Acne Treatment


Acne is a disorder of the skin's oil glands that results in a skin condition, in which plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), pimples and deep lumps (cysts or nodules) occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and even upper arms. Acne mostly affects teenagers, but can also occur in your 20s or 40s. Although acne is not life threatening, it can be disfiguring and affect one's self esteem. Acne can lead to permanent scarring of the affected areas. Prevention of scarring is one of the major goals of acne treatment.

Causes of Acne
Increasing or changing hormone levels are one of the main causes of acne (hence the prevalence in puberty). Changing hormone levels can also lead to acne during pregnancy. Acne can be hereditary. Certain drugs like lithium and barbiturates are known to cause acne. Other causes/triggers could be stress, greasy cosmetics, high humidity or pollution. Acne is not a food related problem and is therefore not caused by eating chocolate or greasy foods. Acne is not caused by dirty skin either. Squeezing, picking or hard friction of the affected skin can make acne worse and spread the infection. For the same reason, people with acne should not scrub their skin, exfoliate or use strong detergent soaps.

Acne Treatments
There are many over the counter acne treatment medications available. For more severe cases of acne, medical assistance should be sought from a dermatologist. Drug therapy is normally used to reduce painful lesions, inflammation and prevent scarring. Drug therapy can be in the form of oral medication or a cream/ointment, or sometimes both together. Creams/ lotions tend to moisturize the skin, whereas gels and solutions, being alcohol based, may dry the skin.

Medications commonly used as acne treatments are benzoyl peroxide cream/gel/lotion/soap, salicylic acid, sulfur, antibiotics and resorcinol.

Non drug therapy treatments include injections, peeling agents and/or minor surgical/medical procedures, or laser treatments. All of these treatments are for the acne itself and to reduce scarring.

As alternative acne treatments people use vitamins (zinc, vitamin A/E/B and chromium supplements), black currant seed oil or evening primrose oil. Bioherbaceutical medicines, which are compounds designed with homeopathic and traditional Chinese medicine principals in mind i.e. aimed at treating the cause of Acne, as opposed to the symptoms, are also used. As these products have not been clinically proven as safe, it is better to do plenty of research before starting treatment. Homeopathic treatments include the use of kali bromatum, sulfur or Antimonium tartaricum. There are also herbal teas available for acne treatment. Some alternative treatments recommend diets high in beta carotene like carrots, pumpkin and yellow/orange fruits and vegetables. Other alternative therapies like aromatherapy, acupressure, juice therapy, reflexology and yoga, all have special components aimed at acne treatment. There are even Ayurvedic treatments for Acne, with a special diet, teas, cleansing techniques and facial masks. Ingredients range from chick pea paste to turmeric-sandalwood cream.

Some other tips for acne sufferers;
Avoid frequent handling of the skin
Shave carefully
Avoid sun tanning
Choose cosmetics/body products carefully. Choose oil free products and do not apply excessively to acne areas.
Keep hair clean and oil free.
Keep long hair off the affected area (face and shoulders)
Gently cleanse the skin at least twice a day and especially after exercise.
