Treating acne used to be a process of time, regular washing, and luck. Now however, in the twenty-first century, the problem with treating acne has shifted. There are now so many treatments out there that it can be hard to figure out what you want, or what you need to treat acne.
Everyone seems to be saying something different, and it can be hard to go to a doctor because many are very conscious of their acne, in particular facial acne.
So how do you treat acne? Well for a start, it won’t be simple. Particularly for more severe cases of acne and irritation, a good regime and system should probably include more than one treatment.
You need to decide whether you’d like something effective – and maybe perhaps too effective, or a natural route instead. Using a product such as Accutane can help remove spots, but may be too powerful. Accutane belongs to the retinoid medicines family, and works primarily involving the sebaceous gland – preventing white heads and black heads by making some cells less sticky and unable to form them, and by removing bacteria.
Accutane has taken the acne treatment world by storm – however being so effective, it bears serious side effects including jaundice, abdominal pain, headaches, itchy eyes and even depression. Because of this if you do decide that you want a powerful way to eradicate serious acne, and choose to use Accutane, then do take care and start off with smaller doses to see how it goes – stop at the first sign of pain or further irritation, as the side effect’s of Accutane are quite serious.
This is why many prefer to take a natural route of treatment – using herbal tea and herbal salves to pamper the skin naturally. Many respond quite well to this method of treatment, so it’s worth trying out. There are many recipes and remedies available out there explaining ways of making molds and creams using nothing but fruits vegetables and herbs.
As with most illnesses and health problems nowadays, Anti-biotics have also been found to be a useful treatment for acne and are part of many sufferers’ regimes. Antibiotics will kill bacteria, reduce the amount of irritating chemicals that are produced by the white blood cells and also reduce the concentration of some fatty acids to prevent serious inflammation.
The most prescribed anti-biotic for acne is tetracycline, and usually doses start off higher and are decreased as a change is noticed – remember to always finish the course of anti-biotics to prevent bacteria building up again, this time resistant.
There are so many different established ways of dealing with acne now that the way you choose to deal with them can simply be personal preference or how your body reacts to different treatments. Of course the severity of the irritation and the location also plays a part in decide what system of treatment you will use – so be sure to start off slowly and test out the market.
