If you really want to treat acne never rely on creams like benzoyl peroxide or laser treatments. They work only for a short time. The best way to treat acne is to find out what is wrong within you. If you are a lady check for ovarian cyst and take cure for it.And Remember ! Severe Acne is caused by hormones or by any allergy. Acne is caused by the same diet that cause you diabetes. So you have to eliminate or reduce sugar, oil. Eat more proteins. Use natural methods. Do wash your face with plain water from time to time. Face washes ,face creams and moisturisers only aggravate acne. Avoid them. Use natural methods like, I am an Indian, so to wash face I use gram flour, for moisturising I use Aloe vera/honey (ususally not needed since I have oily skin and climate is warm here) and for a little extra shine I use a paste of red sandalwood+turmeric mix before I go to bed. But these natural methods r effective only if u treat from within the body first. Clinmiskin cream is also good to dry up acne a little and for fairness.Remember: If acne is caused by hormones it cannot be cured completely u have to control it. But control is quite easy and this control method is quite a good way for your health also.I am a perfect example of controlling my severe acne by these methods.
I am on accutane for about 10 days now..initially when I started taking I saw that my acnes started clearing but when my blood report came, I saw slightly higher testosterone level and my gyn.suggested yaz tablets. I am on yaz tabs for a week and again breaking out. I dont understand if I am breaking out bcoz of yaz and accutane cant show its effect bcoz of yaz. Guys yaz is also suppose to treat acne then y m I having breakouts when I am on accutane and yaz both. Plz help me to decide if I shld stop.taking yaz or there is no harm continuing it?
hey Devyani..u r a south Indian like me?
hey hormones work slowly..remember? If u r on a tablet prescribed by your gynec ur gynec must have advised u to take it for 6 months right? U should take it for the whole 6 months If u want a sufficient improvement. And I cant guarantee anything about Accutane. I have not used it. So my suggestion is wait for this 6 months..Just think you are treating ur hormone level . Meanwhile avoid or control your sugar and oil intake. Enjoy protein rich food withot sugar and oil.Control your glycemic level. It was similiar for me too Devyani..I started taking Diane 35..I was still breaking out at first. But now after 6 months and subsequent diet control I have a big big improvement. Keep up ur spirits girl ..btw I think Accutane is bad for u like BP but am not sure..
I am indian thankyou for ur suggestions. what I am worried about is that...as soon as I leave my birth control pills..i.may again breakout badly...i am just hoping that these acnes never return on my face again..
and accutane may b able to.suppress my acne breakouts after stopping bc pills
no you wont breakout as soon as you leave birth control pills. I stopped the pills this Jan 2013. I still do get occassional pimples at times. But they r nothing like the severe acne case I had. They r smaller and very much manageable and leaves in 1 or 2 days. Just stick to the diet control. You can also try red sandalwood turmeric paste at night. Be happy dear
