(Question) How should I manage acne on my forehead?[7]

I used to get a few pimples on my cheeks but rarely, but It looks like volcanic rock on my forehead now. Only on my forehead. It's not turning red, but it broke out really severely like hives. At first, only one or two appeared, so I just ignored them, but they got too severe. I wonder if it's because I touched them? It spreads to the sides, and if I don't cover it with my bangs, I'm so embarrassed that I can't even show my forehead. How should I soothe my forehead when I have a lot of acne like this? I don't think I ate anything particularly wrong, but seeing this turn out like this is giving me a lot to worry about. How do others manage acne on their foreheads? I would appreciate it if you could share any good tips or cosmetics you have.

Experience in finding the cause of acne and prescribing it at Incheon Maypure Inha University Station branch

I went to get a prescription for acne medication. I finished my month's supply of isotretinoin and got a new prescription. My forehead hurt so much when I used a puff to apply makeup. I had severe whiteheads and even had scars after popping them, so I went for a consultation to figure out the cause. The director said it was due to sebum production and makeup. I received the prescription and took it for three days, starting that evening. It didn't help. I just let my skin absorb the toner and applied a generous layer of moisturizing cream. My skin started to improve a little, but since I have to apply makeup and spray it every day, my acne has gotten worse lately, so I finally decided to give up makeup altogether.

I have pimples on my hairline. What are the causes and how can I manage them?[19]

These days, my hairline condition is really bad. Acne is appearing along the hairline. Redness and small pimples keep appearing along the hairline just above the forehead, and it's causing me a lot of stress. Currently, it is spreading not only along the hairline but also into the scalp on the temples. Actually, I used to get small pimples on my forehead quite often, but recently I haven't had any and it was fine. However, now they are appearing along my hairline. At first, it was a bit itchy, but now it feels slightly painful when pressed, like a pimple. Why am I getting pimples on my hairline even though I intentionally keep my bangs up and wash my face diligently?ㅠㅠ I would really appreciate it if you could share any helpful tips, effective products, or lifestyle habits that help soothe these troublesome hairline acne 😢

What is the cause of the acne on my chin?[5]

I keep getting pimples in the same spot on my chin ㅠㅠ This acne looks like it is not maturing and is abscessing inside (?) When touched, it feels tangible and it stands out visually because it protrudes sharply... It's a pimple that can't be squeezed even if I try. Other pimples can be popped once they mature and disappear quickly with care, but this pimple doesn't respond well to such care... It might disappear like this, but it takes quite a while, so I am quite concerned about it in the meantime. Is this type of acne also considered a form of acne? I'm curious about what causes this and how I should take care of it ㅠㅠ

A 10-month-old girl has hair growing only on her forehead… Is this a congenital condition?[1]

10-month-old girl with hair growing only on her forehead… Is congenital 'this disease' the cause? A New Zealand baby with hair growing only on its forehead has become a hot topic after photos were released. On the 16th (local time), the British media outlet The Mirror reported the story of a New Zealand baby born with a congenital birthmark. Lulu, a 10-month-old girl living in Timaru, New Zealand, He was born with a large congenital nevus on the upper forehead. The pediatrician who treated Lulu said that there is a possibility this mole could develop into cancer. Therefore, it was diagnosed that we need to monitor whether it worsens. Lulu's mother, Claire Burt (32), visited a dermatologist out of anxiety, and The doctor said, "Although it is unlikely to develop into cancer, please visit immediately if the mole changes." Claire said, "When Lulu gets bigger, we will take an MRI to check if there are any problems inside her head." "I will let the child decide for themselves whether or not to have surgery to remove the mole when they get older," he said. Congenital melanocytic nevi are usually harmless to the body and do not cause any symptoms. However, most moles grow in size as the body grows. In Lulu's case, since she is 10 months old, the size of the birthmark may increase as she grows. If it grows to a diameter of 20 cm or more in adulthood, it is called a 'giant nevus'. In large congenital melanocytic nevi, such as giant nevi, additional benign nevi may develop. Also, if the mole continues to grow, you should suspect malignant melanoma. Malignant melanoma is difficult to completely remove, so it requires multiple stages of surgery or cryotherapy. Therefore, it is advisable to periodically get diagnosed for malignancy. If the color of the mole ▲ It is getting dark ▲ or become bumpy ▲ As the shape becomes irregular If the color changes, you must visit a hospital immediately for an examination.

