Acne Antibiotics

Acne is a common skin condition often first appearing in the teenage years. Acne will affects the majority of people at some point in their lives. It causes spots to occur on the face, and other parts of the body, such as the back and chest. Acne spots can vary in size and type. From surface blackheads and whiteheads, which are often mild, non obtrusive, and easily treated, to deep seated, inflamed, pus-filled pustules and cysts. These spots are much more difficult to treat, can sometimes be painful, and can sometimes lead to scarring.

Acne Basics

Hygiene, and keeping your skin clean is important, however spots will still occur, so don’t be disheartened. You should wash the affected areas twice daily (over washing can aggravate your skin) with a mild, oil free, soap or cleanser. Rub gently, as scrubbing too hard, can again irritate the skin and cause flareups. For dry skin, use an oil free moisturiser . They are generally tested, so they won’t cause spots. Look for one that says it is non-comedogenic.
