I have oily skin and now I'm getting adult acne, so I'm really stressed out... Please recommend some treatments.
I've always had extremely oily skin, but in the past, it was just a bit shiny. However, I'm really worried about the adult acne that's appearing as I get older.
I kept getting recurring breakouts on my chin, around my mouth, and on my cheeks where purulent pus formed.
My skin is incredibly oily, yet feels strangely tight underneath, so I'm hesitant to apply just anything. Squeezing the pimples with my hands at home has only resulted in more scars and red marks, creating a vicious cycle. I've heard there are dermatological procedures that reduce sebum production and prevent acne recurrence, but there are so many types that I have no idea which one to choose.
Is there anyone out there who, like me, has oily skin and struggled with adult acne and sought help from a dermatologist? It would be a huge help if you could recommend any procedures that were truly effective in calming the sebaceous glands or soothing acne.

- 01CommentsSince the management of recurring breakouts around the chin varies depending on the cause, it would be helpful to take notes on when the condition worsens, the cosmetics you use, and your lifestyle patterns when you visit for your initial consultation. If you mention in advance that you have dry skin and are concerned about irritation, they will be able to guide you accordingly.230026.10.22
- 02CommentsWhen comparing prices, it would be helpful to request a breakdown of the basic package and optional items per session. Please check which items are included—such as diagnostic imaging, consultation, extraction, anti-inflammatory injections, and prescriptions—and verify if medication costs and VAT are separate. For packages, it would be convenient to compare options under the same conditions if you were informed of the session-specific composition, usage period, and settlement criteria for changing the plan midway.350026.10.22
- 03CommentsIf redness recurs even after extraction, it is recommended that you first consult a doctor to examine your current inflammatory condition and the cause of the recurrence, rather than simply comparing satisfaction reviews. Be sure to receive an explanation regarding the purpose of scaling, extraction, and prescription, as well as the specific items needed at this time. Also, ask when the progress will be evaluated after each session. Before selecting a package, checking the composition of each session, expected irritation, and guidelines for contacting the doctor if your skin becomes redder or painful will help you establish a proper care plan.180026.10.22