What causes acne on the jawline?? ㅠㅠ It's really stressful[6]

What causes acne on the jawline?? ㅠㅠ It's really stressful I don't know why I get acne on my jawline! It's really stressing me out. I have oily skin and am prone to acne. I had acne on my jawline even during my school days. I feel like I get more acne on my jawline now that I'm an adult! They say that hormonal changes and stress are the causes of acne on the jawline.

What exactly causes acne? I want to get rid of it.[10]

I have had a lot of acne since I was young and have been worried about it a lot. During puberty, it was so bad that my skin became blotchy and I had a lot of scars. It's gotten a little better since I became an adult, but I still get pimples and blackheads quite often. We learned about the causes and management of acne through the Cashdoc Hospital event! https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/3624 I was curious about what causes acne, so I searched the internet. There are said to be several causes, including hormonal changes, increased sebum secretion, thickening of the stratum corneum, and bacterial infection. I'm not sure if it's because of hormonal changes or because my skin's stratum corneum has thickened. I tried many different methods to get rid of my acne, even going to a dermatologist to get rid of it. Nothing worked. Taking the medicine seemed to dry out my skin and make my acne worse. I also tried home care methods that can be done at home. I thoroughly used cleansers, toners, and moisturizers. I also had scaling done frequently. But the acne didn't go away easily. Acne causes me a lot of mental distress. It makes me feel insecure about my appearance and makes it difficult to socialize. If there is a way to get rid of acne, please let me know.

Acne on the forehead[12]

My older child has a lot of pimples on their forehead. I've always kept my bangs covering my forehead, so I just realized—do I need to see a dermatologist? My forehead needs to be clean too.. Acne, sighㅠㅠ

I only get small pimples on my forehead...

It's only the forehead that is particularly problematic.. the small bumps don't go away, and sometimes red pimples appear.. I wonder why that is ㅜㅜ Maybe it's because of the bangs, I also removed the bangs, but the scar still doesn't go away. It seems to get better, but then it returns to the starting point, creating a vicious cycle... It's quite dry, but only the forehead is particularly problematic, so it's difficult to manage... I don't know the cause, so it's even worse... Please share methods for managing millet-sized acne.

I woke up and found a pimple on my forehead..[4]

It hurtsㅠㅠ It's so cold Oh oh

I have another pimple on my forehead.

Is it because of the mask? Small pimples are starting to appear on my forehead, little by little ㅠㅠㅠ For millet acne, it is said that you need to thoroughly remove excess oil and dead skin to prevent the face from becoming greasy, and to care for the skin so that new skin can grow well on the clean surface. Around this time last year, I kept getting small acne bumps, which caused me a lot of stress. At that time, I didn't have time for proper skincare, so I went to the dermatologist for laser treatment and used the regenerative cream prescribed by the dermatologist. But maybe because the cream contained a lot of oily ingredients like oil components, or perhaps it just didn't agree with my skin... Despite the treatment, acne reappeared on my skin, making the effort seem pointless. It seems that not only acne but also the excessive sebum production has become much worse. So this time, I decided to do home care at home haha. For tiny pimples, exfoliation and sebum care are important, but I also thought it was equally important to hydrate the skin with plenty of moisture. After experiencing issues with cosmetics once, I started to scrutinize the ingredients very carefully. My skin is sensitive, so I get irritated unless I use truly gentle products. I needed a home care product that is gentle, non-irritating, and provides plenty of moisture. In skin regeneration, the factor called EGF is essential, and this cream contains both EGF and collagen, which enhance cell regeneration and improve skin elasticity. Because of that, it not only has the effect of regenerating the skin but also improves wrinkles... I just couldn't help but use it haha And originally, I have sensitive skin and a personality that can't tolerate stuffiness, so I couldn't apply rich or thick textures of not only regenerative creams but also moisturizing creams on my skin. But this product has a quite moist texture, so it absorbs quickly and spreads well, which was great. Furthermore, it was very good that it contains 100% natural lavender oil, which is not an ingredient that irritates the skin with artificial fragrances, and that it uses ingredients derived from nature. For now, I think I can manage the small acne with home care by applying this regenerating cream!

