Using Acne Patch for Too Long Can Cause Irritation, Check Out the Doctor's Explanation

Dream - Treating acne can be done in various ways. If Sahabat Dream wants a faster recovery, you can opt for acne injections. Meanwhile, the healing process can be achieved through skincare application.

The skincare products used to treat acne consist of several types. Many skincare brands provide special acne series. Some of them also provide spot treatment or acne spot treatment.

Although using acne spot treatment only on the pimples will not immediately penetrate the skin, resulting in suboptimal healing due to air exposure, pollution, dirt, and others. One solution for treating acne in the morning or during the day is to use an acne patch. The acne patch itself only needs to be applied to the pimples and contains skincare ingredients, so the pimples are not exposed to dirt, free from friction, and heal faster.

According to Dermatologist Yessica Tania, acne patches are divided into 3 types, namely hydrocolloid patch, medicated acne patch, and microneedle patch.

What's the difference?

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Hydrocolloid patch itself functions to absorb acne pus and is usually round in shape with various sizes. Medicated acne patch is available in various forms and contains various active ingredients to heal acne, such as salicylic acid, sulfur, and tea tree. Meanwhile, microneedle patch has very small needles and contains active ingredients to accelerate acne healing."

"How to Use Acne Patch"

Although it may seem easy, but Dream Friends should pay attention to how to use acne patches so as not to worsen the skin condition. Yessica does not recommend using acne patches for more than 6-8 hours, especially all day.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "Wearing acne patches for too long can cause chemical burns on the skin, making your skin condition even worse. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful when using them."

"Soalnya dia (acne patch) kan, ada active ingredients-nya ya, jadi kalau ditempel ke kulit kita dan ditutup oleh patch-nya, jadi oklusif tuh, ada risiko iritasi. Kayak overexfoliate atau bahkan chemical burn," "Because it (acne patch) has active ingredients, so if it is applied to our skin and covered by the patch, it becomes occlusive, there is a risk of irritation. Like overexfoliation or even chemical burn,"

"ujar dr. Yessica." translates to "said Dr. Yessica."

Therefore, find out the type of acne patch that is used. Do not let Sahabat Dream use medicated acne patch for more than 6-8 hours. Meanwhile, hydrocolloid patch can still be used a little longer. Also use acne spot treatment at night to optimize acne healing. Source: Instagram @yessicatania
