Prescription Acne Medication – what doctors recommend
stopping acne?
Untitled Document
If you tried over the counter acne medications and none worked
it is time to visit a dermatologist for prescription acne medication.
Depending on the type of acne you got, the doctor can suggest higher
concentration of benzoyl peroxide, topical antibiotics or oral contraceptives
for acne.
Benzoyl peroxide prescription acne medicine
Benzoyl peroxide medications are reliable and proved to work for
most mild cases of acne. This could go on till the scars, acne and
all will very gradually disappear. There are also local applications
that help tremendously – these would need to the applied topically
and are retinol based.
Retinoids as acne medication
If the acne is really bad, then the prescription for acne medication
would include the Retinoids. Retinoids, chemicals that have
vitamin A activity, have become important therapeutic agents for
acne.
DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET RID OF ACNE
There are so many different acne treatments and products, cleansers,
Proactive medication, topical antibiotics – it is difficult
to decide which one would help to clear your skin. You're certainly
not the first to be clueless when it comes to zits and their origins.

Retinoids have a serious disadvantage is that once you use them,
the skin becomes extremely sensitive to the sun (which is indeed
good, as then you will have to take better care about your skin).
For this purpose, you either should stop going out in the sun often
during the treatment and/or apply sunscreen lotions.
Hence, no matter what type of prescription for acne medication
you follow there will be some major advantages and major disadvantage.
The crux of the matter is to find one who is matching your expectations
in results, cost and feasibility. There is no best prescription
for acne medication – as all of the available medications
have serious side effects. However, it will take some time for you
to find the perfect match in terms of prescription for acne medication.
Accutane for acne
Accutane is a very strong effective acne medication. It
is prescribed for severe cystic acne when nothing else has worked.

to be especially careful when taking Accutane because it can cause
birth defects if you become pregnant while taking it.

Antibiotics
Often doctors prescribe antibiotics
for acne. This treatment usually involves a course of antibiotics
which stretches over a period of 4-5 weeks. Many times this treatment
works, but mostly it ends up misbalancing the natural yeast equilibrium
and the person starts developing other problems.
The nature of the medicines and quality of the course very much
depends upon the type of the doctor, how much experience he/she
has in the field and how well he/she understood your problem. The
prescription for acne medication will of course mirror the doctor’s
expertise and capacity to fight against the battle.
Ask your doctor what results you can expect from prescription acne
medication and what side effects it has. Benzoyl peroxide only dries
your skin, otherwise it is harmless. Retinoids and antibiotics can
affect your health, so you should be careful when taking it.
