Removing acne is not easy. People have many different types of skin that produce many different kinds of acne. A product that works great on one person might not work for another. Fighting acne should be done internally and externally. Internal methods do not always involve medications but they should always involve proper hydration and diet. Knowing how sensitive your skin is will play a role in its treatment. Extractions might be effective on one persons skin and leave large holes on another’s highly sensitive skin. Picking the right treatment for your skin type will be the most important step. Here are the ways I managed to remove acne from my face and body.
1. Cortisone Shots removes acne in minutes. This is a shot given by you dermatologist into the infected area, usually large cystic acne. Cortisone reduces swelling and promotes healing. It is naturally occurring in your body from your adrenal glands, which are located above you kidneys. One small injection will make a large cystic nodule disappear. This is the fastest most effective way at removing acne.
2. Accutane will remove the worst case of acne. A dermatologist prescribes this drug to people who have severe acne. It takes two months to completely clear up your skin and the treatment can last up to 6 months. This drug has harsh side effects and as a result is not right for everyone. However, if you have tried other medications with no luck Accutane will be successful in removing acne.
3. Extractions are the easiest acne removal method that will get rid of your acne fast at home. Extraction will only work on pimples that have a head, blackheads and whiteheads. Cystic nodules cannot be treated with extractions. Never do extraction before you have to show your face anywhere. These will leave red marks for a day or two. Red spots from extractions can be reduced quickly with a clay mask.
4. Exfoliate your skin. One of the main reasons people have acne is because of dead skin cells. Dead skin cells build up in pores also known as hair follicles. Exfoliating your skin twice a week will remove the dead skin and make it less likely to have clogged pores. Exfoliating will not only act as an acne remover but also preventer.
5. Drink more water and drink less soda. Everything that you drink will go out of your skin when you sweat. Water will cleanse the skin and soda will treat it like a garbage can.
These techniques and medications are the only way I have been able to treat my skin. After suffering from extremely severe acne I would not be acne free today without using these five removing acne techniques.
