Question 1

can you use exposed acne treatment if pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Probably safe: Topical acne preparations are, for the most part, safe to use during pregnancy.  Most do not have compounds that absorb into your body in significant enough amounts that would affect your baby.  However some compounds, mostly prescription only such as Retin-A cream, and definitely oral medication such as accutane, have theoretical or real risks and should not be used.

Question 2

what was the most effective acne treatment?

Accepted Answer

Most effective acne : The treatment depends on the severiyi of acne.
Most of the acne can be treated with various combinations containing benzyl peroxide , topical antibiotics, topical retinoids and in some cases oral tetracyclines
resistance cases and nodular, cystic acne  use accutane, but it has too many side effects 
birth defects and others
roche pulled Accutane of the market in 2009 after jury awarded millions of $$.

Question 3

please describe a good acne treatment brand?

Accepted Answer

Benzoyl peroxide: This is your first line of treatment. If you do not have a good result in two weeks, get with your personal physician. It can be managed but not cured. Acne is a serious personal and professional liabilty, and is unrelated to lifestyle or hygiene. Do what you need to.

Question 4

what would be a great fast working acne treatment?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: Two weeks trial of topical benzoyl peroxide alone. This clears most mild acne. If not clear, physician's office visit. Options may include topical retinoic acid derivative, topical clindamycin, the oral contraceptive pill for a woman who can take it, and/or an appropriate systemic antibiotic right for the patient. Tough cases referred for isotretinoin. Manage as a chronic disease. Good luck.

Question 5

whats the best acne treatment in stores that you'd recommend?

Accepted Answer

Benzoyl peroxide is: pretty good.
I guess we won't include taking a lot of vitamin A supplements and sucking all the vitamin A oil out of it and putting it on your face ? This is NOT regulated for safety nor efficacy and you smell like a tuna.

Question 6

what would happen if you stop using the exposed acne treatment?

Accepted Answer

You will save money: You could taper slowly. Look for the ingredients found in the product to determine if it is actually a good product. Avoid parabens, petrolatum, mineral oils etc.

Question 7

is x out a good acne treatment ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is topical benzoyl peroxide, rather more concentrated than you may fnid elsewhere. If you're not clear in two weeks, your physician can try one or more additional medicines. Best wishes.

Question 8

how effective is the  laser acne treatment?

Accepted Answer

It varies: For moderate acne with red bumps and some white heads, it can work very well with repeated treatments....Ie it is not a cure. For cystic acne it does not work as well for everybody, but it helps. For comedonal acne, ie just black heads...Not very effective. Don't expect a cure, but lasers can help a lot. Combined with a chemical called ala, aka photodynamic therapy, it works even better.

Question 9
