Those who have severe acne should most
certainly seek the advice of a dermatologist for possible treatment
options. For those who do not have acne, most of the time, you can
prevent it from ever occurring. Anyone looking for acne treatment
skin care needs to simply type in skin care into a
search engine and watch how many millions of results come up! The
market is saturated with skin care lotions, creams, moisturizers, mud
masks, emollients, and cleansers.
Benzoyl peroxide is a
mainstay, with its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, is among the
most widely used topical agents in the treatment of inflammatory acne
vulgaris. Benzoyl peroxide is marketed either alone or in
combination with other topical antibiotics; namely, erythromycin and
clindamycin. The combination products confer specific advantages
over benzoyl peroxide alone, particularly in decreasing the in vivo
follicular counts of Propionibacterium acnes, the anaerobic bacterium
implicated in the pathogenesis of acne. In addition, the topical
treatment of inflammatory acne has been complicated by the development
of P acnes resistance to topical erythromycin and clindamycin.
Combination products containing benzoyl peroxide and the topical
antibiotics have been shown to both: prevent the development of
antibiotic resistance in acne patients; and confer significant clinical
improvement to patients who have already developed antibiotic
resistance.

So, the first thing you
need to determine is how bad your acne really is and whether you should
see a dermatologist. If the acne blemishes have the potential of
leaving lifelong scars or are impacting your other life decisions, it
is probably time to make an appointment. Keep in mind that it can take between 4
and 8 weeks before you notice an improvement in your skin, If an
over-the-counter acne product doesn't seem to help after 2 months, get
advice from your doctor.
