Best Acne Medication

By: Jason Uvios

People suffering from the common but awkward problem of acne often quite desperately look out for ways of overcoming the condition soon. However, one can offer little consolation to those among the 91% population suffering from acne and the after effects of acne who wish to get instant cures to the problem. It is not possible to attend to this inflammatory condition in a quick manner and eliminate the disease immediately. The best course of acne medication consists of external as well as internal medication and treatment aiming at addressing the root cause of the problem.

While going about with obtaining the best acne medication it is necessary to carry out a diagnosis of the cause of the disease first. Acne is usually considered to be the effect of secretion of the sebaceous glands having its root cause in hormonal imbalance. There are a number of things which aggravate the disease too.

Hormonal imbalances creating acne need to be corrected. Hence, balance-restoring steps involving suitable exercises and relaxation techniques-Yoga, deep breathing and the like are to be adopted. A dehydrated skin can be a breeding ground for acne and for its aggravation. Hence, the skin should always be kept moisturized using a non-oily, light (mild) moisturizer. Herbal alternatives and natural products- fruit extracts etc. are usually very good for the purpose. A regimen of cleansing, toning and moisturizing provides total skin care for acned or acne prone skin alongside periodic skin exfoliation. By exfoliation the skin is ridden of dead cells blocking pores and worsening the acne.

Caffeine (a constituent of coffee) being known for its tendency to stimulate hormone production- the consumption of coffee should be avoided lest acne situation gets further worsened. Foods like meat, dairy products, refined and cooked carbohydrates and fats which produce acidity in the body system need to be replaced by more alkali producing alternatives like fresh vegetables, fruits and some nuts. Alongside are to be restrained the consumption of sugary substances. Yeast consumption in food is to be a strict no-no.

These measures suggested pertain to the natural medication for acne- effected externally as well as internally. Medical practitioners, however, prescribe the use of antibiotics for controlling the severity of the disease and bringing it into check. Now antibiotics too have their own drawbacks. They tend to get rid of useful bacteria (helping out in digestion and other internal processes) too alongside eliminating the harmful bacteria responsible for causing diseases like acne. As a safeguard, the administration of antibiotics is to be accompanied by use of probiotics that will encourage the formation of the helpful bacteria.
