Use Of Cetirizine To Treat Acne?

Hello Jefri,

Cetirizine is an antihistamine that works to help deal with allergic symptoms, such as colds, nasal congestion, rashes, itching on the skin. Cetirizine is generally not used to treat acne.

Acne itself is influenced by many factors such as excess oil, clogged skin pores, acne-causing bacteria, hormonal, genetic, skincare and makeup used, and stress. To deal with acne, you can try to do the following tips:

Get enough rest
Avoid stress
Avoid touching your face before washing your hands
Avoid sun exposure
Clean the face before going to sleep
Use home peels that contain salicylic acid if necessary
Avoid rubbing or squeezing pimples
Use over-the-counter acne medications
Choose non-comedogenic skincare
Minimize the use of makeup

If with the tips above acne remains difficult to improve or even more, it would be better if you consult directly with a dermatologist so that further tests can be done to ensure the condition of your skin so that you can be given further optimal treatment. Acne treatment can be with certain medications or creams, or with actions if necessary such as chemical peels, lasers, photodynamics, corticosteroid injections, and mesotehrapy.

Hope it helps you,

Thank you
