Resumo
A acne é uma das doenças do folículo pilossebáceo que acomete diversos indivíduos independentemente da idade. Pode ser mais recorrente no período da puberdade, ocasionando lesões de diferentes graus e aspectos. O tratamento para controle e inibição do crescimento das bactérias causadoras da acne pode ser feito através de medicamentos orais e tópicos, que muitas vezes trazem consigo efeitos colaterais que podem ser prejudiciais à saúde. Uma alternativa de substituição do tratamento medicamentoso convencional seria a utilização de óleos essenciais devido suas propriedades terapêuticas. Por meio da análise integrativa de obras, buscou-se descrever a eficácia do óleo de melaleuca (Melaleuca alternifolia) no tratamento de acne ativa. Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico referente ao tema proposto em artigos, revistas eletrônicas, monografias e dissertações nos anos de 1990 a 2021. As buscas foram realizadas em bases de dados bibliográficos – PubMed, Google Acadêmico, Science Direct, SciELO Brasil, Elsevier e Repositórios Universitários. O período de coleta de dados foi entre fevereiro e maio de 2022. Os descritores utilizados para as buscas foram “Acne vulgar”, “Óleo essencial”, “Melaleuca alternifolia” e “Propionibacterium acnes”, sendo selecionadas obras nos idiomas português e inglês. Após o estudo e análise de três artigos científicos, constatou-se que o óleo de melaleuca é eficaz no controle da acne ativa, reduzindo em até 54% das lesões em 12 semanas, além de apresentar importante efeito bactericida em Staphylococcus aureus, uma das bactérias causadoras desta doença. As obras citadas e analisadas demonstram que o óleo de melaleuca além de reduzir o grau das lesões, foi bem tolerado pelos pacientes e não apresentou efeitos citotóxicos.
