What is the best treatment for moderate, persistent acne?

What are the different types of methods for treatment acne?

• Answer:

  Below is a list of the at-home treatments that have found to be beneficial in reducing the appearance of acne. 1) Sulfur Treatment for Acne: I am sure that you have seen numerous different kinds of sulfur treatments on the Internet and in the drug stores. Most of these treatments are less than $10.00. My sister always used the sulfur bottle that was included in the Proactiv Kit that we had ordered for her. Unfortunately, the rest of the Proactic treatment didn’t work on my sister as we had hoped, however, the sulfur treatment helps. Take the sulfur treatment and put a small amount of the ointment directly onto the pimple. Leave the ointment on the pimple for around ten to fifteen minutes. When time is up, wash the area thoroughly but gently. Many times you will find that when you wash the area that a puss-like substance goes down the drain along with the sulfur ointment. This is a very fast acting treatment. Repeat this treatment on the same blemish for the next couple of nights. Using this treatment will help a lot in reducing the redness and swelling of the blemish. You will get the added bonus of keeping acne scars at bay also. 2) Orange Peel Treatment for Acne: When applied topically, Vitamin C is an essential in dealing with acne. This type of treatment is easy to mix together. Grate a small amount of orange peel in two teaspoons of water. Combine it together until it forms a paste-like consistency. Place the mixture directly on top of the pimple. Let it remain on the pimple until the mixture completely dries. Once it has dried completely, rinse it off gently. Repeat this treatment for a couple of days until the inflammation calms down within the pimple. You can stop applying this treatment when the inflammation has subsided and all you are left with is a small bump for a pimple. 3) Benzoyl-Peroxide Treatment for Acne: This is the most popularly known acne spot treatment out there. This is one of those times when you want the best. You will get the best results when using 10% Benzoyl-Peroxide. This is the only concentration worth using, especially for overnight spot treatment. Apply the Benzoyl-Peroxide directly to the zit, 2 to 3 times daily. Discontinue use if you notice that the zit has become severely dried out. Keep in mind that Benzoyl-Peroxide will stain. Make sure that you are careful not to get it on your clothing or towels and make sure that your pimples have dried prior to climbing into bed as it will stain your sheets and pillow cases with just a small amount. Good luck!
