Dr. John B. Barrett Serves Los Angeles with Acupuncture and Natural Medicine including Proven and Safe Treatments for Acne and Dermatological Conditions. Acne is a disorder of the hair follicle sebaceous glands, consisting of non-inflammatory lesions (open and closed comedones) and inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules and nodules). Many factors are responsible for the development of acne - sebum excretion, androgenic hormones, occlusions of sebaceous gland pores, and infection with propionibacterium acnes. The development of acne is also influenced by genetic factors, gastrointestinal function, environmental factors, cosmetics, and emotional factors. Acne is essentially due to excessive activity of the sebaceous glands, which are most numerous in the skin of the face, chest, and back. During puberty, theses glands grow rapidly and keratin may block the opening. Where partially dried keratinous matter blocks the opening of the sebaceous glands, comedones (whiteheads or blackheads) appear. In more serious cases, sebum trapped in the glands leaks around the pilosebaceous unit and may become infected by bacteria, resulting in papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts. Treating plans for acne with Acupuncture and Natural Medicine in Los Angeles usually combine acupuncture treatments with individually prescribed herbal capsules taken daily. Patients are given diet and nutrition advice along with methods to avoid stress. Clinical trials show acupuncture and chinese herbs to be almost 400% more effective than a conventional protocols using antibiotics.
