Here are some effective ways to treat red swollen acne at home:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2448\"><strong><em>Gentle Facial Cleansing<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2449\" data-end=\"2585\">Use sulfate-free, mild cleansers to deeply clean without over-drying. This is the foundation of all treatment for inflamed red acne.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2587\" data-end=\"2608\"><strong><em>Spot Treatment<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2609\" data-end=\"2820\">Products containing Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, or Tea Tree Oil can help reduce inflammation and speed up the healing process. These are suitable for both red inflamed acne and red swollen cystic acne.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2822\" data-end=\"2851\"><strong><em>Herbal Facial Steaming<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2852\" data-end=\"2974\">Steam with lemongrass, ginger, or lemon to help open pores and naturally reduce inflammation.
