Sundry Cures For Your Acne |
|
Acne is commonly defined as a skin disorder that
results from the action of hormones on the sebaceous glands of the skin.
It is so common among the adolescents and young adults, but adults of
older age and infants are sometimes affected as well. Acne has long been
there for centuries, and many of the people dealt with this disease by
certain acne cures. But, are acne cures really possible?
As you may know, the market is now littered with “
acne cures”, and anywhere you look at, whether you walk to a particular
store on your neighborhood or surf the internet, “acne cures” are
there. However, if you will ask any of the dermatologist or medical researcher,
they will possibly say that acne cures do not really exist. While some acne
medicines like the accutane provide long term relief for some acne
patients, still arguments persist that acne cures are not yet in existent.
Although a number of experts claimed that acne cures
are not yet in the market, some people still find certain ways and
medicines and hailed them “acne cures”. One of those is the
over-the-counter products like the non-prescription acne cleansers,
astringents, pimple creams, and moisturizers. Some of these products
that are deemed “acne cures” are now available at local drug stores. To
some degree, they help unplug the whiteheads and blackheads, while the
others encourage the skin to peel off.
Aside from such samples of deemed “acne cures”, there are also
some topical antibiotics, known as the “prescription only” products.
Several acne patients and experts have claimed that these “acne cures”
help fight acne by means of killing the bacteria that greatly infect the pores.
Nevertheless, there are some instances that acne may become resistant to these
forms of “acne cures”, making them useless as it turns out. Perhaps
one of the reasons for this is the fact they have a number of unfavorable side
effects, such as dryness, redness, and irritation.
Oral antibiotics which are considered “acne cures” are also there,
but one of the unfavorable idea about them is the fact that these “acne
cures” can affect the entire body, causing serious side effects.
The known side effects of oral antibiotics are nausea and dizziness.
Some vitamin A derivatives are greatly deemed by many as another great form of
“acne cures” that they can prevent skin cells from clumping together
and they promote shedding of the skin. However, just like the above mentioned “acne
cures”, these too have a number of side effects, such as dryness,
redness, and irritation. There are even come cases that these “acne
cures” are cause of some psychological disorders and birth defects.
Whatever your view of “acne cures” is, one thing that is so important to note is
the fact that prevention is still the strongest key. As the common
aphorism goes, “prevention is better than cure”.
