Finding The Right Body Acne Cure For You
by Richard Hargreaves
Body acne can sometimes be very difficult to deal with. It requires extreme patience, determination and perseverance from the one suffering from it. It must not be said, though, that body acne is incurable - because it is!
Body acne cures, however, do not come in one package alone. It usually comes as a combination of several body acne products, treatments and proper skin maintenance. It must also be noted that a body acne solution that works for one many not necessarily work for another because every person has a different skin type and suitable body acne treatment.
There are products and treatments though which have been proven to be effective in lessening and even clearing body acne. Below are some of these products and treatments that have been widely used in treating mild to severe body acne.
Curing Mild to Moderate Body Acne
The main difference between the approach in curing mild body acne and the approach in curing moderate body acne lies in the method and type of products used.
For mild body acne, topical products, which are merely applied on the affected area of the body, are usually adequate in treating the acne. Among the most notable topical products used to cure body acne are benzoyl peroxide, retinoic acid, sulfur, salicylic acid and azelaic acid.
A tested topical product gaining popularity lately is niacinamide (e.g., Acnessential). Topical niacinamide uses Vitamin B3, which zeroes in on sebum production as well as inflammation in body acne patients.
Moderate body acne, on the other hand, usually involves taking in oral prescription on top of applying topical products on the skin. Doctors usually prescribe ibuprofen, isotretinoin, spironalactone, tetracycline and doxycycline.
Treating Severe Body Acne
Severe body acne is the trickiest to cure since no single topical product or oral medicine can make it disappear. A person who has a severe case of body acne should seek the help of a specialized dermatologist, who can diagnose accurately and be able to prescribe the most suitable treatment for the patient's body acne considering his or her overall health condition.
Most dermatologists and other doctors recommend a combination of oral medicines and physical treatments such as exposure of the skin to sunlight, hormone treatment, steroidal injections and skin exfoliation through dermabrasion and similar techniques.
