Therefore, patients with acne should try to avoid the above triggering factors, such as limiting high sugar, greasy diet and dairy products, properly controlling their weight, regular work and rest, and avoiding staying up late, etc., which can help prevent and improve acne.

2. Psychological counseling: Patients with acne, especially grade IV acne, are prone to anxiety and depression and need to cooperate with psychological counseling and drug intervention when necessary.

5. Scientific skin care: The skin of patients with acne is often accompanied by sebaceous overflow. They need to use an oil-controlling and moisturizing cleanser to cleanse the face to remove excess oil, dandruff and a mixture of microorganisms on the skin surface. But avoid over-cleansing, wash your face less than 3 times a day, and avoid squeezing and scratching. After cleansing, you need to choose corresponding skin care products according to the patient's skin type: oily skin should choose oil-controlling and moisturizing skin-care products; mixed skin should be cared for in separate areas, with oil-controlling and moisturizing skin-care products for the T zone and soothing and moisturizing skin-care products for the cheeks. Excessive cleansing or use of retinoic acid, benzoyl peroxide and other drugs, as well as improper care after physical and chemical treatments, can easily damage the skin barrier and lead to sensitive skin. It is advisable to use soothing and repairing skin care products together. In addition, foundation, isolation, sunscreen and makeup should be used and selected carefully to avoid the occurrence of cosmetic acne.
