Acne Skin Care

Acne medication worse for acne?

would it be best to let your body get rid of the acne instead of having to rely on a medication? Would your acne just keep getting immune to these medications and keep getting stronger and stronger because you're not letting your body fight it anymore?

1. Have you tried Proactive? Also Clean and Clear works for me. Don't take any medication unless you absolutly have to.
2. Most of those medications are some sort of an anti-biotic, which is really bad to take regularly since, like you said, bacteria can become immune to different treatments. Half the reason people usually get acne is from either something they eat or something they put on their skin like soaps or treatments that strip your skin of it's oil....
3. Since one of the major causes of acne is the increased hormones in puberty, your body will eventually get rid of acne but many miserable years will pass first. If the acne is really bad, you will live the rest of your life with pitted and scarred skin. There is no evidence of becoming immune to the common drugs for acne.
4. Yea,make sure you wash everyday.Don't put anything on your face but a toner.Meds. can be used but I don't like them for acne.
5. Read tips on treating Acne, Skincare and Home Remedies on this site
6. No. that does not happen. Acne does not get resistant to meds. Click- http://www.doctorgoodskin.com/ds/acne/treatments.php
7. I'm not a fan of presciptions drugs, especially when it is my belief that acne can be cured naturally. Check out my website to learn how. http://www.fredstown.com/acne.html
8. I used to have an acute case of acne when I was younger for many years; it covered my face, back, chest and posterior. I eventually healed myself without the use of drugs. I cured myself through DIET. -This is what you should avoid/elminate: fried foods White bread/flour starch combinations during the same meal (e.g. potatoes and pasta) soda/carbonated drinks sugar/corn syrup meat/dairy soft foods (processed foods) hydrogenated oils (in processed foods) -you should increase your intake of: fruits/vegetables, preferably organic (you should have a salad a day, at the least) 8 glasses of water a day whole foods black and/or brown bread (whole grains) nuts -you should have a balance, of 80% alkaline forming foods, to 20% acid forming foods. (mostly fruits and vegetables) ----- Basically, your eliminations are poor/sluggish; thats is why some people can get away with eating badly, but you may not. The reason changing your diet to the foods below will help is because your eating foods that are much easier to digest and elminate than those above. I would check out Edgar Cayce; without his advice I would probably still suffer today. He also said you can help yourself through osteopathic adjustments to your spine, he said this can create imbalances in your nervous system (if it isn't in proper adjustment) which will affect everything else. I haven't done this yet, as it is expensive; but I assume when I do, I will be able to better digest the aforementioned foods. Through DIET ALONE I have been cured for a number of years. Don't believe the people who say it doesn't effect it, I swear to god this will help. It helped me. =) good luck!
