Pimples or acne vulgaris - an inflammation of the sebaceous glands. Most often they appear on the skin of adolescents during puberty Puberty child - stages of a complex path   and gradually disappear after 20 years. Acne vulgaris develops against the background of hormonal changes in the body that contribute to activation of the sebaceous glands and their functions. The sebaceous glands secrete wherein an increased amount of sebum with the change in its chemical composition.

This process is accompanied by increased desquamation of the stratum corneum of the skin surface, causing exfoliated skin cells clog the sebaceous glands, forming plugs - comedones. Comedones are covered with dust and dirt and looks like black dots. The fully isolated from the external environment sebaceous glands begin to reproduce an infection that causes inflammation of the sebaceous glands - the pimples or blackheads.

Acne requires complex treatment. Picked this treatment the doctor individually, depending on the results of the survey (hormones, immunnogramma, signs of inflammation in the blood count), the phases of the inflammatory process, the general condition of the patient, the presence of his co-morbidities, and so on.

This preparation when applied to the skin very quickly eliminates the main signs of inflammation - swelling and redness of the skin. This happens due to the fact that the active substance of the drug - mometasone suppresses the formation of the main biologically active substances involved in the development of inflammatory response - inflammatory mediators. As a result of an inflammatory response quickly fizzles.

Contraindications for use elokoma are primarily infectious and inflammatory processes in the skin, and its side effects - reduction of skin immunity. In addition, after treatment elokomom on facial skin can appear white spots and areas hirsutism.

Will Elokim acne

Elokim perfectly removes inflammation, but this beneficial effect on the skin elokoma ends - prolonged or incorrect (for example, pustular rash) the application of this preparation possible complications. The main complication is reduced immunity of the skin, which leads to the active dissemination of infectious-inflammatory process.

Recently, it was found that short courses elokoma application (if it is applied a thin layer of no more than once per day) may not decrease, but on the contrary, even strengthen skin immunity. Of course, if Elokim was used in the phase of infiltration, when has not yet formed an abscess.