Kim Myung-ae Dermatology in Seocho-gu, Seoul Recommended as the Best Clinic for Acne Inflammation Injections!

Here are my personal top 3 reviews of dermatology clinics in Gangnam, Seoul, that I found effective for acne inflammation injections. My skin isn't inherently acne-prone, but I am the type who gets really big, hard, pustular pimples every now and then. Like what people commonly call a "giant pimple," it festers inside, hurts to the touch, and doesn't go away easily even after time passes. It was incredibly stressful, especially when those kinds of pimples popped up right before an important appointment or schedule. At first, I tried to manage it at home by applying ointment or spot treatments, but these hard, inflammatory pimples often didn't go away on their own. So, in the end, I ended up getting an anti-inflammatory injection after extraction at a dermatology clinic. After visiting several places, I found that even for the same injection, there was quite a significant difference between hospitals. The prices and treatment methods are all different, so perhaps that's why the effects vary as well! So, based on my personal opinion, I have selected three dermatology clinics in Gangnam that were effective. 3rd Place Gangnam Doctors Dermatology Clinic I had high expectations after seeing the pleasant facilities and neat interior... but it took a little while for the inflammation to completely subside after getting the injection here. I visited because of the acne on my forehead. This is the state before getting hit. This photo shows the patient after receiving an anti-inflammatory injection. It was a bit big, but... the inflammation didn't go down even after getting the injection. Eventually, I visited again for the second time and received an additional injection. It was a bit disappointing that it wasn't dealt with immediately. Since anti-inflammatory injections are not covered by insurance, the cost is a burden even for just one shot, but because I got them twice, the expense turned out to be quite a bit higher than I expected. Also, the doctor squeezed it out directly by hand, and it was quite painful. Of course, since it was done hygienically at the hospital, it is different from handling it at home, but the irritation was so intense that while getting it done, I momentarily wondered, "If it's going to be like this, how is this any different from me squeezing it out at home?" Still, after getting two injections, it subsided cleanly and there was almost no discoloration. There were pros and cons. 2nd Place Gangnam-gu Nine Dermatology Clinic I got an injection for my chin acne here. Fortunately, at Nine Dermatology, my acne subsided after receiving just one anti-inflammatory injection! The recovery speed was relatively fast, and the bulging swelling went down immediately. However, there was one drawback, The inflammation went away quickly, but the discoloration lasted quite a while afterward. It was red right after I got the anti-inflammatory injection, and once it subsided somewhat, the brown discoloration lasted longer than I expected. It was a dermatology clinic with clear pros and cons. The advantage was that inflammation subsided quickly with just one injection, and the recovery speed was also relatively fast, but The downside was that although the discoloration marks have disappeared now, at the time they lasted so long that I was worried they wouldn't go away. The extraction method was the same as at the third-ranked hospital, Doctors, where they manually extracted the tissue, and it was a bit irritating during the process. Still, it was fine for urgently getting rid of inflammation. No. 1 Seocho Kim Myung-ae Dermatology Clinic The place I was most satisfied with was Kim Myung-ae Dermatology! True to its name, this is a dermatology clinic with a board-certified dermatologist with 40 years of experience. It was a hospital that gave off a professional vibe from the outside; although the exterior is old, the interior is clean. Before getting the injection. The size was average, but that chin acne had been there for about a month, and the inside was very hard. First of all, it really subsided quickly after I got the anti-inflammatory injection here. Usually, it takes a day or two to see results, but here, the acne areas flattened out immediately after the injection! And what I was most satisfied with was the extrusion method. At other hospitals, the doctor would squeeze it out by hand, but here, they used a needle to make just a tiny hole to drain the pus. So the extraction itself was barely painful, and since they didn't squeeze it by hand, there was no skin irritation, which I really liked. If you squeeze it with your hands, not only the acne area but also the surrounding skin turns extremely red. Manual extraction involves squeezing until no more pus comes out, which can be irritating, but here, it felt like they cleanly removed only the pus, so my skin was less red after the procedure and recovered quickly!! These are photos I took the day after and the day after getting the injection. Maybe because I didn't squeeze it out manually, it healed completely in just two days👍🏻 And another difference from the two hospitals mentioned above is that there was no separate prescription for oral medication. I was surprised that there was no medication, but the inflammation subsided quickly even without taking any. The size of the acne and the condition of the inflammation were similar to before, but since it healed so fast without needing to take any medicine, I felt that they only provide treatment that is truly necessary. Since it is an injection, the slight discoloration usually lasts for a few days after getting an anti-inflammatory injection, but at Kim Myung-ae Dermatology, the discoloration disappeared quickly, so I was most satisfied. Of course, even at the same hospital, the results of anti-inflammatory injections can vary depending on the condition of the skin on that day, and reactions will differ from person to person. However, based on my personal experience receiving treatments at various places, the recovery speed and satisfaction levels definitely vary from clinic to clinic because the methods used—such as extraction techniques and medication prescriptions—differ. Since anti-inflammatory injections are steroids, it is not good to get them frequently. I prefer a dermatology clinic where I can be completely cured with just one treatment, so I was most satisfied with Kim Myung-ae Dermatology, and in that regard, I ranked it as number one. I hope my review will be of at least some help to those of you who are urgently considering anti-inflammatory injections at a dermatology clinic because of pustular acne!

