Introduction
Acne treatment can be a valuable weapon in your arsenal against acne. If you’re looking at the various forms of acne treatment, here are some of the benefits to consider:
1:An acne treatment that is taken by mouth may work on multiple areas of the body, such as the face, neck and chest.
- Oral medication:
Oral medications are taken by mouth, and may work on multiple areas of your body. For example, a drug that is taken by mouth might help with acne on your face, neck and chest. Some oral medications can be taken in pill form while others are liquids that you drink. This type of treatment can take up to 6 months before it produces results.
2:Many topical acne treatments can make skin extremely dry, tight and flaky.
If you use a topical treatment, the skin can become dry, tight and flaky. This can make the skin red and irritated. It can also cause itching or peeling of the skin.
If this happens to you, talk with your doctor about other treatments that don’t have these side effects.
3:Topical acne medication can be patchy in application, leaving some areas of your skin clear while others remain broken out.
Topical acne medication can be patchy in application, leaving some areas of your skin clear while others remain broken out. You may want to look for a product that is easy to apply or use, such as gels and lotions.
4:Topical acne treatments often cause painful stinging or burning when applied.
It’s also important to know that topical acne treatments can cause stinging, burning or pain. This is a common side effect of topical acne treatment and can be managed by applying the product less frequently and avoiding any other skin care products you may have used in conjunction with your prescription (especially those containing alcohol).
5:You must wait for a topical acne treatment to dry before you can apply makeup and other products to your skin.
You must wait for a topical acne treatment to dry before you can apply makeup and other products to your skin. This is a disadvantage of topical acne treatments because it prolongs how long it takes you to get ready in the morning.
You may have to wait a long time before you can apply makeup after using some types of topical medications, which can be inconvenient if you are running late for work or school. In addition, some products may make your skin too dry for makeup application until several hours later.
6:Acne treatment is often expensive. If you have health insurance, find out what your plan covers for prescription medications and explore other payment options if you think the medication, or the copayment, might be an issue for you.
While most acne treatment is safe and effective, it can also be expensive. If you have health insurance, find out what your plan covers for prescription medications and explore other payment options if you think the medication, or the copayment, might be an issue for you. For example:
- Your plan may cover all or part of your copayment for a generic drug that costs $20 per month but not a brand-name drug that costs $200.
- You may qualify to pay as little as $10 per month by using a discount card or negotiating with your doctor’s office (or both).
Acne Treatment
There are many topical acne treatments that can be used, including:
- Benzoyl peroxide is a common treatment for acne. Benzoyl peroxide is a bleaching agent that helps to reduce the amount of pigment in your skin. The medication works by killing the bacteria on your skin, which reduces inflammation and swelling. It also helps to dry up pimples so they go away faster. Unfortunately, benzoyl peroxide can also cause dryness and irritation of the skin. As with any topical treatment for acne it is important to follow directions carefully for best results
Conclusion
Acne treatment is not a one-size-fits-all solution. A dermatologist can help you choose the best acne treatment for your skin and lifestyle, and guide you through the process of getting rid of breakouts once and for all.
