Acne
is one of the most common diseases of the skin that can affect people of all
races, genders and ages. With millions of people affected by acne worldwide
each year, the most important for people suffering from acne issues are "Can I successfully treat this problem or will I be able to get rid of acne
completely?"
The
good news, however, is that while acne is still considered "medically
incurable", there are some good natural ways of "controlling acne
permanently and completely". The following analysis focuses on the various
options available treatment for those who suffer from acne.
Medical
therapy
Depending
on the severity and type of acne you may be prescribed a medication to be
applied topically, orally, or both. Some of these drugs often include:
- Topical retinoids in the treatment of comedones (blackheads). However, they have limited interest in inflammatory lesions such as pustules or cysts.
- Topical antimicrobials (Benzoyl peroxide) help to reduce bacteria on the skin and give good results in mild acne ( pustules / pimples) but can be irritating to the skin.
- Antibiotic therapy is generally done in moderate to severe acne. Topical antibiotics (e.g Cleocin-T, Benzamycin) are often helpful for mild cases of acne. Oral antibiotics (tetracycline, erythromycin ) have been used for years, but have different side effects.
If
you have scars, your dermatologist may suggest surgery to help heal acne
lesions and remove scarring.
- A laser can reshape scar tissue and reduce redness.
- Dermabrasion is a type of surgery that can remove surface scars and reduce the depth of deep scars.
- Another option is to transfer the fat part of the face body.
In
some cases, a single treatment can help scarring. But for lasting results,
several are often needed .
The
most severe forms of acne can be treated
For
more severe forms of acne that does not respond to prescription drugs or
natural treatments, you should work with your doctor to find the best
treatment.
