Question 1

hoping you can tell me, is detox diet effective to get rid or reduce acne?

Accepted Answer

Of course not: No fad diet will have much effect. Generally, you'll do well to avoid anybody who's telling you about "detoxification" or "removing poisons"; if you're scientifically literate you'll recognize these are all hucksters. Why not do yourself a favor and get with your physician; all acne's fairly easy to manage nowadays. Good luck.

Question 2

tell me if detoxing your liver prevent acne outbreaks?

Accepted Answer

No: There's no evidence that it can. In fact, there's very little evidence that it's possible to "detoxify" your liver.

Question 3

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 4

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 5

how i can cure my acnes face?

Accepted Answer

Quite a few 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

please tell me how to treat back acnes?

Accepted Answer

See Dermatologist: There are several treatment options, in step-wise therapy. The most successful medication for this is accutane, but requires strict oversight.

Question 7

how common is acne?

Accepted Answer

Expect it: Most teens will get some acne. It's unrelated to hygiene, touching, lifestyle, diet, sexuality, or much else. It can be managed but not cured until it goes away on its own. I was able to stop using medicine when I was 50. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in a few weeks, get with your personal physician.

Question 8

how do i treat acne?

Accepted Answer

MANY options!: Acne can be treated by a variety of different methods. One is by applying topical creams with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid active ingredients that dry up the skin and temporarily relieve visible acne. However, the problem is below the skin and so many chose antibiotics. They kill the bacteria that causes acne and again temporarily relieve symptoms. Accutane is the most effective long term.

Question 9

how to get off acne?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: Start with benzoyl peroxide; if this isn't enough visit your physician, first line is topical retinoic derivatives &/or a topical antibiotic such as clindamycin. If still not sufficient, the right systemic antibiotic for you, perhaps tetracycline 500 2x/day. Dermatologist visit if still not clear. Good luck. All acne is manageable today.

Question 10

how do i remove acne?

Accepted Answer

Acne: Acne treatments work by reducing oil production, speeding up skin cell turnover, fighting bacterial infection, reducing the inflammation or doing all four. With most prescription acne treatments, you may not see results for four to eight weeks, and your skin may get worse before it gets better.
