Acne peel and birth control pills to clear acne

It is highly recommended that people with cystic acne should visit a dermatologist. If the patient is suffering from light to moderate cystic acne then he/she can take antibiotics which have the tendency to kill the bacterium but approximately 30%-45% of today's cystic acne strains are resistant to one or more of the common antibiotics, making them useless. Additionally long-term use of antibiotics is associated with increased cancer risks. Many dermatologists these days give oral drugs such as Accutane and sulfa-based antibiotics for cystic acne. Oral antibiotics such as tetracycline and minocycline are also more effective for cystic acne because they work systemically.
(Note: Acne need not affect only the face. It can appear on other parts of the body like the neck, shoulder, chest etc...
In China acne is believed to be caused by heat and certain toxins building in the blood stream. Certain foods can raise body temperatures as well as certain toxin levels. It is viewed as a digestive problem where toxins are discharged into the skin instead of their normal destination. Sometimes a diet change is all you need. Low fat with proper vitamins and minerals with possible fiber increase if your acne is digestion related. Substances like Spicy Foods, Garlic, Coffee and Soup cause heat to build up in the body and they should not be used in excess. Saturated fat damages tissue in the body and can cause inflammation that can make pimples appear bigger. Foods rich in Omega 3 Fatty acids are a great tip for getting rid of acne naturally. Greasy foods don't necessarily cause acne but one thing's for sure they don't help prevent it.
