Acne Medicine Solutions: Which Is Best for You

No medicine is thoroughly effective for everyone. What works for another may not be as effective for you. This could be due to a number of factors: skin type difference, how serious the condition at hand is, and even a person’s lifestyle.

Acne Medicine Prescribed by Your Doctor

There are certain medicine products that may not be purchased without a doctor’s prescription. Even if you find a way of purchasing it without your doctor’s permission, it’s still for your own good if you consult your doctor regarding the medicine product before using it.

Topical Antimicrobials – These medicine products work by attacking the bacteria causing to appear on the surface. As the term “topical” suggests, they are applied directly to your skin.

Oral Antibiotics – Yes, it’s possible indeed that you can cure yourself from through oral medication. It’s imperative however that you use the right dosage or risk having your body immune to the medicine’s

effects.

Oral Contraceptives – Although this has been effective in treating acne, remember that it was not primarily intended for such use. As a result, manufacturers hadn’t concentrated in ensuring that their products don’t have any side effects when used for treating acne.

Off the Counter (OTC) Medicine

On the other hand, there are readily available medicine products being sold in drug stores and which don’t require a prescription from your doctor. Be sure to read the instructions carefully to ascertain that you’re not at risk of suffering from any side effects.

Salicylic Acid – This ingredient can be found in numerous types of OTC medicine products and in various forms such as creams, lotions, and even pads. It is only effective however in treating mild cases of acne.

Resorcinol – This ingredient is not as popular as the two previous OTC medicine solutions discussed. Nevertheless, resorcinol is able to effectively treat mild and in mitigating blackhead and whitehead production.

Sulfur – This is another lesser-known ingredient found in several OTC medicine products in spite of the fact that it has been used for more than half a century already.

Herbal Medications – Be wary when using herbal medications to treat because many herbal medicine products have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
