How to treat Propionibacterium acnes

Acne is a very disturbing problem for women, and the growth of acne will directly affect the beauty of people's faces. Many factors may cause acne on the face. In addition to some external stimuli, Propionibacterium acnes also plays a role. The secretion of Propionibacterium acnes is also closely related to people's physical factors. How can Propionibacterium acnes be treated?

1. Propionibacterium acnes

Propionibacterium acnes is a Gram-positive anaerobic short rod that is intracellular and belongs to the normal flora of the skin, generally residing in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands of the skin. As adolescents mature, keratin plugs appear at the openings of hair follicles and the secretion function of the sebaceous glands increases significantly. Because sebum contains more fatty acids and other ingredients, it is suitable for the growth and reproduction of P. acnes, thus becoming one of the main causes of acne.

2. Principle

The ionization constant of Propionibacterium acnes depends largely on the size of the eighth hydroxyl group in the molecule. The content of Propionibacterium acnes in contaminated feed is generally low and is less toxic to most animals than Propionibacterium acnes. Therefore, it can be ignored during feed testing, and the main analysis should be on the Propionibacterium acnes content. By replacing the phenylalanine in the Propionibacterium acnes molecule with amino acids such as tryptophan, valine, and lysine, a series of Propionibacterium acnes analogs were obtained, among which the analogs substituted with tyrosine, valine, threonine, and alanine were the most toxic, followed by the analogs substituted with methionine, tryptophan, and glutamate, and the analogs substituted with glutamine and proline were the least toxic. Threonine, hydroxyproline and lysine substituted analogs of Propionibacterium acnes also exist in nature.

3. Treatment

Treatment is mainly prevention and conditioning. For oily skin with strong sebum secretion, avoid excessive cleansing. After cleansing, pay attention to proper hydration and maintain water-oil balance. Try not to touch the acne on your face with your hands, as this can easily irritate the face. Eat a light diet, avoid spicy foods, do not drink alcohol or smoke, develop good living habits, exercise moderately, maintain a regular work and rest time, drink more water, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
