Hello Dear. Instead of doing your own treatment better consult a skin specialist and get treated for acne. Since its of cosmetic importance do not do your own treatment. I will tell you some tips to follow for acne
• Wash your face (or other affected skin) gently one or two times a day.
• Do not squeeze pimples, because that often leads to infections, worse acne, and scars.
• Use a moisturizer to keep your skin from drying out. Choose one that says "noncomedogenic" on the label.
• Use over-the-counter medicated creams, soaps, lotions, and gels to treat your acne. Always read the label carefully to make sure you are using the product correctly.
Examples of some over-the-counter products used to treat acne include:
•
Benzoyl peroxide (such as Brevoxyl or Triaz), which unplugs pores.
•
Alpha hydroxy acid, which dries up blemishes and causes the top skin layer to peel. You'll find alpha hydroxy acid in some moisturizers, cleansers, eye creams, and sunscreens.
•
Salicylic acid (such as Propa pH or Stridex), which dries up blemishes and causes the top skin layer to peel.
• Tea tree oil, which kills bacteria. You'll find tea tree oil in some gels, creams, and oils.
In case of severe acne doctors may prescribe some medicines
The most common types of medicines that doctors use to treat acne include:
• Benzoyl peroxide, such as Brevoxyl or Triaz.
• Salicylic acid, such as Propa pH or Stridex.
• Topical and
oral antibiotics, such as clindamycin, doxycycline,
erythromycin, and tetracycline.
• Topical retinoid medicines, such as tretinoin (Retin-A), adapalene (Differin), and tazarotene (Tazorac).
• Azelaic acid, such as Azelex, a topical cream.
• Isotretinoin, an oral retinoid.
• Low-dose birth control pills that contain estrogen (such as Estrostep,
Ortho Tri-Cyclen, or Yaz), which work well on moderate acne in women and for premenstrual flare-ups.
• Androgen blockers, such as
spironolactone. Androgen blockers can be useful in treating acne. These medicines decrease the amount of sebum (oil) made in your pores.
