Question 1

does hemorrhoid cream truly help acne?

Accepted Answer

Yes, possibly: Hemorrhoid creams usually decrease inflammation and swelling
If the acne is the type that is red with large pimples and swelling around them then it the cream would help with the swelling
It does not kill bacteria on the skin like other combination acne creams and does not dry the skin like benzoyl peroxide

Question 2

is it true that hemorrhoids can cause "butt acne"? cause when i got an external hemorrhoid i also got pimples on my butt...

Accepted Answer

Related : Hemorrhoids occur with stasis of blood.  Prevention is key.  Don't sit on toilet for long periods. Try sitz baths.  Once you have hemorrhoids keep the area very clean and prevent wiping too hard.  If you aren't clean you'll end up with bacteria from feces causing infection on the skin "acne".

Question 3

cream for acne marks?

Accepted Answer

None work: The brown spots after acne fade with time, but only a dermatologist can make scars less visible. If that is what you want (most folks you meet won't care unless scarring is severe), lasers, fillers, and surgery are available. These work and you have a right to something more effective than an ineffective topical.

Question 4

is elomet cream be used for acne?

Accepted Answer

Worthless for acne: This won't help. Your best friend is topical benzoyl peroxide, as strong as you can tolerate up to 2x/day. If this doesn't clear you in two weeks, get with your personal physician.

Question 5

what is noritate cream for acne?

Accepted Answer

Rosacea, not acne: Noritate is primarily prescribed for rosacea. It's a topical form of metronidazole, which is a sort of antibiotic. Some dermatologists use it for acne as well, but I have not found it particularly effective for that.

Question 6

will desoximetasone cream work on acne?

Accepted Answer

No!!!: Topical corticosteroids will suppress the immune response, and enhance the production of sebum.  Systemically, this class of meds actually causes acne.  The only barrier to your being treated effectively is a dysfunctional health care system.  I start with cheap topical clindamycin; systemic tetracycline works for tougher cases; dermatologists must rx "the big guns" which are extremely good.

Question 7

what is the best  otc acne rosacea cream?

Accepted Answer

Sunscreen: The most important otc cream is sunscreen and sun avoidance.  In addition, otc Hydrocortisone may briefly improve rosacea, however, upon discontinuation, there may be a flair of the redness and pimples.  Therefore, avoid steroid preparations.

Question 8

what is the best acne cream for oily skin?

Accepted Answer

Benzoyl peroxide: No need for a pricey or gimmicky product. Choose a strength you can tolerate and apply as you can tolerate / as directed. If this hasn&#x27;t cleared you in two weeks, your personal physician can add something else to this regimen, and keep experimenting until you&#x27;re better. Best wishes.

Question 9

do skin tightening creams reduce acne craters?

Accepted Answer

No: Acne scarring is best treated with skin resurfacing lasers.  These scars are very deep and can not be treated with topical treatments.  Topical creams can help improve the tone but will not decrease the scarring.  Fillers can also be used to help decrease scarring as well as subcision.

Question 10

how long should acne cleanser and cream be used?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Basically a good acne cleanser and cream should be used until you don't need it any more . Well if your skin is clear try not using it and use an oil free gentle cleanser and see if it returns. If it does not then you don't need it any more .  If it comes back, return to your program that you know works for you!
