Can someone explain the sorcery, or science, behind the small acne stickers that teenagers everywhere swear by now. Thanks!
In: Biology
Acne is a mini-infection in a pore, causing it to swell and close up. There are medications that accelerate the turnover of skin cells on the face. If you use the stickers as a spot treatment, with medication to turnover the cells in the area, and apply acne medication to the infected area, you can more quickly target and address individual pimples.
Kids still get regular acne, but these are for those times when you have one big one on your chin or nose that’s prominent and even painful. In the past you’d just try to cover it up and then clean your face and it’d be gone in a week or so. The spot treatments with the stickers shorten that to 2-3 days. (or are supposed to)
