Head and Shoulders for bacne.
Shampoo head and shoulders had been discussed in many acne blogs and acne forums.
There are so many controversial statements about use of head and shoulders shampoo as
possible way to treat bacne. I personally could understand people with acne, as myself fought
them for quite some time, that any positive feed back from other users
gives hope and confidence.
But, reviewing some of the latest posts from people who used the shampoo for bacne,
i came to undecided dilemma. First of all, i personally have never tried to use the head
and shoulder to fight my bacne so i don't really know how true most of the statements are.
But the temptation to find out, made me pick up and go. I went to the store today, just
out of curiosity, to find out more about head and shoulders.
There i was, reading labels and comparing the ingredients. After a while, i realized
that Head and Shoulders would not be my choice as a shampoo. Why? I don't like and i don't
believe in chemicals. And trust me, the head and shoulders shampoo has plenty of them,
100% chemicals to be precise. Not a single vitamin or mineral. I started wondering, what
can really help (if it ever does) to fight acne as some people say.
The Zinc pyrithione is the only one out of long list of ingredients which may in fact,
have positive effect on acne. The purpose of the Pyrithione Zink does not stop with only
anti-dandruff properties. Apparently, this ingredient also has antibacterial properties
and often used in treatments of psoriasis, eczema, ringworm, fungus, athletes foot, dry skin
and even atypical dermatitis.
So, there is a possibility that head and shoulders shampoo can be positively used as anti-acne
treatment. However, one must not forget that besides the Pyrithione Zink, the shampoo has more
than 20 other ingredients (chemicals, not natural ingredients), which can irritate the skin and worsen your acne. Among those are ammonium
laureth sulfate, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, sodium xelenesulfonat, cetil alcohol and more.

Acne cysts how long do they last.
Severe acne known as nodules and cysts do not appear overnight. It takes time and
"effort" for bacteria to grow to that point. There is no definite time for acne cysts to go
away.
Cysts, same as acne, caused by growing and increasingly multiplying bacteria. If
acne bacteria grows, you must act to stop it from growing. With cysts, when infection is spreding rapidly, agressive treatment is required. Topical anti acne creams, lotions and other ointments may not help to stop the acne bacterias from growing. Most of these products formulated to treat acne vulgaris and not severe acne. Antibotics and corticosteroids are among more agressive ways to treat the cysts. With antibiotics and steroids, one must remember that such products have side effects. If used long time, antibiotics suppress the immune system and may cause other healyh issues.

Cysts - new study on how to prevent and avoid severe acne.
Cysts and nodules are considered severe acne. Even though, there are many known ways and
advices of how to avoid the development of severe acne, in some cases it is impossible
to avoid unavoidable. There are few reasons for blackheads or whiteheads to transform into
severe acne (cysts and nodules).
It seems that in this day and age, everyone who goes through the battle with acne must be
very familiar with everything what the acne brings: acne development, why acne starts, who gets
the acne and why and so on. Usually, people with "experience", who have had acne for a while
are the most knowledgeable.
But, according to a new study, conducted by Swiss dermatologists in several high schools,
many teens who are just developing first signs of acne or once who have had acne for a
while, don't even know the basics, such as the acne daily regiment or how to even properly wash
and clean the acne prone skin and so on.
The conclusion of the study, which was published in one of the Swiss magazines, defines the
definite connection between lock of basic knowledge and the development of severe acne cases
(cysts, nodules). There is no doubts in their mind, concluded the scientists, that many cases
of severe acnee caused by poor or zero knowledge of the basics. The development of many
severe acne cases could be avoided and prevented had there been the basic knowledge.
To follow up on this new study, we would like to ad, that the acne education and the acne
daily regiment are as important as doing the home work. One with acne, must use every possible
resource and bit of information to learn and self educate in order to prevent and avoid
the development of cysts and nodules.
