Thousands of males and females have been asked lately about the most irritating beauty calamities, and most respondents named breakouts the most irritating problem.
Acne, although mostly found in teens, may occur at any age. Apart from the face, it can also happen on the neck and back.
How to cure? First, try out over-the-counter acne solutions containing salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide.
Benzoyl peroxide is the most usually used acne solution and is regarded as one of the most powerful ones in the market. If you are suffering from mild cases of acne that is non-inflammatory, benzoyl peroxide is regarded as exceedingly efficacious. Since it is secure for use on both adults and teenagers, it is preferred to other kinds of treatments.
Yet, there are several minor side effects. It can result in dryness in the skin. If you think your skin is too dry, stop applying the treatment for some time and then, administering a lower concentration of benzoyl peroxide, try again.
Salicylic acid works best on non-inflammatory cases of acne and it starts by removing the dead skin, thus keeping the pores of the skin pour and precluding plugging. When nothing plugs the pores, your chances of getting whiteheads and blackheads reduce drastically. The side effect of this acne treatment is that it can lead to skin irritation. Patients have complained of dry skin, stinging or burning sensation, and flaking and peeling of the skin.
If the treatment does not work on you, talk to your family doctor about prescription acne solutions, including antibiotics, retinoids (Avita, Retin-A) and adapalene (Differin).
Antibiotics work on the P. Acnes bacteria and stop them from growing and spreading in the body. Even though they demonstate results faster, antibiotics are commonly not preferred by patients, as they cause side effects, such as indigestion, discoloration of the skin, lightheadedness and sensitivity to light.
If your skin is severely affected by cysts, your family physician may recommend isotretinoin (Accutane) or may send you to a dermatologist. Since grave side effects are possible, males and females taking Accutane should be cautiously observed by their doctors. Laser or light therapy may be used if other acne solutions appear ineffective.
