Acne and Treatment

December 10th, 2010

Acne is mostly a teenage problem. However, some adults also suffer from this skin condition. Teenage girls and young women find it extremely unsightly to have them on their face and are always in search of the best acne treatment. What they need to know is that there is no common cure for acne.

Since each person’s body is different, the type of acne treatment used for one person may not work for another. It is therefore important to understand the types of acne and treatment before trying out any kind of procedures or products.

The reasons for acne can be many. Typically, teenage acne is caused by the hormonal changes that take place during puberty. Adult acne may be the result of heredity, stress, hormonal problems, diseases, pollutants, cosmetics, or reactions to some medicines. It is essential to find out what is causing your acne to choose the right kind of treatment method. Based on the stage of acne, the different types of acne and treatment include the following.

Stage 1 acne

In this stage, the lesions that appear are called comedons. These are non-inflammatory acne. Blackheads and whiteheads are stage 1 acne. The typical treatment methods for such acne include creams and face washes that contain benzoyl peroxide.

Stage 2 acne

Mild or inflammatory acne known as papules appears in this stage. These look like raised red spots. Topical antibiotics like clindamycin are used in treating this acne.

Stage 3 acne

Pustules or pimples form this stage of acne. Skin eruptions filled with pus can be painful for the person. Topical as well as oral medicines are given to the affected person to cure this type of acne.

Stage 4 acne

This is severe acne accompanied by a lot of small and painful pustules. A kind of Vitamin A derivative is used in the treatment of severe acne. Medication may be needed for a long period of time. However, pregnant women are not advised to take this medicine.

Acne and treatment are handled in various ways. If the acne is treated at a very early stage, topical medicines are usually enough to prevent and cure the skin eruptions. Benzoyl peroxide, erythromycin, clindamycin, tetracycline, etc. are the commonly prescribed topical antibacterial and antibiotic medicines. Erythromycin and tetracycline are also given as oral antibiotics if topical treatments do not produce the desired results.

Apart from allopathic medicines, acne can be cured with homeopathy, naturopathy, aromatherapy, laser treatment, and different types of alternative treatment methods. Each one has a different approach to the cure and prevention of acne.

There is another type of acne treatment which is very popular. It is the skin peel method which exfoliates the skin on a microscopic level using chemical agents. There is also the photosynthesis method in which strong blue light is used to cure this skin blemish. Laser treatment is effective for curing the scars left by acne.

All types of acne and treatment methods require that the person keeps his or her face and body clean and oil-free. Drinking plenty of water and eating fresh fruits and vegetables can flush the toxic elements out of the skin and control the production of sebum which is the main cause of acne.

Acne Cures

December 8th, 2010

Are there natural acne cures that work or is it a new age myth? Is there a permanent cure for acne or are all acne sufferers sentenced to the Sisyphean battle of tackling the ‘on the surface’ symptoms? Is there an honest, natural and safer alternative to the endless use of over the counters and to the nasty side effects inflicted by conventional drugs, creams and topical acne treatments?

Most dermatologists and other western medicine followers have already answered that controversial question by claiming that acne, among other diseases simply cannot be cured.

There are 2 reasons for that:

1. Most dermatologists don’t even know what the real cause of acne is. It’s amazing but true. They are highly familiar with the symptoms of acne and they specialize in tackling the ‘on the surface’ symptoms, but unfortunately they cannot tell you what the internal conditions are that cause your acne to form in the first place. If you don’t believe me just ask your dermatologist.

2. Most doctors work in conjunction with the pharmaceutical and drug companies and the latter is not motivated, so to speak, at discovering a cure for Acne or Aids or Cancer – simply because hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on finding treatments for the symptoms of diseases. Why? simply because their global aim is to make more profit by creating consumer dependency.

By applying medications and creams that deal merely with the symptoms while ignoring the source or the internal cause of the disease, acne will never be cured. The average acne sufferer will become more and more reliant on drugs that temporarily calm the symptoms and that means steady income for the drug and pharmaceutical companies.

There’s a lovely metaphor describing acne among other chronic diseases and the way modern medicine deals with these afflictions: If you manage to kill all the mosquitoes around a stale pond using chemicals, for a little while there will be no mosquitoes.

