Acne Treatments: Over the Counter Vs. Prescription StrengthOne Or Two Pimples If you are only experiencing a pimple here or there, or if you are merely getting some redness, then you should go to the grocery store or pharmacy and try one of the over the counter acne treatments. There are many creams, ointments, soaps, pads and more to choose from, so you can pick your promise or your guarantee, but know that most of these products contain the same ingredients. These will generally get rid of most small acne problems. If these acne treatments fail to get rid of your acne, however, or if the problem becomes worse, then it may be time to try something a little more drastic. See Your Dermatologist Your dermatologist should only be seen as a last resort, as many prescription strength acne treatments will affect your kidneys and can lead to long term health problems. They can get rid of severe acne problems, however, and for that reason, they're usually well received by many acne sufferers. Your dermatologist will determine if you are eligible for one of these prescription medications, such as Acutane or Retin-A, which have been proven to clear up many forms of severe acne. In conclusion, all of those creams and ointments you see at the store will work, but only for certain cases. If your acne is less severe, then try one or all of these acne treatments to clear up your acne. If your problems are more severe, however, then it might be time to make an appointment with your dermatologist. The most important thing to remember is that if your acne goes untreated, you could develop scars. This makes clearing up your acne important as you don't want to be reminded that you once had acne for the rest of your life. |
