As you mentioned, different types of acne are treated differently.
For blackheads, you want either over the counter salcylic acid products for sensitive skin (use at night because you can get a rash from sun) or a prescription of Retin-A type product.
For pustular acne, you want either benzoyl peroxide products over the counter in the AM or something prescription such as clindagel, which has an antibiotic in it to reduce inflammation and keep acne bacteria at bay and benzoyl peroxide in it.
Cystic type acne needs an antibiotic, period. Tetracycline has been used for years and can be very helpful.
Give your acne products one month. If you don't see a large improvement, go to your family doctor or dermatologist.
You can also get a ';comedone extractor'; from your pharmacist to push out the blackheads. Don't listen to people who say it will cause scarring and all that. I worked dermatology and getting the blackheads out allowed the medication to get in.
If none of the usual products work, and the acne is really bothersome, then you can consider oral Accutane, which works like nothing else. It is a drug that is metabolized through your liver, so you need bloodwork before you start it, while on it, etc. to monitor your liver labs to make sure you don't have any unwanted side effects.
All over the product medications are the same: Benzoyl peroxide in the AM and Salicylic acid in the PM with a mild, non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) face wash such as Cetaphil, Almay and a moisturizer that also is hypoallergenic and non-pore-clogging.
See a doctor. Tell them what you tried and go get something that actually works.
Clindagel and Retin-A changed my face. Good luck.
PanOxyl is good for red acne. I like it too, but all these products can be irritating, so make sure you get the ';sensitive skin'; kinds and make sure you moisturize and use sun block for faces. Almay makes a three-step system of Face Wash, Acne product and moisturizer that is pretty nice, non-irritating, and can be effective. Oil of Olay has some good systems too. Don't use soap on your face. Use Cetaphil or a face wash that won't clog pores or irritate you.
Tea-Tree products and men may not be a good plan, do to studies showing a reduction in tetosterone, with female characteristics like growing breast tissue reported. Wait out the studies before you go using those products. Check out the FDA site for the facts on Tee Tree Oil and men. If I were a guy, I wouldn't touch it.How do get rid of acne since 4 years?%26amp;also whitehead blackhead?
Jesus! you are in a mess! go to the doctors!
Acne is very hard to get rid of. However you can do lots of things to reduce the amount of spots and hopefully at some point if you keep it up, you can get rid of it for good. Simply:
1. Wash your face twice a day using WARM water and tea tree facial scrub (recommended)
2. Drink lots and lots of water
3. Eat healthy foods, the nurtrients and minerals in the food will hydrate your skin and help unblock pores
4. Dont use chemicals on your skin, only dove soap and the tea tree facial scrub.
Just remember to keep on drinking water and to eat healthily. Also makesure you at least wash your face twice using dove soap in the morning and tea tree at night. Only use warm water as hot water opens the pores which can lead to infection. If none of this works or you feel you cannot handle it, consult your doctor and you will be prescribed with a medicine or be given a special treatment. But i recommend you to try these 4 steps for a couple of months before you trouble your doctor.
Remember the 4 things: Water, Fruit, Wash, No Chemicals.
Good luck and i hope i helped!!
