the destruction of the pathological tissues. More specifically, the cryotherapy method causes local vasoconstriction and necrosis due to the cold applied to the specific points. In the recovery phase, the metabolism of the problem area is activated and its treatment begins. It will take a few days for the problem to heal.
