If you suffer from acne anywhere on your face it can be really annoying, even more so if it is around the lips. You might even feel the urge at times to pop these blemishes. You must resist this urge as doing this could ultimately lead to acne scars.
Try to keep on top of them by gently cleaning the area that is affected. You should try to use a well balanced cleanser and some tepid water for this, and make sure that the water is not too cold or too hot. Try to avoid scrubbing or rubbing them with any cloth that is abrasive.
Many people use special creams and lotions for acne. Benzoyl peroxide is a very popular lotion as it is only concentrated to 2%. There are however many other kinds of lotions that can be found at all the local drug stores.
Lotions which only have a two percent concentration have been proven to be more effective at combating acne than ones with a higher percentage. So do not try to buy lotions that are higher assuming that it will clear your acne quicker.
You may have to apply a little moisturizer to your lips to combat the feeling of dryness that you can sometimes get when using Benzoyl peroxide. Any non-comedogenic moisturizer is suitable for dealing with any side effects that you may experience when using Benzoyl peroxide. But just be sure to choose a moisturizer that is manufactured specifically for acne care.
Any lotions that are sulfur based are a good type to use in acne treatment.
Clean any affected areas regularly every morning and try not to apply any lotion to areas of the skin that are not affected. If necessary you could try to mask any unsightly spots or pimples with a preparation treatment.
Benzoyl peroxide and moisturizer can be applied directly after cleaning of the affected area. After just one week you should start to see an improvement.
If for any reason the blemishes persist it is always advisable to consult your doctor. Blemishes that appear around the nostrils, lips or chin could be a sign of perioral dermatitis and the treatment for this is completely different to that of acne.
