HOW TO GET RID OF INFLAMED ACNE

If inflammation develops, it causes the surrounding skin to become red, and the spots become larger and filled with pus (pustules). In some cases the pustules become even larger and form into small 'nodules' and cysts.

Treatments

You have to be very careful with inflamed acne to prevent scarring. Apply topical treatments to all the affected area of skin, and not just to each spot.
Try over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide. It is a well known antibiotic. Benzoyl peroxide kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and helps to unplug blocked pores. Use the lowest strength at first. In many cases the 2.5% preparation works just as well as the 10% preparation, but causes the least irritation.
There are a lot of topical antibiotic preparations also. They reduce the number of bacteria and reduce inflammation. You need a prescription to get a topical antibiotic.
