It's hard to believe, but acne sufferers just like you have done it! Take a moment to visit our site, http://www.AcneTruths.com/GetRidofAcne were you'll discover a natural way to get rid of acne in as little as three days.
Is there anyone you know who hasn't suffered from an acne outbreak? Each of us has at one time or another experienced the embarrassment and the pain of having zits or pimples.
One of the things we turn to for relief are the medications available over the counter. If we still have acne after trying these remedies, then we may have to see a doctor who will prescribe stronger medications.
Many of these medications will help you control your acne. But while they may relieve the symptoms of acne, they also have side effects which may be just as uncomfortable as the acne they try to get rid of.
Benzoyl peroxide is a common ingredient in many over the count acne products. It will cause your skin to dry and peel. Redness and irritation can also occur. However, your skin will adjust after several applications over time.
Retin-A or Tretinoin, a prescription only acne medication, may cause the skin to become red, swollen or crusted. Some people have also experience changes in the color of their skin. These problems should go away with continued use or when treatment is discontinued.
Retin-A may cause the skin to be sensitive to natural or artificial sunlight. Therefore, while using Retin-A, doctors recommend a sunscreen to protect the skin from ultraviolet rays.
Doctors may prescribe antibiotics such as Tetracycline to fight acne-causing bacteria. Tetracycline may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dizziness and headache in some people. In addition, the acne bacteria may develop a resistance to antibiotics, and when this happens, Tetracycline may no longer be as effective.
Accutane or Isotretinoin is for severe cases of acne and is only available by prescription. It probably has the worst side effects of all the acne-controlling medications. Pregnant women on Accutane have delivered babies with birth defects. Some newborns have even died.
Accutane can also change your moods. You can become depressed and suicidal. Some people become aggressive and violent. There have been users who see or hear things that are not there.
Knowing the potential side effects of the acne medications you will be taking is for your own good. Discuss all your concerns with a healthcare professional and avoid the distress that comes with an unexpected surprise.
