Can I clear up hormonal acne WITHOUT birth control pills?
I am wondering if anyone else has had any luck clearing up their hormonal acne without the use of birth control. Is there any kind of antibiotic I can take? The pill helped my acne but caused my hair to fall out and I had headaches alot. Is there any kind of antibiotic I can take? Or natural remedies for hormonal acne? I am looking for any other option but the pill....

- take about four aspirin and dissolve them in a few drops of water.. add in a squirt of honey and make it into a paste.. you can also add in a few vitamin e capsules if ya like.. this can be used as a scrub, mask if left on for ten minutes, and a spot treatment left on over night.. it works like pro active.. i've used both and got the same result with each which is clear skin.. pro active dried my skin out, but aspirin didn't.. it's a lot cheaper also.. oh.. and pro active contains benzoil peroxide.. whereas aspirin contains salicylic acid .. another thing i do as an exfoliate is i scrub my face with an electric toothbrush.. it's sounds kinda weird but it works.. it really cleans out your pores and removes dead skin, oil and dirt.. you can use any scrub ya like or the aspirin i mentioned.. i like to use st. ives.. and i do it about three times a week.. only wash your face when you wake up in the morning, before you go to bed, and after exercise.. excess washing makes your face produce extra oil.. warm water opens pores and cold closes them.. so wash with warm and rinse with cold.. and watch the make up you use.. a mineral make up is much better for your skin.. it doesn't clog your pores or cause break outs.. i recommend bare minerals.. drink lots of water.. eat healthy.. and take vitamin e, vitamin c, zinc and b vitamins.. i hope this helps..
- u can try tetracycline or doxycycline but it will be better u ask for the doc to prescribe for u whether which type of antibiotics suit u the most..i tht u shld try going for a acne facial which u may want to take a look at 88db in sp0re ..i thht u nd facai to help to clear ur face and squeeze the pimples and reduce the scar.....
- I have researched a lot on this subject. The best I have come up with is a home remedy from Care2.com. I will send you a link there are a couple great recipes that I have tried that work really well. good luck and please give these home remedies a try. peace GG
