Getting Rid Of Acne

Acne control usually takes the form of topical application products containing benzoyl peroxide. The problem is that this compound can be a major skin irritant. Peroxide is an oxidant that can damage healthy skin tissue. You will find help with pimples within this article.

Though such applications are very effective in severe acne control, the user should weight the pros and cons of using benzoyl peroxide-based products carefully before actually prescribing them. It is best to consult a dermatologist for this.

Many dermatologists also favor tretinoin, since it has a dermabrasive (i.e. skin peeling) effect. This causes the skin’s pores to decongest. Invariably, tretinoin aggravates the acne before it begins to clear it up. Some unpleasant side effects like temporary pigment changes and flushing, stinging, swelling and scaling of skin can also occur with trenitoin.

This are expected side effects and there is no call for panic unless the symptoms do not go away. Tretinoin-based acne control products are available in the form of gels, lotions and creams for topical application. Using them regularly can produce favorable results in less than a month. Tretinoin treatment is for a medically specified period only. Its use should not extend beyond this period.

Acne light treatment: In acne light treatment intense blue light or red light is used to irradiate the affected area. The irradiation generates free radicals in porphyrins of the bacteria, which kills the bacteria.

Acne light treatment is considered the best acne treatment because it has a success rate of almost 75%, has no side effects and the chances of the bacteria developing resistance is remote. Acne light treatment takes about 2 to 3 months.
