How to manage acne

Tretinoin is a major breakthrough in acne therapy and acts by breaking up the microcomeda (waxy plug forming within the surface of the hair follicle). See article in a derma site I am helping to manage - http://www.derma-ph.com/?p=5

If your acne is persistent or unmanageable, I would definitely go to a dermatologist. I use a combination of beta-hydroxy acids, benzoyl peroxide, tea-tree oil, glycolic acid, and a prescription cream called Tazorac to keep breakouts under control.

I had a bad case of acne a few years back. From what I have been through I can say that it will really take patience as you have to painstakingly apply your medicines night and day. You have to follow a regimen. 1. I go to my dermatologist to have my face cleaned. This includes a facial with extraction of comedones. Comedones are the skin-coloured, small bumps(papules) frequently found on the skin of the people suffering acne. If you really want to eliminate your acne going to a dermatologist regularly is best 2. Follow the medications and the regime the dermatologist give you. If it is not working consult your dermatologist about it. Now that I no longer have acne I maintain my skin by still going to a dermatologist once a month and using Witch Hazel Toner.

putting toothpaste on your acne really works. but don't know about sensitive skin. putting paste of neem leaves and eating neem pills work to get your skin clear. if you have any more queries for skin care you can ask me as i am expert in them

I would schedule a consultation with a dermatologist before you start self-treating your acne. They know best how to treat each individual type of acne and they can help you figure out what may work the best for your skin. Good luck with it.

i use a skin care called murad. i just started using it and it saids that it'll take about four weeks for my skin to clear up. i believe it's gonna be my 3 week and it's going good! hope my skin clears up and to not break out ever again! fight to kill ance!
