Question 1

is there an easy solution to acne problems?

Accepted Answer

Need Rx: Over-the-counter preparations do not work well. I start with topical Clindamycin with or without a retinoic acid derivative. If needed after a few weeks, consider adding an oral antibiotic such as Erythromycin or tetracycline / Minocycline as suitable for the individual. Dermatologists have the big guns -- accutane, lasers. Freedom from acne should be a person's right. Good luck.

Question 2

are there any great natural solutions for acne?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: Acne is a serious, chronic disease that needs to be managed scientifically until it remits on its own. The stuff that works (benzoyl peroxide, retinoic acid derivatives, salicylic acid, prescription antibiotics) all are gifts from mother nature. If you're responsible for a young person's health, you have a duty to provide effective treatment including physician consultation.

Question 3

nothing seems to work on my acne. any solution?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist: This condition may need some close collaboration from you and your dermatologist.

Question 4

acne help. help me find my solution!, what to do?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: Forget all the "pop" recommendations. If topical benzoyl peroxide 5% 2x/day has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician for prescription-strength stuff. All acne can be managed nowadays though you'll need to wait until it self-cures before you can stop taking medication.

Question 5

what is the best solution for severe acne problem?

Accepted Answer

Isotretinoin: If you're using the word 'severe', your acne is a grave personal and professional liability. Your personal physician may try any of several rx's (a combination of tetracycline and topical benzoyl peroxide, or some other rx, might perhaps clear you), but don't hesitate to try isotretoin if offered. It's not for sissies, but it's better than not being able to get the job you want. Best wishes.

Question 6

what is considered the most effective acne solution?

Accepted Answer

Acne : Depending on the severity of the acne, combination therapy with topical antibacterials , retinoids , and sometimes oral antibiotics or Accutane may be prescribed . See your dermatologist to evaluate the acne and prescribe the appropriate treatment.

Question 7

how long is it supposed to it take for clinique acne solution to show the full effects?

Accepted Answer

Salicylic acid: This might work against your acne but is unlikely to clear you unless you have a very mild case. Get with your physician if you still have it after 2 weeks.

Question 8

i have tried many different solutions for my acne, but nothing seems to give lasting results. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See dermatologist: There are many ways to treat acne and the medication or laser required is dependent on the type and severity of your condition.  A dermatologist would be the one to advise you on your options.

Question 9

what is the best otc topical drug to remove redness after acnes ? my face is have always redness of already eliminated acnes what's the solution ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: How long has it been since the ance disappeared ?   You may need something more aggressive like chemical peels to get rid of the layers little by little as at times the ted spots can turn into permanent  dark spots. You could try a low strength of hydro quinine but we usually reserve this medication for the darker spots and not the red ones. Be sure you keep moisturizing well!

Question 10

any solution for acne?(face)

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'.
