What is the best adult acne treatment?

Pimples or acne can be treated very well with regular treatment. It is a common occurrence at a young age due to the sudden spurt in hormonal levels which increase oil production in the skin.





A course of treatment spread over 8-12 weeks provide excellent clearing of the eruptions. Occasionally some girls suffer from a condition called PCOD or Polycystic Ovarian Disease which makes treatment difficult. Tablets containing Isotretinoin (Accutane in the US and Sotret / Isotroin in India) are helpful in such cases although they should not be taken by girls without medical supervision. Minocycline or Doxycycline tablets too help.





There are several gels and creams containing Clarithromycin (Acnesol-CL gel / Crixan in India. ), Clindamycin ( Clindac-A, Clingard, Faceclin ) and Benzoyl Peroxide (Benzac AC/Pernex AC) which help to clear pimples. Tretinoin (Retino A), Adapalene (Adaferin) and glycolic acid (Glyco A) fades scars as well.





Also there are some chemical peel treatment which some doctors do for stubborn scars. The end result is quite good in most cases if the patient is truly patient.





For best results visit your doctor regularly and avoid applying moisturisers or undergoing facial cosmetic treatments
