Discover The Truth About Acne Medication

Millions of Americans in their teens fall victim to acne, and many of them visit the dermatologist in the hope of a cure – a magic drug that will help them attain acne free skin. The great knowledgeable medico prescribes medications that activate the beginning of the end the young fellow’s health and immune system with incredible accuracy.

Conventional acne medications consist of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids, each one of them having harmful side-effects for which further medications are needed to neutralize them. Some of these medicines include Tetracycline and Minocycline that try to reduce the inflammation and fight the bacteria. Then there is Adapalene that has a short term impact but comes with side effects. But the worst is Accutane that is made of Vitamin A – it causes side effects that are grave.

Of course the dermatologist will not tell you this – so this is where you can learn that the acne medication will end up:

1. Causing significant damage to the person’s internal system, destroying the natural internal balance.

2. Failing to cure acne or prevent acne by eliminating the ‘environment’ responsible for acne formation.

3. Worsening the acne and your health over time.

Steroids that are aimed at reducing acne inflammation have far reaching effects on a person’s liver, often damaging its performance which is vital for survival. Also, it is universal truth that one needs a good liver to gain a good skin. But if the liver is damaged the chances of an acne-free skin obviously goes with the wind.

Drugs such as tetracycline are antibiotics and they cause a lot of damage internally if you are taking these acne medications over time. Antibiotics kill bacteria, but we need them for many good reasons such as skin flexibility. However what is worse is the fact that antibiotics cannot make a difference between good and bad bacteria and end up killing them all, and so, a host of friendly bacteria like the probiotic bacteria, acidophilus, reputed to be the promoter of clear healthy skin. These good bacteria carry out many important functions like protecting a person’s GI tract from parasites and fungi which in turn helps the liver to function well. Taking stock, one may find that the list of injury outweighs the list of benefits.

So never fall into the acne medications trap, but sadly many cannot avoid this. Many of these remedies promise a quick result, but in reality, they do not deliver and end up harming your health. Try out some alternative acne medications that cost less and do not come with side effects too.
