医師からのワンポイント アドバイス

---

お肌のトラブルのひとつにあげられる「ニキビ」は、10代にニキビの発症が多くみられますが、実は成人になってからもニキビに悩まされる方も多く、「大人ニキビ」や「吹き出物」と呼ばれています。

ニキビには面ぽう（コメド）と呼ばれる黒ニキビと白ニキビ、赤く腫れて痛いニキビがあります。

ニキビのできる要因は①皮脂分泌の量が増え②毛穴がつまり③アクネ桿菌が増殖して炎症がおこります。

治療法はさまざまですが、皮膚の皮脂量を減らしたり、細菌増殖や炎症を抑えるための内服薬や外用薬を使用します。

ニキビの早期治療は、症状を抑えるだけでなくニキビ跡になるのを防ぐことができます。

皮脂分泌量が増える、毛穴を詰まらせる要因は、間違ったスキンケアやストレス、食生活やホルモンバランスの乱れ、生活習慣や手で肌を触る癖まで多種多様です。できてしまったニキビを治療すると同時に、ニキビの発生につながる生活習慣を改善する努力も行い、新たなニキビを増やさないようにしつつ、一度治ったニキビが再発しないようケアすることが重要です。

繰り返すニキビや症状がなかなか良くならない場合は、早めに受診されることをお勧めします。

Asymptomatic patients may not display no symptoms of illness. Vulnerable people should get vaccinated against Influenza as the stop gap until the COVID vaccine is found. The Flu vaccine would protect susceptible people from, as well as exclude the Flu and H1N1 viruses should they start to show URTI or ARI symptoms.

- Latest Influenza Vaccine

The latest Influenza Vaccine is now available. It protects against the Flu and H1N1 Viruses. In the event that a person displays flu-like symptoms after the Flu vaccination, both Flu and H1N1 may be excluded in his diagnosis, and treatment can be sought quickly should the patient have contracted COVID-19.

Ministry of Health Safety protocols are adhered to at all times for the safe vaccination of you and your family.
