Question 1

how do i use goldenseal for my acnes?

Accepted Answer

Not proven: Goldenseal is a herb found from the northeast to Arkansas. It contains  berberine which has been used in several medical conditions without proof.  Most of the constituents  in Goldenseal are poorly absorbed and amounts off berberine are variable. There are much better treatments for acne available so check with a dermatologist

Question 2

i want to ask about the problem of acnes?

Accepted Answer

Acne Vulgaris: A very common condition that affects at least 80% of the population , at some point. Treatment can be topical or oral (if more severe) by a Dermatologist.

Question 3

how to make my acnes disappear more faster?

Accepted Answer

Meds: Many patients do well with over the counter benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid preparations. Some patients require topical or oral antibiotics or retinoids as well. If the over the counter meds alone don't control your acne after a month of daily use, see a doctor for additional treatment options. It is important to be persistent, and some patients 'get worse before they get better'.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Acne: Your doctor may be able to help you with prescribing a antibiotic/acne medicated body wash as well as retin-a. This will help address the 3 ways that lead to acne - oil production, clogged pores, and bacteria. You may also try to wear lose fitting clothing particularly during activities with high perspiration.

Question 5

how to treat acnes?

Accepted Answer

Some options...: For treatment of acne, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel/cream is quite helpful. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel/cream such as Cleocin (clindamycin phosphate) gel. If more help is needed, prescription retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin gel can be used instead of benzoyl peroxide. Oral antibiotics such as tetracycline can be used also. If acne is quite severe, a dermatologist might use oral Accutane.

Question 6

is zinc can subside acnes?
if yes, how much dose i have to take?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: There have been small studies in regards to both topical and oral preparations of zinc for acne.  From a supplemental perspective the oral ranges have been quite variable - from 40-300 milligrams of zinc sulfate two or three times daily for 4-12 weeks.  I would review taking doses higher than 50 mg per day with your physician.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: Acne presents in several forms and can be multifactorial. Each requires its own individualized treatment regimen.  I would recommend a consultation with a board certified dermatologist for the appropriate therapy.
