Use topical skin treatments such as benzene peroxide, salicylic acid, or have a doctor prescribe anti-biotic medications such as tetracycline or accutane.What is the best prescribed medicine the treat severe body acne?
the dermatologist! just go to one near you, and tell them your condition. its a skin doctor
proactive sais its like # 1, but who doesnt... i tried it, it gave me a mild alergic reaction so i didnt continue... then i became 17, and my acne just dissapeared naturally... few years later, and soap and water in the shower works fine =)
Changing your diet is possibly the best way to treat acne, rather than creams and potions and pills. Eat less fats and no sugars and plenty of fresh vegetables and salads.
tetracycline
PROACTIVE!!! ITS AWESOME!!!!
ACCUTANE!! And it works
For body acne, Accutane is usually the best treatment because it is the only medication that provides long-term results. All other medications stop having results as soon as you stop using them. While Accutane can have significant side effects for some people, over two million people have taken this medication, and it provides long-term remission of acne for most/many of them.
If the doxycycline has not cleared your body acne, you should return to your physician and report that it is not providing adequate relief and inquire about Accutane. (Topical medications are difficult to use on body acne because clothing rubs them off, so they are not very practical.) If your physician does not want to prescribe you with Accutane, inquire why -- and consider seeing a different doctor. Good luck!
For those people who answered and said diet and soap
Acne myths
Contrary to popular belief acne is not caused by:
* eating fatty food or chocolate
* dirt - blackheads get their dark colour through excess skin pigment - not dirt so washing more does not help.
Acne is caused by the overactivity of the sebaceous glands that secrete oily substances onto the skin.
The sebaceous glands of people with acne are especially sensitive to normal blood levels of a hormone called testosterone, found naturally in both men and women.
I know its not really answering your question but it really annoys me when people comment on something they have no idea about. I would offer what treatment I have been on but i'm a girl, so dianette wouldn't realy work on you :P but good luck anyways!!
Soap.
Accutane is really good. Tazorac is also supposed to be pretty good for body acne. It makes your face peel like MAD, but because the skin on the rest of your body is heartier, I've heard good things about using it on body acne.
But something as simple as washing with an antibacterial soap might work. Lots of body washes clean up dirt, but not the bacteria that causes pimples.
Oh, and drink lots of water. Water does wonderful things for the skin.
Good luck!
The best medicine out there is right in front of your face!
two words
EAT HEALTHY
no medicine can CURE anything it merely covers it up. I promise you that if you eat right and exercise it will go away. Havent you noticed that your acne is worse when you eat worse?!
JUST DO IT THE RIGHT AND NATURAL WAY FOR PETES SAKE!
Try Proactive... its seems to work good! And if it doesnt they will refund your money!
Try to stay away from greesy/fried foods and drink tons of water!
proactiv helped me so much but that accivine or whatever i have heard a lot about it
clean %26amp; clear...duhhh
I use soap and water but some people complain that it dries their face.
