00:00MD, today we talked about the specialization of Dr. Jeanne.
00:05Of course, it's still about the skin.
00:07And we have a specific topic about the so-called cystic acne.
00:14What is that, doctor?
00:15You know, actually, there are different manifestations of cystic acne.
00:19There are blackheads, whiteheads, papules, or just redness.
00:23There are also pustules.
00:24And one of them is called cystic acne.
00:28If you have that, usually, this is what causes pustules or deep acne scars.
00:35That's why it's really good to talk about that this morning.
00:38Well, for more information about cystic acne,
00:41here it is, let's watch this report.
00:45There are skin conditions that look almost the same,
00:50but there are different ways to treat it.
00:54So if you don't consult an expert,
00:57you may get sick or not recover because of the wrong medicine.
01:01Just like what happened to 25-year-old Beatrice.
01:07Before, wherever she went, she was sure that she has a picture of the place.
01:11But last year, something else developed in her.
01:16In the exchange of pictures, her pimples started to increase.
01:21At first, it was just a little.
01:24I mean, it was just two or three, but it was big.
01:29So I just let it go because they said that it will also disappear.
01:35She thinks of different reasons for the increase in her pimples.
01:40Beatrice admits that she is not that conscious of her skin.
01:46But the increase in her pimples really affects her.
01:51When it started, it was really a lot.
01:54Physically, she already had pain because she was already big.
01:59Then her face started to hurt.
02:01Because all people are just pointing at you.
02:05I mean, when they see you, they ask.
02:08Because you used to ask,
02:12why did this happen? Why did it become like that?
02:16I woke up today and there's like 7,000 of you
02:20are very concerned and worried about what's happening with my face.
02:24To find out what her breakouts are,
02:27she searched the internet and asked around.
02:31Even my acquaintances who have acne,
02:35who have experienced acne,
02:38they ask me to buy a medicine
02:41that will treat their acne.
02:45She thinks she has fungal acne.
02:48I used ointments,
02:50the ones that are prescribed in drugstores,
02:54for fungal acne.
02:56But instead of getting better, her condition worsened.
03:02Our dermatologist and host, Dr. Jean Marquez, explained that
03:06the bumps, which are the fungus and acne,
03:11which are the bacteria, look almost the same.
03:14That's why, like Beatriz,
03:16many people are confused about the difference between the two.
03:19First of all, acne is not caused by a fungus.
03:22It can happen that there's a secondary fungal infection in some cases,
03:26especially if a lot of people apply ointment
03:30or if the patient is immunocompromised.
03:32There's no such thing as a fungal acne.
03:35In Beatriz's case,
03:37no matter what ointment she used,
03:40she didn't get better because of a misunderstanding.
03:44That's why she consulted a dermatologist.
03:46And Beatriz found out that
03:48what she was experiencing was not a fungal infection,
03:51but cystic acne.
03:55Cysts are actually when
03:58the contents of the acne become enveloped by a cover.
04:04Inside that cyst,
04:06you can see that there can be an accumulation of oils there,
04:11of whiteheads that are inside the cyst.
04:15This type of acne is deeper and more painful.
04:22It can be considered a severe case of cystic acne.
04:27It can also grow in older people.
04:30Sometimes, you also see cystic acne in the older population,
04:37in the 50s.
04:39There's no age limit,
04:41but oily skin is more prone to cystic acne.
04:44Even in the older population,
04:46there are hormonal changes, like during menopause.
04:49Some menopause patients are prone to develop acne.
04:54There are several practical ways
04:56to avoid and reduce cystic acne,
04:59according to Dr. Jean.
05:01You can wash your face with only a mild facial wash.
05:06Don't use products that are too strong.
05:10If you rub your face,
05:13the oil will be removed,
05:15but you won't feel that your skin is tight
05:19or that it's squeaky clean.
05:21You go for good fats,
05:22like coconut oil, avocados,
05:27and fish.
05:29These are good fats.
05:30These can actually decrease inflammation.
05:32Don't use coconut oil.
05:34It won't leave a big scar
05:36or it won't cause more inflammation,
05:39redness, or irritation.
05:41Dr. Jean also reminds us
05:43that it's best to consult a dermatologist.
05:46You can use a lot of products.
05:50You should be able to put only what's good for you,
05:57what's essential,
05:58and the best one for your type of skin.
06:02After consulting a dermatologist,
06:04Beatriz was able to get the treatment she needed.
06:09There are no oily foods
06:11and less meat.
06:14All products should be mild.
06:16No alcohol, no fragrance.
06:20Her love for taking pictures
06:24and sharing her acne story came back.
06:27Beatriz's video about this
06:29already has more than 20 million views.
06:33Check with the expert.
06:35We don't know what's happening to our skin.
06:39They are the ones who know.
06:41It's better to accept our skin
06:45so that we won't be insecure about our skin.
06:51And to be more confident.
06:54Skin goals are easier to achieve
06:56if you don't try new things.
06:58So it's better to listen to experts
07:01so that you can achieve your goals.