My skin is naturally very sensitive, so I'm the type of person whose acne flares up all over my chin and cheeks whenever I'm even slightly tired or stressed. In particular, small pimples kept popping up and then spread into large, inflammatory acne. Also, the marks lingered for a long time, so it was very stressful that my skin looked bad even with makeup on. For a while, I tried squeezing them out myself at home using an extractor and tried every cosmetic product that was supposed to be good, but it only damaged my skin barrier and made the redness and breakouts worse. So, I decided to get proper dermatological care before it was too late, and I consulted with several places. I’m going to list my top 3 clinics that I was personally satisfied with!! I'll attach the before and after photos too~ It definitely looks better, right?? No. 1 Apgujeong Cha & Park Dermatology Clinic From the moment I first went for a consultation, this place felt different from other hospitals. Usually, when you go to a dermatology clinic, there were places that would immediately recommend lasers or start talking about treatments. I liked that they asked me in detail about my lifestyle habits and skin concerns. After examining my skin condition, they explained why I repeatedly get breakouts on my chin. I trusted the explanation that my skin barrier seemed to have become sensitive due to my squeezing habit because it was absolutely true. I felt reassured because they adjusted the intensity considering my sensitive skin and kept checking periodically to see if I was uncomfortable during the laser and extraction treatments. My biggest worries were the pain from the extraction and my face breaking out after the procedure. It was more bearable than I expected, and thanks to the thorough soothing care, the redness subsided quickly. After visiting consistently a few times, the frequency of cystic acne breakouts decreased, and I felt like my skin texture itself became smoother. Seeing the red marks that couldn't even be covered with makeup gradually fading, I thought I should have gotten treatment sooner. The biggest factor was that the staff explained the after-treatment precautions and how to care for my skin at home in detail, so I stopped trying to fix things on my own!! 2nd Place Gangnam Oracle Dermatology Overall, the facilities here were very clean, and there was a wide variety of lasers. I liked that they gave personalized recommendations based on my skin condition, and the blemish-soothing effect wasn't bad either. I especially felt my skin texture improving quickly, but it was a bit difficult to book an appointment, and there were times when the wait was long. The consultation itself was friendly, but I remember feeling a bit disappointed because it felt a little faster compared to the top-ranked hospital. 3rd Place Tox & Fill Clinic It felt like a good place to receive consistent care at a relatively affordable price. The extraction process was quite clean, and it was effective for inflammatory acne. I definitely felt that major skin troubles were decreasing as I managed it along with the prescribed medication. I felt that the detailed explanation regarding the skin type itself was a bit lacking. Still, I would like to recommend this as a good hospital for students or those just starting out in their careers to begin managing their health! Personally, the reason I chose CNP Dermatology as number one is that it doesn't feel like they are just performing procedures. It is because I felt the most significant factor was that it took care of my skin itself! Acne-prone skin isn't something that ends immediately with just one treatment. I needed to consider lifestyle habits and the skin barrier as well, and I trusted you because you explained those aspects as well. In the past, I used to get stressed every time I looked in the mirror, and I felt self-conscious about meeting people because of my skin. I'm most satisfied now that my makeup applies much better and I have fewer days feeling down because of my skin haha. For those of you who, like me, struggle with acne, I really hope you read my post and find it helpful.

