Adult Acne---why???? What medicines work best or should I just go to the dermatologist?

First Q is how old are u and of course male or female and which nationality u have?


-The acne treatment depends on what kind of acne u have...we have many differen treatment for therm...


-First Step is avoid sun shine...u can use some protection cream which has the SPF over than 25%...then if u are a smoker have to decrease the number of them....decrease the fat food u take(oily.fast food.chips...)....drink enough water (more than 2 lits a day)....wash ur face with no bacter soap(at least twice a day)...if u are a girl dont use bad brand of make up stuff and wash ur make up as soon as possible(even if u use removal cream ).....if u start any mild sport like areobic or even jogging it will make ur skin better....take good nutrition and vegetable....


-secound we have some locolize solution ...they are antibactrial like erythromycin 1% and ....u can use them once every 2 nights on ur acnes(avoid 2 cm around ur eyes and 2 cm around ur mouth including ur nasolabial lines)....


-third u can use systemic antibiotics like tetracyclin or doxi by the order of ur G.P or dermatologist....


-if non of them work or u have cystic acne with scar u have to use a drug calls Actane its full of Vit A , it has his own order and u just can have it by a dermatolog ...


-we have some other treatments like Microdermabration(its usefull for black spots),pilling(deep and superficial) for make the acne and the scar of them goes....


its better if u visit a dermatologist.


Good Luck

Acutane
dermotologist, you may just have allegies, i would go to an allergist first!
make sure you wash well, sweat a lot and drink a lot of water and try elidel. I am 39 year old male and i get acne on my back due to stress and allergies. elidel clears it up in about 10 days. The doctor never gave it to me for this. My daughter had a skin problem and her dr gave it to her. she never would use it and her problem got better so i tried it on my problem and it works great. Even if it does not work for you it will probably not hurt you. good luck and have a great life