But since the source of the problem (what causes the mosquitoes to appear) is still there – the stale, disgusting pond where mosquitoes can find food and fertile ground for laying their eggs – mosquitoes will always come back!

The same thing happens with your acne!

Without eliminating the source of your acne condition, you will never get rid of your acne. Without fixing the internal problem that is causing your acne, you may find temporary relief, but your acne will always come back until you do something fundamental to eradicate the cause from within…until you make the pond (your body or internal system) a place where ‘mosquitoes’ cannot exist.

Ultimately, every disease results from a breakdown within your body. All major diseases and chronic conditions are warning signs of something very fundamentally wrong inside. Deepak Chopra refers to this as “The violation of simple laws of nature that make our body function.”

The very surprising truth is that you are lucky for having acne. Let me explain…Acne, like constant headaches, irritable bowel syndrome or dandruffs is only a small message from your body that something is wrong internally and should be addressed and corrected.

Now, there are two choices you can make – you can:

1.Ignore that message – big mistake! The internal imbalance that caused your acne will, in most cases, turn into a chronic condition. Now instead of just having acne you’ll start having other hormonal imbalance or toxic overload related symptoms in addition to acne. Because the internal problem is not fixed, the disease symptoms get more and more intense.

2.Listen to your body and start fixing the internal problem that causes your acne to appear in the first place; you will not only get rid of your acne you will also achieve beautiful, healthy, even toned clear skin complexion, re-balance your body and prevent future hormonal or toxic overload related conditions.

The simple truth is…you are out of balance. We now live a ‘far-from-natural’ lifestyle. There are over 300 synthetic industrial chemicals present in our bodies that did not exist 50 years ago. We are filled with toxins from the food, and medication we ingest and use.

By fixing the internal condition that causes your acne in addition to adopting a healthy lifestyle (healthy diet & mindset, cleanse & detoxify, hormonal balancing etc.) you will put your body back into balance – holistically – your acne will cease to exist and you feel as healthy and attractive as ever!

It doesn’t matter what type of acne you have. Whether you suffer from: acne vulgaris, acne Conglobata, acne Rosacea, Acne Fulminans, Blackheads, Whiteheads, Papules, Pustules, Nodules or Cysts: The principles required to cure your acne are basically the same. The “holistic” ways of treating people have been around for thousands of years, and they absolutely work whether you have teen or adult acne; whether you suffer from acne on your back, shoulders or chest or if you suffer from female related acne such as menopause acne or acne due to monthly cycles.

Whatever your acne condition is, when you finally decide to stop making the same acne treatment mistakes that have been holding you back and begin applying the holistic approach to curing acne, you can literally choose to become clear and stay clear. You will have the power to make it happen.

October 26th, 2010

Acne No More

Pregnancy and acne have a close relationship with one another. Of course, you have a thought that once you finished schooling, acne problems won’t come again. However, in pregnancy, it is unavoidable. There are also women who have them not just on their face but on their body as well.

Commonly, pregnant women expect acne during the first trimester. But the good thing is that slowly, the acne disappears as the levels of estrogen in the body increases. Then after some days, they will all disappear.

Bear in mind that it is normal to have acne during pregnancy, so there is nothing to worry about. But it is advisable to visit a GP to discuss the condition and you may also apply a special facial wash intended for acne problem during pregnancy.

Know what causes acne:

One of the common reasons is that there is increase of hormones. Oil production increases in your pores as the levels of hormones rise. This will make your skin very oily and naturally, pimples then pop up.

What should you do when dealing with pregnancy and acne? Using an oil free moisturizer is effective instead of applying one that has oil ingredient.
Plenty of water intake makes your skin well hydrated and refrain from touching your face.

When using an over-the-counter preparation, make sure you take a product with glycolic acid as it is a safe for use during pregnancy and acne treatment. While products with salicylic acid preparations are not very safe to use during pregnancy.

When a pimple appears, do not prick it. This will worsen the situation.
Take note of your GP’s advice in choosing which oral treatment for acne is best for you as it must be suitable for pregnancy periods.

