I am 13 and I take minocycline. It works very good! Only occasionally do I get a pimple or two but that’s usually only if I sweated a lot that day and didn’t wash my face until later. Or if I drank a lot of soda that weekend.
I found that if you eat healthier, you won’t get as many pimples.
Benzoyl peroxide
wash your face everyday with salt and lime juice
then use honey as a mask
Here are just a few tips to treat them so they would disappear and not multiply.
First of all, when you see a small pimple, try to avoid the temptation of popping it. Popping it can cause it to multiply as it can spread the infection underneath the skin and the next morning you’d find dozens of them on your face! If ever you do pop a zit, make sure you wash it with soap and water or some alcohol to avoid the risk of infection.
Second, wash your face morning and night using mild soap or facial wash. You need to keep your face clean but you don’t need strong cleansers to do this. Stay with the mild ones so you would avoid irritation.
Third, choose the right toner. Toner is the new astringent as it’s a lot gentler to the skin. After washing your face, apply facial toner.
Fourth, exfoliate. Don’t exfoliate your skin everyday! Exfoliate every three days and use a gentle scrub. Don’t use a product that once used would make your face feel like it’s been scrubbed by sandpaper. Your facial skin is really sensitive and it can’t handle such beating. Be gentle with it.
Lastly, get enough sleep. Not enough sleep can cause pimple breakouts so make sure you get 8 hours of sleep a night. Sleep is a very important thing as it reduces your stress level. Stress influences acne breakouts so in order to reduce your stress level, get some sleep! When you have plenty of sleep, you don’t only get rid of acne but you feel much happier too!
I don’t know if any pharmacies stock Acnezine but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product via the offical site
It’s really worked for me ive been through a number of different products but this is by far the best
Best Of Luck!
wash your face 3-4 times a day, and sawpalmetto works at times.
I’ve been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it’s at.
I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.
I’m 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.
Literally the best acne face wash I’ve ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It’s unique cause of it’s herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem dot com at the time which was helpful.
You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn’t work it will still save you **** on the return policy.
Well good luck and best wishes.
Tetracycline is an adjunct antibiotic…to be used alongside topical treatments for acne unresponsive to first line topical treatments. If you don’t respond to antibiotics, then you move to isotretinoin (Accutane). It is a vitamin A derivative that basically “dries you out”, decreases your production of oil and eliminates acne in a very, very harsh way. I think it’s incredible that everyone else except the 1st response is trying to sell you something. When did Yahoo answers become a spam haven?
The best oral acne medication to take
Acne is something that almost every person will experience at some point in their life. It is the most common skin disease seen by physicians around the world. For most people acne hits them while they are teenagers, but it can happen at any time in your life. Some cases of acne might just be a pimple once a month, but other cases are more sever and might require prescription medication. In this article we will take a look at the different types of medications to help treat and cure acne. Some of the medications include oral acne treatment, topical treatment, birth control pills, other hormone therapy, and isotretinoin.
First, let’s take a look at why you might need to seek medical help for your acne. Sure acne is a part of 99.9% of the human race, but it doesn’t have to cause you pain. You should seek a dermatologist when you have reached the point where you might be embarrassed to go out in public. If you notice that once a pimple leaves your face you still have a mark where it was And thus, you should discuss this with a dermatologist to see what you can do to help prevent any further scarring.
Some of the options that you’ll be given for acne treatment might be a little more than you were looking for. The most commonly used acne treatment is just a topical treatment which is also known as a topical cream. These might be the most used because you can purchase some OTC instead of needing a prescription. The topical treatment kills bacteria and unclogs the pores. Oral acne treatment is more affective for people that have acne other places rather than just their face. It is also stronger than a topical cream and does require a prescription.
You may be curious as to why birth control pills are used as a form of acne treatment. If you know anything about birth control pills you will know that they are used to control hormones in the female body. This type of oral contraceptive causes the body to produce less oil, which in turn can help keep the face clearer and free of blemishes. Some people choose not to use this form of acne control mainly because of the side effects that could happen. Some of the common side affects include, vomiting, depression, headaches, bloating, breast tenderness, and even weight gain. There are other side effects that are more rare such as heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, increase in blood pressure, and even the chance of the birth control failing. Birth control pills can only be prescribed by your doctor. These are not available over-the-counter and should not be shared among friends and family members.
Isotretinoin is the last solution that we’re going to look at for acne treatment. This also could be categorized as an oral acne treatment since it is basically a vitamin supplement. It is much like the vitamin A. Isotretinoin should be taken with foods that are high in fat. This helps the medication be fully absorbed into the body and disperses like it should.
Whether you feel you need oral acne treatment, birth control pills, or just a topical cream you should contact a dermatologist in your area to see what would work best for your skin type. This will save you a lot of money at the drug store and you might even save your skin from being damaged more.
