Question 1

i am 24 yr guy and from past 2 yrs i am acne on my back n bottom ...can you suggest me any homemade remedy or any medicine to cure it ...

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: Forget homemade remedies. Acne on the trunk usually requires a systemic rx that you can get only from your physician. You'll want him/her to double-check that this is indeed what you have. You may end up on tetracycline 500 2x/day; this is likely to help; there are topical solutions that may help, such as benzoyl peroxide over the counter.

Question 2

is there a medicine for acne?

Accepted Answer

Acne medicine: Consult with a dermatologist for your specific needs, but options include soap and water, topical retinoids (for example, retin-a), topical (or oral) antibiotics and drying agents such as benzoyl peroxide.

Question 3

what is the best homemade acne facemask?

Accepted Answer

Forget this stuff: Even the salicylate-based stuff you read about on the internet won't work as well a good old topical benzoyl peroxide. If the latter hasn't cleared you in two weeks, get with your physician for prescription-strength rx.

Question 4

how could i combine these acne medicines?

Accepted Answer

As tolerated: You can combine benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and retinoic acid derivatives as you can tolerate. If this isn't clearing you in two weeks, get with your personal physicain. Acne is a non-lifestyle-related, serious chronic illness that needs to be managed scientifically until it remits on its own. Best wishes.

Question 5

how to remove acne with homemade remedies?

Accepted Answer

Forgive my frankness: Acne is a chronic, serious, non-lifestyle-related disease that can (and must) always be managed by a evidence-based medicine. Home / folk / pop remedies are at best supplements. If benzoyl peroxide has failed, a physician's care will be required. If you are responsible for a young person's physical / emotional health, you have a duty to get them seen for acne now.

Question 6

what are some drug free alternatives to reducing acne?

Accepted Answer

Comprehensive Rx: Tea tree oil may be helpful. There are some uncomfirmed studies with colored lights acting on the bacterias' porphyrins. Benzoyl peroxide might be acceptable to someone seeking a "non-drug" rx. Acne is a chronic disease that can have serious personal consequences; supplement as you will, your physician can help also fairly safely if you'll allow yourself the benefits of all of 21st century science.

Question 7

is there any homemade remedies that can help control acne?

Accepted Answer

Home Remedies/Acne: 1. Are you aware that your own toothpaste can be a major help in reducing the swelling of your pimples? Just apply it to the affected part before you sleep and in the morning you will see the instant effect.

2. Next, try to mix lemon juice in rose water. One lemon with same quantity of rose water will do. Then, apply it on the face and rinse after 30 minutes.

Question 9

how was acne treated back in the days of no modern medicine?

Accepted Answer

Sulfur Packs: In the historic archives at the mayo clinic, prior to systemic medications (accutane, antibiotics) or lasers, patients received special compounded topical medications and hot packs that contained precipitated sulfur and salicylic acid.

Question 10

yes acne any special ointment or medicine that might be helpful?

Accepted Answer

Several drug options: For treatment of acne, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel or cream is helpful. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel or cream. If more help is needed, prescription retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin (adapalene) gel can be used instead of benzoyl peroxide. Oral contraceptives (for older girls) and oral antibiotics are options also.
