Not all acne medications are prescribed by doctors. There are many natural acne
medications available without the prescription. The once which prescribed
by doctors are antibiotics, steroids and retinoids. Do we always need to use prescribed
medications? The answer is no, not always.
Most mild to moderate acne or whiteheads, papules and pustules can be treated without
the use of harsh chemicals, antibiotics and steroids. It is always good to consult
with your doctor if you are starting to develop acne, but in most cases of mild acne, people
don't use heavy drugs. There are couple of things we must know before starting accutane or
Retin-a and others.
The retinoids and steroids or chemicals can not be used for long time. They have a lot of side effects
which may in fact destroy your skin's immune system. The effectiveness of steroids for example
is undeniable, they will help. But, the help won't last long. Therefore, there is no reason why, people
with mild or moderate acne need to use them.
The steroids and antibiotics for acne treatment should be used only if you have severe acne: cysts and nodules.
Cysts and nodules usually are very painful under skin bumps which can last for long time and only be treated with
steroid injection or steroid medication prescribed by doctors. Since the steroid injection administered locally,
the side effects of such shots are minimal.
Choosing right acne medication can be very frustrating. But, it is the only way to find which one will work
for you. Natural acne medications would be the safest once since they don't have the side effects and can be used
as long as needed.
