Prescription Acne Remedies
Sometimes when you have acne, especially if it is chronic and affects your self esteem, you will want to find something that will clear up your skin. In many cases, over the counter products do not work well and you need something stronger. The good news is that there is help and if you see a dermatologist, he or she can give you prescription strength acne medicine to help you look and feel better.
There are many different kinds of acne medication that are available through prescriptions. Your doctor will take a look at your skin and determine which is right for you. Sometimes one type of prescription may be enough, however, many dermatologists will recommend acne treatment that includes more than one prescription.
Acne soaps and cleansers: Your doctor may recommend using a prescription soap or cleanser for your face or for your body depending on your problem area. These usually contain a higher amount of salicylic acid or other acne remedy and will clean and cleanse the skin. Your doctor will probably recommend that you treat and wash the area at least twice a day and after sweating. This is the only way to make sure the area stays clean.
After that, your doctor will probably give you some type of lotion or cream that you will apply to spots on your face or skin. These are usually like Clearasil, but is higher concentrated. If you have a very serious acne problem, your doctor may recommend an antibiotic to help clear away any infection that might occur during breakouts.
Your doctor will have your best interest in mind and will give you what you need to help clear your skin. You should remember that it will be up to you to make sure that you adhere to the instructions and use the products and prescribed.
