Why is Acne so difficult to get rid off?
Sometimes it might seem a little unfair. You thought that your acne had finally cleared up, and it shows up again. Acne isn’t just a “teenager’s problem”, because more and more adults are getting it.
The acne you got as an adolescent is called acne vulgaris. It’s different from the condition called acne rosacea. The biggest recent breakthrough in the treatment of acne has been the advent of Retin-A, a type of vitamin A.
There are other treatments that go after the root causes of the problem, and they are sometimes used in conjunction. Some of them are: Any of the alpha hydroxy acids: gluconic and glycolic acid, or lactic acid -Accutane for severe cases -Birth control pills -Topical antibiotic creams -Benzoyl peroxide
Accutane is the most hazardous of all of the above options, due to its risk of birth defects If you’ve chosen to use Accutane, and you’re female, make sure that you have a reliable birth control method on hand.
If you go to a doctor for your acne, it will be treated surgically. It can also be done at home. Generally it’s not recommended to squeeze pimples yourself, because it can spread acne from one area to another. It’s generally recommended that people who have more severe acne visit a doctor for treatment.
Those who have milder cases often can successfully treat their acne “over-the-counter”. Your corner drugstore is full of treatment options. Try one!
Alternatively, some have success with the many over-the-counter acne treatments available today. If you have ever tried to buy an acne remedy, you probably know that there are a lot of choices in this area, and no one choice is right for all of us.
