How do I choose a dermatological drug to effectively treat skin problems?
Dermatological pathologies cover a wide spectrum of skin conditions, from chronic inflammatory diseases to acute skin infections. Treatment is based on a number of approaches:
- topical treatments: these are the first line of treatment for many dermatological conditions. Retinoids and benzoyl peroxides are indicated for acne, while corticosteroids and immunomodulators are prescribed for eczema and psoriasis. Topical antifungals are used to treat mycoses.
- systemic treatments: some skin disorders require oral or injectable treatment. Antibiotics are indicated for severe bacterial infections (impetigo, folliculitis), oral antifungals for extensive mycoses, and immunosuppressants for autoimmune skin diseases.
- Complementary care: moisturizing and the use of emollients are essential to reinforce the skin barrier and limit inflammatory flare-ups. Dermoprotectors help restore epidermal integrity, particularly after aggressive treatments.
- prevention and hygiene: avoiding irritants, rigorously applying sun protection products and adopting an appropriate dermatological routine are essential measures to limit the onset and aggravation of skin pathologies.
Regular medical follow-up is recommended, especially for chronic conditions requiring therapeutic adjustment according to clinical evolution.

How to complement dermatological treatments with simple gestures?
As a complement to medical treatments, adopting the right daily gestures can limit symptoms and improve skin health:
- appropriate dermatological hygiene: use of gentle, soap-free cleansers with no irritating agents, to avoid damaging the skin's protective hydrolipidic film. For skin prone to acne or infection, purifying products that regulate excess sebum can be integrated into the routine.
- moisturizing and skin nutrition: the application of emollients and moisturizing creams helps prevent skin dryness and reinforce the skin's barrier function. Some products contain specific active ingredients such as glycerine, hyaluronic acid or ceramides for targeted action.
- rigorous sun protection: exposure to UV rays can aggravate certain dermatological conditions (acne, rosacea, melasma, etc.). Daily use of a suitable sunscreen (SPF 50+ for sensitive skin conditions) is recommended.
- avoidance of aggravating factors: tobacco, alcohol, stress and an unbalanced diet can have a negative impact on skin health. Adopting a healthy lifestyle helps limit skin inflammation and promote cell regeneration.
- Localized care and appropriate gestures: avoid scratching lesions to prevent superinfection, opt for cotton clothing to limit irritation, and use sterile compresses to protect wounds or fragile skin lesions.
By combining these gestures with appropriate treatment, it is possible to considerably improve skin quality and reduce recurrence of common dermatological conditions.
