For a large number of teenagers and young adults, acne is more than a
skin disorder; it is a very painful condition that usually affects the
social life of such individuals. With the obsession of the media on
physical appearance, many teenagers and young adults get frustrated
feeling that they can not be as attractive as the models, actors, and
singers they see on television. This is chiefly due to the outbreak of
acne pimples on their skins.
If your acne condition is termed as
"mild" meaning that you only get a little amount of pimples on your
face, then it seems the best treatment for you would be a topical
medication which is usually referred to as an over the counter acne
treatment. There are quite a number of over the counter products to
choose from as they come in various forms like: creams, ointments, soaps
and facial pads.
Topical medications usually contain the same
active ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylic aid. These
ingredients work by killing bacteria on the affected areas of your skin
or by peeling a very thin layer of your skin, which opens up your
previously blocked hair pores. When you use such products daily, it
cleanses your skin and prevents dryness. These ingredients have the
after-effect of providing a thin protective layer on the surface of your
skin. This helps in protecting your skin against bacterial infections,
healing existing pimples, refreshing complexion, purifying pores, drying
up and preventing new pimples. These ingredients are very effective in
combating mild to moderate acne problem.
Most dermatologist and
doctors tend to recommend the use of products that contain benzoyl
peroxide and salicylic acid for combating acne. Although these products
are effective in combating some forms of the skin problem, they are not
enough for severe sufferers or some certain types like cystic acne.
If
you're a teenager or a young adult and you're afflicted with a severe
form of acne, I guessed you must have tried some creams, lotions or gels
that have only slightly improved your condition. Since one of the main
causes of your skin problem is due to over-active hormones, it is only
logical for dermatologist and doctors to prescribe acne pills which work
on the inside of the body in an attempt to correct hormonal and
chemical imbalances in your body system. In case you are afflicted with
Cystic acne, it is certain that you have over-active hormones, which is
definitely one of the root causes of the problem.
The most common
acne pills prescribed by doctors are accutane, and antibiotics like
tetracycline, clindamycin, and erythromycin. Although topical forms of
these antibiotics are available, a large number of doctors and
dermatologist tend to prescribe the oral form. They work in killing the
bacteria that contribute in the formation of pimples. But the downside
of most antibiotics is that with time the bacterium on the skin develops
resistance to it.
Another category of acne pills used in
treatment is the hormonal treatment, which are effective in women.
Cortisone, Cyproterone and drospirenone work at decreasing the excessive
amount of oil produced in the hair pores.
Accutane as previously
mentioned is also an acne pill that doctors prescribed in treating
severe cases of acne. A large number of sufferers have found relief from
their breakouts while using accutane. Accutane simply reduces the
amount of oil produced by your skin. One major risk of taking accutane
pills is the harmful effects it has on pregnant women and nursing
mothers, which is in the form of birth defects.
So Is There Any Oral Medication For Acne Without Side Effects?
With
all the following pills mentioned which seem to have one downside or
the other, most sufferers would wonder if there actually were a magical
pill, which could improve their condition. If you suffer from acne it
would interest you to know that there are quite a number of pills in the
market, which combat the root causes of your problem - which is usually
due to chemical and hormonal imbalances. These acne pills contain
antioxidants and herbal extracts which helps in eliminating the free
radicals that are dangerous to your skin and promote infections. They
also fight inflammation to reduce the redness you see on your skin and
heal damaged skin.
Although using the acne pills found in the
acnezine and clear-pores systems would give you improvement on your skin
texture and prevent formation of new zits. However these systems take
no chances by also providing an external "topical" medication, which
cleanses the hair pores and fights acne-causing bacteria. In order words
these systems combat the problem from the inside and the outside of
your body.
If you suffer from a severe case of acne then I will
certain ask you to take action by ridding your skin of pimples by using a
quality skin care product that fights the problem at its roots and also
on the skin. One benefits of using an internal and external treatment
is that your pimples problem would be gone in the shortest possible
time, as you do no have to wait long periods to begin seeing relief.
A
product like the acnezine skin care system was what I used in erasing
pimples off my face, it contains a moisturizing cream and a Skin
Anti-Oxidant Capsule, which ensures that your skin texture improves. An
excellent skin care system on the market, which is by far the number one
acne system, is the clear pores system. It is capable of combating both
body and facial acne. It consists of a deep cleansing facial/body wash,
facial/body protection cream and an herbal supplement. This system is
very effective for severe sufferers as it ensures total acne treatment.
The healthy pores system is also a very good skin care product that has
solved the problem of acne pimples for a large number of former
sufferers.
So what are you waiting for, go do something about your acne problem now!!! :-)
