One theory is that it is not bacteria thats is responsible for causing acne. The real cause is toxins causing pimples.
Unfortunately in today’s environment and climate (unless you are luckily enough to live in the middle of nowhere and grow your own food) it is very difficult to block toxins causing pimples.
Some acidic foods, processed foods, chemically enhanced foods or food with additives can cause imbalances in your body. Even water, air pollution or stress can create these toxins that can invade your body.
If you have too many toxins floating around your body, you may experience one of more of the following symptoms: recurring headaches, low energy, frequent constipation, irritability or acne.
Acne happens when your body cannot remove enough toxins through your kidneys and bowels (which are your first line of defense) and then the second line of defense is your liver . If this is not adequate, toxins will be released through your skin.
It could be said that acne is a sign that the liver is growing weaker in its detoxification abilities . This makes it worthwile to see what toxins are in your environment.
Some people say, and even research proves, that using antibacterial soap can in fact kill off normal bacteria and create a mutant bacteria that becomes resistant to any soap that you choose to use and even some antibiotics. If you these soaps all the time you can also run the risk of making the skin impervious to non harmful bacteria that actually helps maintain your skin’s health.
Nobody is saying that you should not use antibacterial soaps, but to use them all the time could be counter productive in the long run. Did you know that three quarters of liquid soaps and about a third of bar soaps have antibacterial products in them anyway? So normal soaps are just as likely to do the required job if you do not have a major problem with acne. If you have a major problem you should consult your doctor about potential medications you could try.
It is also probably best to let children use normal soaps because their skin is very sensitive and good at producing its own bacteria that helps skin maintenance.

Tetracycline and pimples are a common combination because tetracycline is the most prescribed antibiotic to treat acne. It can be taken orally or applied as a cream.
Before a doctor prescribes tetracycline, he will ask you about allergies and tell you the pros and cons of using an antibiotic like tetracycline.
If you are prescribed tetracycline it is important to let the doctor know if you are taking any other medication or applying any other creams to help your acne because they may potentially react with tetracycline and pimples might get worse.
Even if the acne starts to clear up after a few days of using tetracycline you must carry on and complete the whole course orthe acne may return. It may take 4 – 6 weeks before an improvement is seen. If there is no improvement or the condition gets any worse in this time period its time for another visit to the doctor and he may change the antibiotic.
