The truth about acne: treatment

There is no overnight remedy for acne. Treatment will be used for weeks or months to have an effect.

  1. Use of antibiotics. This can reduce the number of bacteria on the skin and in the pores. Examples include erythromycin and metronidazole.

  2. Hormone pills. It should be taken only on a prescription. Males shouldn’t take it, as there may be some side effects.

  3. Retinoids. They act primarily to unblock pores. Taking vitamin A orally doesn’t have the same effect.

Other methods of treatment include the use of steroids, lasers, or chemical peels. These methods are more complicated and can only be carried out by a dermatologist.

In conclusion, Acne takes about one to two weeks to clear up on its own. You can speed it up with medicated treatments and a good skin-care routine. Also, know that the skincare products that work for you might not work for someone else. Seek help if you feel your acne is getting severe.