Which is more effective for treating acne, oral medication or topical medication?

I am planning to visit a dermatologist to begin full-scale acne treatment. I have heard that the prescribed medications include oral drugs (such as isotretinoin) and topical ointments. I am curious about the pros, cons, and side effects of each drug. I would also like to know the criteria for determining when oral medication is generally preferred and when topical medication is better. I would appreciate honest reviews from those who have personally received a prescription and used these products.

Is there such a thing as an effective way to manage acne?

I have been under a lot of stress lately due to frequent breakouts. I would like to know about overall acne management, ranging from choosing a cleanser and the order in which to apply basic skincare products to dietary habits I can practice in my daily life. If anyone has seen some soothing effects from home care alone, sharing your routine or tips in detail would be a great help to my skin care.

It seems like my acne gets worse every summer.[1]

My skin is relatively calm in the spring and winter, but strangely, acne all over my face gets significantly worse as soon as summer comes.

I am curious to know how others who, like me, suffer from skin breakouts specifically during the summer usually cope with it.

I am sharing a review of acne scar treatment at Baek Dermatology Clinic in Bucheon.[4]

My dilemma: I am sharing a review of acne scar treatment at Baek Dermatology Clinic in Bucheon. I had been stressed about my acne scars for a long time, so I finally mustered up the courage to visit Baek Dermatology in Bucheon. I couldn't easily choose just any clinic, but after looking through reviews here and there, I heard that Baek Dermatology is famous for acne scar treatment and skin rehabilitation, so I decided to visit. The program I received was an intensive acne scar care treatment. It proceeded in the following order: deep cleansing (thoroughly removing makeup and impurities), scaling and exfoliation (refining skin texture and removing sebum from pores), application of a regenerating ampoule + soothing care, and a soothing mask (enhancing absorption and minimizing skin irritation). If you are worried about acne scars, I recommend visiting Bucheon Baek Dermatology Clinic! They won't completely disappear after just one or two treatments, but you can definitely feel a difference in your skin. Hospital Rankings: No. 1 - Bucheon Baek Dermatology Clinic 2nd Place - Bucheon Leaders Dermatology Clinic 3rd Place - U&I Clinic Bucheon Branch Reason for Selection (Criteria): The hospital is located in the center of Bucheon, so it is really accessible by public transportation. The building itself was clean and had a pleasant atmosphere, and I liked that the interior was well-organized.

