Acne has different causes for various people. It can be caused by the onset of puberty, your skin type, by stress or a whole host of different reasons.
If it is problem that doesn’t seem to be helped by over the counter remedies, a visit to the doctor to get an acne prescription could be the answer.
The doctor may advise hormonal pills, Retin-A, daily oral medications, creams or they may prescribe something that is relevant to skin type, sex or age.
A personalized acne prescription is so much more likely to work because the doctor should be able to pinpoint the type of acne and what causes it in each individual’s case and thus prescribe a remedy that is customized.
A search online for acne prescriptions should give an overview of what is available, however a trip to the doctor is always recommended before deciding to take any course of action.
Clearasil pimple cream is just one of many products that Clearasil offers to care for young skin and help fight acne. They have products for both everyday prevention and rapid spot treatment.
Clearasil was invented in 1950 by Iavan Combe. At the time it was the first brand created to look after young skin and combat acne. Nowadays it is owned by Reckitt Benckiser and is a proven market winner.
The company sells everything from Clearasil pimple cream and face washes to overnight gels and wipes. As active ingredients the range usually includes triclosan and salicylic acid. Triclosan is antifungal and used in may beauty products not just acne ones and Salicylic Acid slows down cell production in the follicles preventing more clogging. It also helps breakdown blackheads and whiteheads.
The Clearasil product range can be very confusing as there are so many options and products to choose from. I would recommend a toner, a cleanser, a moisturizer and perhaps a rapid treatment Clearasil pimple cream for those spots that appear at the worst times.
As with most medicines, using Tetracycline means side effects can occur. Some side effects will require medical attention. others are more common and not serious.
If any signs of redness, irritation, pain or swelling not present before use of this medication happens, consult with your doctor as soon as possible.
More common tetracycline side effects that do not need a doctor’s attention (unless they become bothersome or continue throughout the course of medication) are dry or flaky skin, yellowing of the skin particularly around the hairline and a stinging or burning sensation.
Apart from side effects, in the areas being treated you should look out for things like anemia, dizziness, allergic reactions, loss of appetite, nausea, ringing in ears and blurry vision.
Rare tetracycline side effects include muscle weakness, liver poisoning, sore throat and inflammation.
Before embarking on any course of antibiotics make sure you know what you are getting yourself into and that you understand and look out for all the potential side effects.
