History tells us that evolution is far better than revolution! When we talk and decide about medicines that treat acne, we have to keep aside our emotions, for acne is a emotional subject, which touches the patient's psychological tissues, very painfully. You are likely to be carried away by the attractive labels and full page advertisements, ?Want beautiful skin??-as if it is stored in shelves and you have to only tell the number of yards of skin that you require!
The so-called premium products designed to treat and prevent acne need a careful scrutiny. Always remember, your acne problem is YOUR problem. Never make the mistake of comparing it with the neighbor's acne problem. If no two individuals are alike, how can their skins be alike? It is you who have to decide, whether a particular medicine will work for you or not. A dermatologist has a major role to play in the acne drama, but you are the producer-director. You perhaps produced acne due to your wrong living and you better direct it and bring it to a happy ending!
What is acne after all? It is an inflammatory skin disorder of the skin's sebaceous glands and hair follicies. Are you aware that the skin breathes! If the pores become clogged, the microbes that are involved in cause acne flourish and then you get pimples, blackheads and often inflammation. It is possible to clear pimples and blackheads with proper remedies.
The post-inflammatory changes caused by acne are part of the skin's natural healing process. There are certain practices and medicines that can help facilitate their healing process. Using tretinoin (Retin-A, Renova, Avita) speeds up the skin's remodeling process and helps heal post-inflammatory changes.
Renewing cleanser gently exfoliates dead skin cells allowing benzoyl peroxide to penetrate pores. It is all about protecting your skin from forming new bacteria that cause the breakouts!
The most common agents to treat acne are the antibiotics, though not the safest! Side-effects and reactions can not be ruled out. Soaps, lotions, gels and creams are a matter of choice. Careful selection is the rule!
Rub garlic over the pimples and they would vanish without leaving a trace. Do it a number of times in a day. Garlic has cured very tough forms of acne cases, wherein the sufferers had thought that it is incurable and they are supposed to live with the scars forever. It is the external use of garlic that matters to finish off the presence of boils, pimples and spots on the skin. Garlic purifies blood, when you take it orally. Make garlic a regular part of your food and it will provide solid support to the skin to remain in the original condition. Also, it will keep the infections at bay.
So, for every minor acne problem, you need not visit the dermatologist. Only you should be sure of the merits of the medicines you take, and with right type of living, in co-operation with the Nature! Even then, say Hello to the dermatologist on the eve of New Year! You may still need his advice for some stubborn acne!
