Acne is a part of growing up for almost every individual. Everyone faces some kind of acne in his/her lifetime at least once. Sometimes acne can become a nightmare of the teenager’s life. Some cases of acne can be treated with a simple face wash or over the counter medicines but in some cases a dermatologists help is badly needed. Before you opt for any kind of acne treatment you should be properly equipped with all the basic information regarding the treatment and its effects. There are two types of acne treatment

• Topical treatment

• Oral treatment

Depending on the acne condition a dermatologist can suggest any one of above mentioned methods or both. Following points should be kept in mind during the acne treatment.

Purpose of Acne Treatment:

Before starting the acne treatment you should understand what kind of acne you have and what its intensity is. The main purpose of acne treatment should be to stop it from spreading and reappearing and to avoid any possible scars.

Things to remember:

• You should always keep in mind that you can control and cover you pimples to avoid any possible embarrassment (for teenagers especially).

• There are certain treatments available for avoiding acne scars.

• Acne responds very well to early treatment. You should consult a dermatologist as soon as pimples start to appear on your skin.

• Acne cannot be cured over night. Acne treatment takes long time to show results. Acne may flare up at the start of treatment however it will start to decrease within a few days.

Selection of suitable acne treatment

You can select the best type of acne treatment for yourself by keeping in mind your skin type and acne severity. If you are suffering from mild acne then you can use an acne wash or some OTC medicine. If you are suffering from severe acne then you should not opt for any medicine by yourself rather you should consult a dermatologist for proper acne treatment. You should keep in mind the possible side effects of your treatment. Before starting any acne treatment you should keep in mind your previous reaction to different medicines, if any. Type of the skin plays a very important role in acne treatment. Most of the time acne treatments are prescribed according to the skin type.

You’ve tried a number of over-the-counter acne products and they’ve had minimal affects at best.

You believe that you should consult a physician to see if there is a stronger prescription acne treatment that may help clear your acne.

Before heading off to your doctor, please review the below acne medications that may be offered. After you do that, review the products we recommend on this site, and determine if visiting a doctor is the right move.

Please note: We are not doctors, so this is for informational purposes only and also a combination of acne treatments (both prescription and non-prescription) may be your best course of action.

Plus, it is always a good idea to consult a professional before beginning any acne treatment program.

Here is a list of the prescription acne treatment and medications that may work for you…

Differin or Adapalene: A topical medication that is utilized to help your skin renew itself. Aside from insurance flipping the bill, Differin is quite affordable and does a good job.

It worked mildly for me. I ended up using it more for a spot treatment than rubbing it all over my face and it was very difficult using it on my back. It may make your skin dry and tends to be a longer-term treatment. Just depends on your skin type and acne severity.

Benzoyl Peroxide: This is the ingredient you may find in many over-the-counter products as well. The combination of this product with others is what tends to make it work. It works to fight the bacteria that may cause your breakouts. Can dry your skin out, but does work. Also, a very affordable acne treatment.

Many young ladies get on birth-control pills which seem to not only prevent pregnancy, but also acne. However, after review, using birth control pills as a prescription acne treatment shouldn’t be the main focus of these drugs.

Accutane or Isoretinoin: A powerful prescription acne treatment, Accutane is typically only administered in severe cases and typically as a last resort. It treats your acne from the inside out and is taken in pill form. It works quite well, but not for everyone and brings with it some rather nasty side-effects in some cases. Personally, I used it and it worked wonders, but it is not for everyone and is very expensive.

Retin-A or Tretinoin: A vitamin-A derivative, this is another great prescription acne treatment that battles whiteheads and blackheads by producing new skin cells. This treatment brings the pimples out, so be aware that your acne may get worse before it gets better. Can be drying, create very sensitive skin, and only tends to work in mild to moderate cases of acne. Very popular treatment by Dermatologists and worked wonders for many acne sufferers I know.

This is just a start to prescription acne treatment medications. There are other oral and topical antibiotics that your specialist may recommend. You may also want to ask them about good soaps, nutrition, and other over-the-counter treatments to combine with any prescription (plus if it’s safe).

Do your own homework and ask many of the other acne sufferers (including me) specific questions. We’re here to help ensure you don’t live with acne any longer than necessary.

Acne is major problem all over the world. Including UK, 80% of population of every country affected by this skin condition once in their life. If it is severe then it could cause depression in sufferers. There are many treatment options available for acne. Over the counter products, prescription medications and other skin therapies are designed to cure this problem. Every treatment does not work for everyone. Some people get rid of it by using over the counter products, some got their acne cured by taking prescription medicines and some could not get cured their acne even they try each and every treatment.

Acne is a hormonal problem and needs a proper treatment. If it is left untreated then it can get worse and becomes more depressing. Try all those treatments that treat real cause of acne. Many treatments are designed to disappear acne spots, they are temporary treatments and when you stop taking these treatments, acne appears again. Acne can not be cured completely until or unless you target a main cause behind it.

Dermatologist’s advice is very necessary before starting any treatment. They prescribe you treatments according to the severity of acne and skin type. Much treatment needs continuous monitoring to observe side effects and effectiveness of treatment. Following are some major treatment options which are very affective. 

Over the counter products:

Benzoyl peroxide is very effective treatment for treating acne. It is available as a main ingredient in many over the counter products in different concentrations. Your health advisor can guide you of whom concentration is affective for your skin type and severity. Salicylic acid is another best option to cure acne. Don’t use both products with each other.

Prescription medications:

Dermatologists prescribe you Retinoid for treating acne. These Retiniods try to balance your hormones and reduce redness. Retiniods are available with different brand names. Most affective retinoid for sever acne is Isotretinion (Accutane). But like every synthetic medicines, these medicines have some side effects as well. If these treatments do not work then dermatologist prescribe contraceptives, they regulate hormones in a body which cause acne. 

Other options of acne treatment:

Other surgical and non surgical treatment options are dermabrasion, micro dermabrasion, laser treatment and skin peeling. These treatments are bit expensive and needs more then one sitting. Their effectiveness depends on skin condition and severity of acne.

All these treatment options are easily available in UK. Every hospital have dermatologist who have all facilities to cure acne.
