Severe Non-Nodular Acne Vulgaris

Severe Non-Nodular Acne Vulgaris (SNNV) is a type of Acne Vulgaris that is particularly severe and can require intensive treatment. It is characterized by deep, cystic lesions and widespread inflammation in the face, as well as large nodules on the back and chest. SNNV can cause significant pain and scarring that can take an emotional toll on the sufferer and can negatively affect self-esteem and self-confidence.

The primary cause of SNNV is believed to be an overproduction of oil in the skin, resulting in blockages in the pores. This is often due to an imbalance before androgen hormones, which stimulate the production of oil in the skin. SNNV is thought to be more common in teenage girls and adult women.

The main goal of treatment of SNNV is to reduce symptoms and reduce the risk of future flare-ups. The most common treatments are topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retinoids, and antibiotics, as well as oral antibiotics and oral contraceptives. In some cases, a combination of these treatments may be necessary. It is also important to take good care of the skin, such as avoiding harsh cleansers and using mild, non-comedogenic moisturizers.

These are some tips to help manage SNNV:

• Avoid touching your face and squeezing or picking at your acne lesions.
• Keep your hands clean by washing them regularly with soap and water.
• Be gentle when washing your face and use mild, non-comedogenic cleansers.
• Try to keep your stress levels low by getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and practicing relaxation techniques.
• Eat healthy, balanced meals and drink plenty of water.
• Use non-comedogenic moisturizers and sunscreens.
• Avoid oil-based cosmetics and moisturizers.
