Acne Treatment For Mild And Severe Acne |
|
Acne is such a common
problem that as many as ninety percent of people are said to
experience acne problem at some stage of their lives. Some of them
suffer from mild acne while in some cases acne gets very serious and
turn into severe acne.
Now, there is no dearth of acne
medicine in the market. You just have to go out to the chemist and
you would find a number of medicines available for you to choose
from. Many people indulge in self medication and find it very
convenient to shop for the medicines on their own without paying due
importance to medical advice. This is a very dangerous course to
follow. It needs to be clearly understood that self-medication can do
little good to one. It may make things worse, instead.
If your acne problem is mild or
moderate, you would probably not need medicinal treatment and a
little bit of precaution combined with healthy diet would do the
trick. In such cases all you need to do is increase the intake of
water, fruits and vegetables. Avoid eating fried food and resist the
tendency to eat fast food as best as you could. It would not only
prevent acne from worsening but would also help the body cure the
problem on its own.
However, the same
does not go for severe acne problem, which means that if your pimples
are infected or filled with pus, proper medical treatment may be
required. Normally, the medicines prescribed for external application
work well. But in certain extreme cases, therapeutic injections or
surgery may also be needed.
Conventionally, acne treatment involves
medications like minocycline, tetracycline and doxycycline. These
medicines together with other antibiotics do away with the
microorganism that worsens the acne problem. Oral antibiotics are
normally prescribed in severe acne problems only.
It is up to you to decide which acne
treatment you want to go for. However, irrespective of the treatment
you opt for, ensure that you keep your skin clean and take every
possible step to prevent infection. If the problem seems to be
worsening, do consult a dermatologist. Let a specialist prescribe the
medicine for you according to the severity of your problem.
