ACNE CURES & REMEDIES

The downside of severe acne encounters is that it disfigures the looks of sufferers which affectively makes people loose the joy of fraternizing with people publicly. Acne to the best of my knowledge and experience can be treated no matter how severe it is; though it will require persistent efforts and patience from patients to be able to hit the bull’s eye.

The treatment of severe cases of acne is the exclusive preserve of an experienced dermatologist. Below are some of the best prescriptions provided by dermatologist:

ISOTRETINOIN

The best treatment available for severe cases of acne is Isotretinoin. It is a powerful drug reserved for treating severe cystic acne and acne that has proven itself resistant to other medications. Isotretinoin is a synthetic retinoid (form of vitamin A) we have the pill form. The best recommended dosage for patients is it is to be taken once or twice a day for 16 to 20 weeks. For most patients one course of isotretinoin will be just enough

Isotretinoin is the only acne treatment prescription that has proven very effective on all four components that makes susceptible a patient to acne in the areas of excess oil production, inflammation and clogged skin rivets.

Because of reported complications or side effects of isotretinoin treatment; the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that pregnant women should take a pre-test to ascertain their response. FDA regulations require women of childbearing age to take 2 pregnancy tests prior to beginning isotretinoin therapy and use 2 forms of birth control for 1 month before therapy begins.


SURGICAL EXCISION COUPLED WITH DRAINAGE

Approximately large stubborn cysts sometimes do not react to medication and may require that a dermatologist carry out drainage and extraction on a patient. Acne surgery which is another name for drainage and extraction should be handled by the expert; patients should not indulge in self-medication. Drainage and extraction has proven to be a reliable strategy of treating severe acne.


INTERLESIONAL CORTICOSTEROID INJECTION

There are reported cases of severe inflamed cyst that requires interlesional corticosteroid injection otherwise can result in rupture which can further result to pocking. A dermatologist can administer an injection on the inflamed cyst with a diluted corticosteroid; this minifies the inflammation and enhances rapid recovery.