When wearing make up, opt for a water-based make-up. Make sure you select an item that does not clog your pores, opening more to acne production. It must be a product that put off breakouts. See the label and find out if it is noncomedogenic.

As you wash your face, use mild soap to avoid rashes. Never try pressing any pimples or even blackheads as it could turn to permanent scars.

Always maintain cleanliness of the hair and it must be away from your face. Remember that during pregnancy, hair product residues can intensify acne problems.

Remember that as you are in this period of pregnancy and acne that the problem is caused by an increase in hormonal changes within your body but as your hormone level decrease, you will soon see the acne will gradually disappear. Hence, be patient.

Back Acne

October 5th, 2010

A Holistic Approach to Dealing With Back Acne

No More Acne

Back acne chooses no gender and occurs at any age group. The condition may start during the puberty stage and continue until the age of 40. Like with other kinds of acne conditions, back acne can be a source of embarrassment for some which can affect his or her social interaction with other people. Some of the reasons for back acne are:

Unfortunately for some people, their sebaceous glands overproduce sebum which causes acne because it can clog the pores and hair follicles with dead skin cells and oil. When this happens, a bacterial infection occurs which can lead to the inflammation of skin and formation of acne.

Women suffer more from back acne since their hormones tend to act up more often. Hormonal change due to pregnancy and menstruation can promote acne formation.

There are also hereditary factors which contribute to back acne. If acne runs in the family, chances are, you too will suffer from the same condition.
Certain food allergies can also cause acne

Other factors include too much stress and use of cosmetics that can be harsh or mismatched to your skin type.

The treatment of back acne should be done while keeping the possible causes in mind. Back acne or more commonly known as ‘bacne’ usually appears on the skin as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pimples and sometimes, even as cystic acne. Below are simple remedies for controlling the formation of acne and treatment of lesions.

Maintain Hygiene. As much as possible, shower at least twice a day. If you have an anti bacterial soap available or have a neem based soap around, use it to clean year body.

Avoid roughly scrubbing your back and instead, wash it gently so that acne breakout will not happen. You can also avoid back acne by keeping your back free from sweat by washing and drying it after doing whatever physical activity.

Choose cosmetics carefully. Use lotion or a moisturizer after every bath so that your skin will be nourished of the nutrients it has lost throughout the day. However, remember to use a water based moisturizer instead of oil based since the latter can clog your pores which can lead to acne breakout.

Natural oils such as tea tree oil, lavender or jojoba oil can be used since they limit the production of sebum by the sebaceous glands.

Sleeping Posture. As much as possible, do not rub your back against your bed when sleeping. I know this can be hard since it’s hard to control your body movements when asleep. Try sleeping on your side instead and if you are more used and find it more comfortable to sleep on your back, you will soon get used to it with practice.

Eat healthy. You are what you eat. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be included in your diet and as much as possible, avoid fatty and fried foods, along with refined sugar. Bad vices like drinking alcohol and smoking should also be avoided.

These initial steps will help to start you on the road to a healthier skin condition. However if you are suffering from repeated bouts with acne, you can rest assured that you can reverse and eventually eliminate these symptoms and afflictions from your life by following a safe and simple step-by-step holistic system.

No More Acne The Natural Way

October 3rd, 2010

No More Acne

Having a blemish-free and clear skin is one thing that every individual aims for. It contributes a lot to one’s physical beauty, and more importantly, to one’s self confidence and self esteem. Beautiful and clear skin refers to skin that is well-moisturized, free from age spots, blemishes and other signs of premature aging and has no more acne.

For most individuals, acne problems are one of their major concerns and it hinders them from having clear skin. Some of the most common causes of acne are; hormonal problems such as hormonal imbalance, changes in the body during the adolescence, poor diet and nutrition, stress, exposure to chemicals and various toxic materials, unhealthy lifestyle and lack of sleep among many others.

Other reasons as to why people develop pimples and acne are unknown. People who seem to have a perfectly healthy lifestyle with adequate exercise and nutritional supplement may still have acne problems; and even those who pay enough attention in keeping their skin protected from dirt, oil and toxins can likewise develop acne for unknown reasons.

