Acne is a problem that affects a large amount of people across the
world. Contrary to popular misconceptions it does not discriminate
completely against age or sex. It's true that it does seem to be closely
associated with hormones and people who are suffering from high hormone
levels and for this reason teens are more likely to develop acne than any
other age group. However, over a quarter of adults will also develop acne
at some point in their adult lives. Adult acne can cause depression and
social anxiety so treating it can be vital to sufferers. There have been
many different treatments for acne in the past but many have failed to
regularly and consistently get rid of acne.
1- There are a number of cleansing lotions and moisturizers that can be
bought over the counter in chemists or supermarkets. These have a varied
degree of success and some will work better than others. Unfortunately
they can be expensive, especially if you need to try several before you
have any success.
2- Antibiotics can work well with some patients, but the body quickly
builds up an immunity to most antibiotics rendering them useless. Also,
while antibiotics might work to get rid of acne they can also produce
undesirable side effects in users. You may become more light sensitive or
suffer from dizziness or nausea.
3- Acne seems to be closely related to increased levels of hormones.
For this reason many women suffer from acne at the same time each month
during their menstrual cycle. A doctor may prescribe a birth control pill
that balances hormone levels and therefore works effectively to get rid of
acne.
4- Vitamin derivatives and nutritional supplements work very well to
get rid of acne as long as you buy the right ones. Vitamins A, C and E as
well as Iron work well in the fight against acne and are readily available
from most grocery stores. Some of these supplements and derivatives can
have some notable side effects. The gels and creams will make you more
sensitive to light so you should always combine them with sun screen.
5- Short treatments of intense light have been proven to be very
effective in helping your get rid of acne. usually conducted over a four
week period many patients have shown excellent progress, especially when
compared to medicines and other techniques.
