If you got acne as a teen, it was probably acne vulgaris. This malady is quite different from the equally-embarrassing acne rosacea. Retin-A can sometimes cause redness and irritation, but there are some formulas on sale that are slow-releasing.

Some other treatments tackle the things that cause acne, and they can (and often are) used together. Some of these treatments are: Lactic acid, or glycolic/gluconic acid (all of these are alpha hydroxys) -Antibiotics (overuse can make the patient’s body antibiotic resistant) -Birth control pills -Topical antibiotic creams -Benzoyl peroxide -Accutane for severe cases

Women who are pregnant or trying to conceive shouldn’t take Accutane because it may cause birth defects. If you’re a woman, and you use Accutane at all, be certain that you’re up to date on your birth control.

If you go to a doctor for your acne, it will be treated surgically. It can also be done at home, but this isn’t usually advisable because popping pimples by hand can result in scarred and infected skin. Most severe cases of acne will require a doctor’s care and treatment.  Read more...
