Acne Treatments Abound

Acne Treatment Resource - Laser, Scar, and Best Natural Acne Treatments for Teenagers and Adults:
"Many acne sufferers think they have no recourse but to wait it out and pray that theirs is not a severe case. Today, an overwhelming variety of preventions and treatments exist to combat every kind of acne, from the humblest of whiteheads to the most vicious cystic inflammations. From kitchen to pharmacy to natural food store to dermatologist's office, there are dozens and dozens of treatment routes you can take, depending on your case of acne.

Over-the-counter topical treatments are your first line of defense against acne outbreaks. Benzoyl peroxide is the most popular chemical for this type of treatment, coming in such commonly known brands as Clearasil, Oxy, and Neutrogena. It is important to treat acne early on, as all treatments are actually preventions against later outbreaks. For more severe cases, there are oral and topical prescription medications, as well as traditional or laser surgery."

MY REACTION:

Yeppers -- there are lots of options. Try 'em 'til you fry 'em! Start with basic skin care as a preventive, go to the OTC topicals for mild outbreaks, try meds from a dermatologist if it persists. Undergo laser surgery or equivalent as a last resort. Options are good.
