Acne Treatment Helps People Put their Best Face Forward
Acne is a disease that affects people around the world. It isn’t an American disease and it isn’t a disease that only affects teens. In today’s society almost anyone can be affected by the ravages of acne and the damage to skin it leaves behind. While acne is most commonly found on the face and neck it can also be found on the chest, back, arms, and legs.
There are many treatment options for those who suffer from chronic consistent acne. The available treatments consist of over the counter medications, prescription drugs, laser treatments and other invasive skin therapies. It is wise to begin with over the counter medications. There are four active ingredients for over the counter acne medications you should try at least one product that contains each of the four active ingredients before giving up on over the counter medications and moving along to the prescribed medications.
It is fairly safe to assume that increasing medications also bring increasing price tags. While girls have things a little better than the average guy (they can be prescribed oral contraceptives in order to combat acne) there are many different treatment options available. From birth control to antibiotics, and ointments and creams to stronger chemicals and prescription drugs the options seem fairly limitless and are continuously escalating in severity as well as risk.
There is another option which gets far less press because it is a rather costly process and not 100% effective. However, it bears mention as a treatment option because it is often successful to some degree of removal even if it doesn’t remove all signs of acne and/or acne scarring. Our faces are the first thing most people see when the meet us, it is their first impression and for those who have suffered and continue to suffer with severe acne and have the battle scars to show for their efforts, it can be a humiliating and frightening experience to meet new people. If nothing else these treatments can help restore the self worth of people who haven’t felt that they’ve put their best face forward in a very long time.
Laser treatments are quite expensive and carry with them risks of their own. Every escalating treatment or procedure carries with it a greater risk for disfigurement, infections, and other side effects as a result of the procedure. It is important to remember than when weighing the decision of whether or not to pursue an aggressive course for your acne treatment.
The right acne treatment can not only prevent the formation of new acne, some treatments are also effective at removing the scars left behind from years of severe and often painful acne. If you are having serious to severe acne rather than mild to moderate acne it is very important that you consult your doctor and see what course of treatment he recommends. You should not have to suffer from this disease in silence when it is so very easily treatable. No matter what acne treatment you ultimately decide on be sure that you have read and studied all of the facts and risks involved in your treatment and that you are at the very least making a decision based on current and accurate information and with the advise of your doctor.

does oral acne treatments work better then creams and such? and if you know what worked for you?
i have moderate acne, and on the areas of my acne i also have eczema! so its very hard for me to try and deal with both since their opposite problems with opposite needs.
homemade remedy to clear acne for a lifetime:
Things You’ll Need:
All natural facial soap, as pure as you can get it.
Baking Soda
Water
Benzoyl Peroxide, any strenth
Facial Mask, green clay type
Clean dry towel
Wash your skin lightly with an all-natural bar soap. I use Dr. Bronners Lavender bar soap. Be careful not to scrub your skin. All you need to do is to create a nice lather all over and rinse well with clean water.
While your skin is still wet, pour about 2 Tbsp. of Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) into your hand. Add to it just enough water to make a paste. Apply the paste all over your face and light work it around your face in circular motions for about 1 minute. Be careful not to press to hard, just use light circular motions. Rinse well with clean water.
Dry your skin by patting it lightly with a towel. Apply the Benzoyl Peroxide ONLY to the active acne spots. Allow to dry and then dab a little mud mask only on the spots. Leave on overnight.
You will gradually reduce the use of Benzoyl Peroxide as your skin clears until you do not use it at all. The Baking Soda works very quickly
What is the best acne treatment for fair skin?
I have very pale and sensitive skin. Also, i have redness that i would Love to get rid of! But i don’t want to spend a fortune! Is there an OTC acne treatment that really works without breaking the bank??
Look for face washes which contain the active ingredient benzoyl peroxide. This is the key ingredient in some of the best face washes. use a 5-10% benzoyl peroxide of mild to moderate acne and 10% for severe.
Try smashing one tablet of aspirin in a small bowl, then adding lemon juice to the mixture. Aspirin is acetesalicylic acid, chemically related to salicylic acid. Apply to the affected areas overnight. It boosts the healing process while reducing redness.
Try putting toothpaste (paste, NOT gel) on your face, cover it with a bandage, and keep it on all night. When you wash it off in the morning your acne will look better. The astringent and surfactant nature of the toothpaste will help diminish the appearance of pimples. But the toothpaste has been known to burn sensitive skin of the face, so be careful. If your face does burn, stop acne treatments and work on healing your burn.
Try using Bentonite Clay, a natural mineral powder which has been known to absorb impurities and help neutralise the skin’s oiliness, and can be found online. Mix 2 tablespoons with a dash of cold water and smooth over the face as a thick paste. Once dried gently wipe off with a flannel or sponge.

How can i get rid of my embarrassing chest acne?
I have chest acne and it’s pretty bad. The weird thing about it is that it comes and goes and i have no idea what causes it. I’m sick and tired of having to wear all t shirts because im so embarrassed of my chest. I’d really like some help with this one guys!
i think that the first thing that you should not do is scratch, also don’t put many acne treatments in there, then you should go see a determologist. try not to spray perfume or don’t put nothing in your chest(meaning avoid putting anythinh in your chest for a while), because maybe that is the problem. My lil. sister had the same problem, but we found out that the perfume she was putting on, was the cause of her getting acne, and rashes. HOPE THIS WORKS
