How long does it take for skin problems to be cured? What medicine do girls take?

The vast majority of daily skin problems do not require medication at all. If oral medication intervention is really needed, a dermatologist must make a diagnosis and prescribe it. Buying medication indiscriminately is simply putting a burden on the body.

Don't believe it, I just went through a trap a while ago with my best friend who I live with. During that time, she stayed up until two or three o'clock every day while working on a project, and her cheeks started to shut up. She posted online that a certain imported anti-acne tablet would cure the problem. She spent hundreds of dollars on it and took it for almost two months, but it didn't heal much. Instead, her aunt postponed it for more than ten days, and she was so scared that she rushed to see a dermatologist. The doctor performed a dermatoscope on her and said it was simply a damaged barrier and abnormal oil secretion. He didn't even prescribe oral medication, so he prescribed a mild adapalene and asked her to go to bed before 11 o'clock every day and drink less milk tea. As a result, when she was 28 days old, when she woke up in the morning and touched her face, the bumpy lips were basically smoothed, and even the red marks were mostly faded.

Of course, not all skin problems can be solved by relying on external nutrition. If it really reaches the point where you need to take medicine, there must be a clear problem within the body. I met a girl in the skin care community. She suffered from severe cystic acne caused by polycystic ovary syndrome. Her face was covered with red and hard nodules. After applying external medicine for more than half a year, she could not get better. Later, she went to a joint consultation with gynecology and dermatology. The doctor prescribed hormone-regulating drugs and low-dose drugs. She took a large amount of doxycycline in strict compliance with the doctor's instructions for more than three months before her hormone levels returned to the normal range. After the acne slowly subsided, the acne marks were metabolized for half a year, and it took almost a year to return to smooth skin. This kind of pathological problem cannot be rushed.

Nowadays, many people take various beauty and health care products as "skin-conditioning medicine". Grape seeds, whitening pills, and collagen peptides are so popular that they are so popular. In fact, the academic circle has always been controversial about the role of such products: some studies believe that the antioxidant ingredients and small molecule collagen peptides can indeed play a role in supplementing the skin. However, many studies believe that most of the effects seen with this type of product are placebo effects. If you usually eat a balanced diet and eat enough fruits, vegetables and high-quality protein every day, the effect of taking these health products is not as obvious as if you eat two more oranges a day and stay up less late at night. There are friends around me who have been taking collagen peptides for half a year and said that their faces do feel a little swollen. However, there are also friends who have been taking collagen peptides for three months but have not seen any changes. Instead, they have developed a bunch of small rashes due to allergies to the additives. It really varies from person to person.

To put it bluntly, your skin is a barometer of your physical condition. If you occasionally have a small problem, you should first look at your work, rest and diet to find the cause. Don’t just think about taking medicine to solve it. If it really happens repeatedly, with pain, itching and pus, just contact a dermatologist. It will be more effective than reading ten Internet celebrity posts.