There are many ways to treat and control acne. Here are some basic pointers;

Consult a doctor or dermatologist and have your skin condition assessed. If it is due to hormonal problems, you will most likely be prescribed with the right medications to control your acne. If it is secondary to other factors like stress, poor nutrition, over-active sebaceous glands or unwanted reaction from a certain chemical or toxin, you can be assured that you will have the appropriate treatment for it.

2. Keep your skin oil-free and dirt-free at all times. Wash your face with lukewarm water using hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic products regularly.

3. Use sun block prior to sun exposure and as much as possible, avoid staying under the sun for a prolonged period of time.

4. Drink 8-10 glasses of water everyday. The cause of your acne problems may be from accumulated toxins in your system. Drinking lots of water can significantly help in flushing these harmful toxins from your body and can contribute to having clear skin.

5. Do not put a lot of products on your face and avoid heavy make up. This can clog your pores and cause skin break outs.

6. Have enough hours of sleep and rest. 6-8 hours of sleep is recommended to keep your skin rejuvenated.

7. To avoid acne scars, do not prick or pinch your pimples and acne. This can cause skin lesions like keloids, atrophic scars and depressed fibrotic scars, which are all very hard to treat.

8. Change your pillowcases, bed linens and towels as often as possible because these are materials that can easily attract dirt, dust and other impurities and they often get in contact with your skin.

Acne can indeed be very hard to treat and manage. This is why it is very important that you do every thing you can to clear up any current problems that you may have with acne. You also want to make sure that you learn what you can do to ensure that from this point forward, you have no more acne.

Holistic Acne Treatment For Curing Cystic Acne

October 1st, 2010

No More Acne

Nodulocystic acne or more commonly known as Cystic acne is one of the most severe type of acne vulgaris. It usually forms as painful cysts on the acne affected areas of your face. The pus-filled acne can be painful and discomforting when no immediate treatment is done and although it can affect all people because it chooses no particular age group, teenagers and adolescents are the ones who suffer the most from cystic acne.

A bacterial infection causes the acne to be filled with pus and since the toxins have the possibility of spreading to other parts of your body, treatments should be done as soon as possible. However, before knowing the effective treatment for this, below is a summary of possible causes for such a condition.

Since cystic acne is only a type of acne that is much more severe, the possible causes and symptoms of such a condition are almost the same as that of different forms of acne. One of the major reasons why it grows on the face is because of the presence of bacteria that causes acne on the skin. Another reason why people suffer from painful cystic acne is because of the large amount of dead skin cells along with large pores and oil glands that are too active in secreting oily substance on our faces.

Whenever the barrier surrounding your hair follicle ruptures, any bacteria that are present on your skin will enter the dermis and thus, promote the formation of pus on any affected area. Other risk factors that contribute to cystic acne are unhealthy habits such as excessive drinking of alcohol, too much intake of processed and fatty foods and of course, unhygienic habits.

Natural cure

Cystic acne can be cured completely as long as diagnosis and treatment are done early. If no immediate treatment is done, the condition will only get worse and even though you continue to undergo treatment, no positive results may be achieved. Medical help is usually needed when treating this because home remedies are not really that effective. A doctor or dermatologist will give you medications such as oral antibiotics or even isotretinoin. Surgery can also be the last resort if the condition of cystic acne worsens.

Intralesional corticosteroid injections are also another form of treatment. This is done by injecting the medication directly to the acne lesions on your skin. The truth is, a specific treatment for conditions such as cystic acne does not exist and the treatment can vary from patient to patient. Other than the available medical treatments the doctor can give you, there are also preventive home medical treatments that you can do control your acne and to act as catalysts in the healing of present acne lesions.

One of the herbal treatments that are easy to grow and obtain is the aloe vera. Aloe vera is one of the most versatile plants and can be used in treating various skin ailments. The gel that you can extract from its leaves can be directly applied on the affected area and the good news is, there are no side effects in such a treatment.

The Acne No More program is an original high quality product and one of the most comprehensive holistic acne solutions on the net. offering 24 hour personal counseling and support to guide our clients through the program until you reach your goal (acne-free skin).
