How To Deal With Acne

By Bradd Alan


Many teenagers and young adults are struggling with acne infection. A lot of research has been done on how to deal with this skin condition. Acne is caused by accumulation of dead cells on the skin, which then mixes with oil to form undesirable pimples on the face that evolve to blackheads and whiteheads. There are several cures for the skin condition, both modern and traditional. It is however advisable to consult the advice of a dermatologist before embarking any treatment.

One way you can deal with acne is through salt therapy. This practice is based on the assumption that acne occurs when the body lacks enough calcium sulfate. Not many people have tried this medication, although those who use it believe that it can cure many other ailments other than acne.

You can also use some traditional home remedies to cure uncomfortable pimples on the face. Applying small bits of toothpaste, raw egg whites, honey or lemons on the affected areas and leaving it overnight can help remove these pimples. Another home remedy is garlic paste. Dermatologists have not proved these old school home remedies yet, although it may not hurt to try.

Laser therapy is a much more advanced scientific method of dealing with acne infection. This method is quick and efficient, which means that you only need to visit the hospital once. Your doctor may apply different kinds of laser therapy depending on the nature and intensity of your pimples. Blue light therapy is for minor pimples, diode lasers are for slightly more advanced symptoms, while high intensity lasers are for stubborn long-term pimples.

Heat therapy is another modern technology used to treat troublesome pimples on the face. This technology normally involves reducing the size of the sebaceous glands to minimize the amount of oil they produce. This causes a temporary red appearance on the face because of the heat involved. Unlike the laser therapy, this skin therapy normally takes a bit of time to cure, sometimes even a few months.

Microdermabrasion is a much more recent method that involves elimination of the top layer of dead skin cells, and production of new ones so that any undesirable pimples are removed. Although this procedure requires several visits to the doctor, the results are amazing. This is a scientific procedure, and as such, you should maintain high standards of precaution.

Antibiotics are also another effective way to deal with acne. There are several antibiotics in the market, some may cause severe skin reactions, and as such, it is important to seek the advice of a dermatologist before embarking on any skin care products. You can cure acne with oral antibiotics, which work well to destroy bacteria and disease causing microorganisms.

Another slightly effective method to eliminate acne is through Isotretinoin. Many people prefer the use of antibiotics rather than Isotretinoin because the latter is much more expensive. This method works a little bit differently than antibiotics by lowering the level of sebum oil produced by your skin glands.
