Treating cystic acne and acne medication

When children reach their teen hood, majority of them begin to develop acne. It is been proved scientifically that eight out of ten teens develop acne or pimples when they reach 13. Developing acne is very common which is mainly due to hormonal changes which occur during puberty. It is very easy to take care of acnes; all you need to do is change your diet and give some extra care for your skin. First let's see what acne is and what causes them. Acne is a condition where a tiny bump emerges from the skin. It especially affects the face, neck, upper back, shoulders and sometimes chest. Both boys and girls develop acne when they reach their teens. These tiny bumps can be pimples, whiteheads, blackheads or cysts. You need to understand that acne is not a disease. All acnes gradually disappear when they reach around 21 years.
Facial masks containing apples and honey are believed to treat acne. To apply these, start creating a paste of apple and mix it with honey. The honey must only be 3 to 4 tablespoons. Apply the well mixed solution to the affected areas of your skin gently. For better results, let it stay for about 15 minutes, and if done, rinse your face well, but don't use cold water. Pick warm water, instead.
The antibiotics such as tetracycline, erythromycin, clindarnycin and cotrirpoxazole are most commonly used in the treatment of acne vul¬garis. Tetracycline is the treatment of choice for moderate to severe: acne and is given in the dosage of 250 mg three to four times daily with a gradual reduction to a maintenance dose of 250 mg once a day for several months, Recently, oral retinoid (isotretinoin) has been found to be very effective drug in the management of severe form of acne, especially nodulo cystic acne and conglobata. Anti androgens like cyproterone acetate and spironolactone are also beneficial in treatment of acne. Females with recalcitrant and severe type of acne usually require oestrogens either in the form of oral con¬traceptives or in combination with antiandrogens.