Knife-like wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows, concerns about Botox procedures and hospital rankings (Maypure Sangam Branch)[6]

As I get older, deep wrinkles resembling knife marks form on my forehead and between my eyebrows, making it increasingly difficult to maintain a youthful appearance. My concerns have grown because every time I look in the mirror, I look tired, older, and sometimes even fierce. That is why I am doing what is popular at dermatology clinics these days... Wrinkle Botox procedure It is true that although I became interested, I hesitated to visit because I was worried that it might become bumpy or cause severe pain. I looked into it myself Hospital Rankings The rankings are as follows: 1st: Maypure Sangam Branch 2nd: Laren Clinic Sangam Branch 3rd: Shine Clinic Dermatology Reason for Selection (Criteria) 1st place Maypure Sangam Branch The biggest reason I chose this place is the introduction of various new equipment and the fact that an experienced doctor personally performs the procedures. Additionally, the very kind explanations during the consultation reduced my fear of the procedure, and I gained trust seeing the bright expressions of actual visiting customers and the many positive testimonials from neighbors. On the other hand, Laren Clinic Sangam Branch, ranked 2nd, had extensive experience in consultations and procedures but was disappointing due to its high price; meanwhile, Shine Clinic Dermatology, ranked 3rd, had the advantage of diverse skin care programs but felt relatively less specialized in the field of wrinkle Botox. Ultimately, the decisive difference was State-of-the-art equipment, extensive experience, friendly consultation, and customer satisfaction ...and in this regard, Maypure Sangam branch received the highest score. In conclusion, I felt that visiting in person for a consultation was a much more valuable choice than just wasting time worrying, and I am currently very satisfied. I want to continue managing my condition consistently to sustain positive changes.

I'm wondering if it's better to just leave them alone at home, or if going to a dermatologist to have them extracted actually leaves fewer scars.

I neglected them thinking they were just minor skin issues, but the pigmentation seems to be getting darker over time. Even when I try to cover them with makeup, my overall skin tone looks dull, so I am now planning to seek professional treatment. I am wondering if a vascular laser that reduces redness would be better among the procedures performed at a dermatology clinic, or if toning treatments that brighten the overall complexion or lasers for removing blemishes are more suitable for adult acne scars like mine. If anyone has received laser treatments or skin boosters for similar concerns and has actually seen significant improvement in pigmentation, I would like to hear your advice. I would appreciate it if you could share the recovery period for returning to daily life after the procedure, as well as any helpful aftercare tips to soothe sensitive skin and maximize the results.

[Health Column] You Just Got an Implant and Now You Have to Have It Removed? A Comprehensive Guide from Causes to Prevention ✨[2]

hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. You made a big decision to get the implant, so you must have felt relieved, thinking, "I'll be able to use this for the rest of my life." Unfortunately, even if it is properly implanted, if care is neglected or unexpected situations arise Implant removal There are times when you have to make a difficult decision. Today, we will look at why situations arise where well-placed implants must be removed, and what our bodies send danger signal I'll pinpoint exactly what it is! 1. What are the warning signs that dental implants send? 🦷 No implant falls out "suddenly." There are always warning signs! If a problem arises with an implant, it is highly likely that our body is already sending small signals. ⚠️ If you experience even one of the symptoms below, do not take it lightly. Changes in the gums Swollen gums or frequent bleeding when brushing teeth uncomfortable pain I feel a strange pain every time I chew food. Shake detection I feel like the implant is slightly loose. Foreign object jamming Food particles have started getting stuck much more than usual. Such changes can lead to the removal of implants childhood This could be the case, so do not ignore it and visit a dentist immediately for a check-up. 2. What are the main causes of implant removal? 🦷 The biggest enemies are 'inflammation' and 'lack of support'. Why do you have to remove implants that were difficult to implant? Here are the four main reasons. Peri-implantitis (Most common cause!): This is a phenomenon where inflammation occurs in the gums and bone surrounding the implant, causing the bone to erode. If left untreated, removal will eventually become inevitable. Lack of bone support : If the amount of gum bone supporting the implant is insufficient or its density decreases, the fixation weakens, and removal must be considered. Initial implant failure : This is a case where the bone and implant did not fuse properly in the early stages due to systemic health issues such as smoking or diabetes, or a lack of proper care. Occlusal problems : If chewing force is unevenly distributed, it can cause continuous damage to the bone surrounding the implant, leading to problems. 3. For implant removal, do I have to have all of them removed? 🦷 Depending on the situation, it may be resolved with 'partial measures'! You don't need to be afraid in advance that you might have to remove the entire thing. The method varies depending on the situation. ✅ Some measures possible : Minor issues, such as problems with the upper prosthesis or loose screws, can be resolved with simple measures. ✅ Total removal required : Surgical removal is necessary if the root (fixture) is damaged or if significant bone resorption has occurred due to severe inflammation. 4. How should I manage my diet safely after surgery? 🦷 🦷 Reducing irritation is the shortcut to a quick recovery! After removal or re-implantation, every single thing you eat is important. 🍴 Day 0: Stopping bleeding Focus on this! 🩸 1~3 days: While managing swelling Very soft liquid food Please eat. 4~7 days: Protein-rich foods like tofu and eggs soft regular food Starts. 1~2 weeks: Gradually Normal meal Go back, but avoid hard foods. FAQ Q1. Can I eat ice cream after implant surgery? ? A1. Yes, it is possible! In fact, cold stimulation can help relieve pain and swelling. 🍦 However, you must not eat too much. Q2. When can I start drinking coffee? ☕ A2. It is recommended to start taking it 2 to 3 days after surgery, and it is best to consume it lukewarm rather than too hot. Q3. Are alcohol and cigarettes really forbidden? 🍺🚬 A3. Yes, At least 1 to 2 weeks You must strictly prohibit this! It is the main culprit that slows recovery and drastically increases the risk of inflammation. 🚭 conclusion The lifespan of an implant is determined by 'attention'. Implant removal is not a misfortune that happens suddenly one day, The result of small problems accumulating no see. The difference between dismissing it with a "It feels a bit strange, but it should be okay?" attitude and thinking "Let's check it out" determines the lifespan of your implant. ✨ We hope you protect your precious implants for a long time through proper lifestyle habits, such as regular checkups, thorough brushing, and quitting smoking.

I really hate the scars from squeezing pimples.[6]

I had something that looked like small pimples on my cheek. To be precise, it was a bit bigger and firmer than typical milia, but you know that type of acne that isn't fully ripe.

I am satisfied after acne treatment at Yegoeun Dermatology Clinic in Anyang.[6]

I visited Yegoeun Dermatology Clinic on a friend's recommendation when my acne was at its worst. Honestly, the doctor's thoroughness is the most important factor when choosing a dermatology clinic, and I liked that they meticulously checked every detail of my lifestyle habits and skin type right from the consultation. When the treatment began in earnest, the extraction process was incredibly precise. Although it was painful, it didn't feel like they were just roughly squeezing it out; instead, it felt like they were finding and removing every single hidden seed, which was incredibly satisfying. Thanks to them adjusting the intensity of the subsequent soothing care and laser treatment to suit my skin condition, it worked well even on my sensitive skin without causing any significant irritation. Now that I've received regular treatments a few more times, the redness has faded significantly, and most importantly, I like that the uneven texture of my skin has smoothed out. The reasonable price is also a plus, making it less of a burden to get consistent care.

Home care simply wasn't working, so after much deliberation, I visited Go Eun-mi Clinic near my home. As someone who constantly switches between different dermatology clinics, I went with half worry and half anticipation. However, I felt confident because the director examined my skin condition and pinpointed exactly the treatments I needed most right now. It hurt enough to bring a tear to my eye during the extraction, but perhaps because it was a professional's touch, they did a thorough job to ensure no scars were left. After receiving the soothing treatment as well, I was relieved to see the redness subside faster than expected. Honestly, treating acne isn't something you stop at just once or twice; consistency is the key, so I diligently continued my treatment. My skin texture has become so much smoother now that I don't have to rush to cover it up with makeup like I used to. It used to be stressful every time I looked in the mirror, but now I finally feel like I can breathe again.

I'm planning to visit a dermatologist, and I'm wondering which treatment would be the most effective in this case.
