Blemish Remover Tips

Too much keratin on skin can cause keratosis. Keratin is the main component of human hair and nails. This is what affects some types of keratosis to be rough, and bumpy. Whatever kind of keratosis you have, there are many treatments available to cure them. The first move of course is medical consultation and diagnosis.

Treatments for Actinic Keratosis

Actinic keratosis can be eradicated easily because they are just like viral warts in appearance.

•    The actinic keratosis is frozen off in a method called cryosurgery. It would be simpler to remove through freezing.

•    In contrast of cryosurgery, electrocautery blazes off the affected area.
•    Among all treatments, laser is proven to be the most effective.

•    Aldara is a treatment also used for genital warts, but can also be used for actinic keratosis. It is categorized as an immune response modifier drug.

•    5 Fluoracil is a chemotherapy agent. It is an emulsion, usually in cream form that is applied to the AK to make it fall off by itself.

Treatments for Keratosis Pilaris

Keratosis Pilaris has resemblance to chicken skin. They can also appear like acne. KPs can be hard to manage and remove, and actually there is no real cure for KP.

•    The acid form of vitamin A can aid in KP’s improvement. Acne is treated with the same kind of cream. It works by hastening skin growth, so that keratin will not overproduce on skin.   There will be less chances of acquiring KP if hair follicles would not get clogged.

•    Adapelene is a retinoid which moderates keratinization. It also has exfoliating properties.

Treatments for Seborrheic Keratosis

Seborrheic keratosis is somewhat related to the sebaceous glands, thus has greasy properties. It may seem harmless, but its effects on one’s confidence are bad. So the treatments for this include:

•    Cryotherapy is also used for SK situations.

•    Curette is used on SK in a process called curettage. The SK is scraped off, but SK can come back if there are no other sorts of treatment applied with it.

•    Laser treatments are effective in removing SKs.
•    Another form of SK treatment is electrocautery, which is also combined with curettage.

Now you are aware of the treatments, it is time to ask your doctor what type of treatment will be suitable for you.
