Considering the fact that acne is by far the most common
disease on this planet, I'm constantly surprised at the amount of
misinformation there is all about
acne treatments. There are so many generally
held believes regarding treatments, which have no scientific or medical
validity, but continue to be passed on from person to person.
More worrying is the possible consequences of trying some of
these options. Here are listing of common acne treatments that categorically do
not work:
- Taking high dosages of vitamin A or B won't directly help
your pimples, and could cause other side-effects.
- Compression your spots is generally not recommended
inside combating pimples. Doing so will prolong and also spread the acne to
other areas of the affected area.
- Household cleanup products, even when diluted, should not
be used to treat pimples. There can be severe side effects including chemical
burns from pursuing this route.
- Continuous exposure to the sun or by using a sun bed is
not going to help your pimples, and can be dangerous if you're also taking oral
medication of certain types. For illustration taking certain antibiotics in
tablet form, can make your skin very sensitive to sunlight.
- Sticky tape left around the skin overnight and removed
each morning will certainly eliminate dead skin cells and excess oil, but is
likely to damage the very sensitive skin, and could cause an allergy towards
the glue.
- Similarly cleaning powders are usually ineffective for
pimples.
- Washing up liquid doesn't work for pimples.
- Home facial saunas will work nothing for your pimples,
but will surely aggravate, already
sensitive skin.
- Creas is a good treatment for nappy allergy, but highly
ineffective for pimples, primarily because it contains a mixture of greases and
oils which are bad for pimples.
There are various other 'not recommended'
pimples treatment
regimes, many that will worsen an already difficult condition. Avoid these
shortcuts and stick to a programme overseen by your medical professional, or
one which is based on solid scientific and also medical evidence. Should you
choose this, you'll succeed in overcoming your pimples condition.
