The dead pig problem is then, like teenage acne, just another awkward byproduct of China s rapid growth spurt.

Likewise the acne-fighting drug minocycline a derivative of tetracycline stains teeth. Even relatively common drugs such as antihistamines and blood pressure medications can sometimes yellow teeth.

One study by researchers at University of California Berkeley found that anarcardic acid is effective at killing the bacteria that causes acne as well as that which causes tooth decay and the erosion of tooth enamel.

This reminds me of the argument about acne and chocolate. Chocolate companies have proven there is no link to acne and chocolate.

But it isn't the chocolate that causes the acne. it's the paraffin they put in the chocolate to make it shine

and look pretty that causes the acne. wow symptoms got auto-corrected to systems. nice PS.

I find most they arguments to be utter BS the majority of Pro vaccine websites are run by the drug companies.

#Acne cant be prevented or cured, but it can be treated effectivelyacne just won't go away. The skin condition characterized by unsightly blemishes remains one of the most common disorders there is with an estimated 80 percent of all people having outbreaks at some point in their lives.

Acne doesn't discriminate by gender or race and while it's most common in adolescents

There's no way to prevent acne there's no cure and today's over-the-counter remedies contain the same basic ingredients as those on drugstore shelves decades ago.

And acne won't just go away: Not treating it can actually make things worse. But acne can be treated effectively.

Recent advances in both medications and approaches to care have reduced significantly the impact it once had on both skin and self-esteem.

because there are so many more options for treating acne said Sarah Taylor M d. a dermatologist at Wake Forest Baptist Medical center.

We're much better equipped to deal with all different types of acne. Acne occurs when the skin's pores become clogged.

Each pore opens to a hair follicle containing a gland that produces oil called sebum which helps keep skin soft.

--thus partially accounting for acne flare-ups in teens and pregnant women--and heredity can be a factor

but research has shown that acne is caused not by dirty skin or by eating chocolate pizza or greasy foods.

While nonprescription acne medications aren't necessarily all that new or improved or that different from each other they can be effective on mild acne.

Over-the-counter products can work in many cases said William Huang M d. another Wake Forest Baptist dermatologist.

Acne can cause them a lot of stress and affect their emotional well-being so they want something that works right away

Dermatologists generally don't treat many patients with mild acne because those problems can be cleared up by the proper use of consumer products

Instead Taylor said We tend to see people whose acne is out of control and has not been helped by OTC products or prescriptions from their regular doctor.

the acne is bad (with for example a lot of redness around pimples or the appearance of cysts) getting worse or spreading;

--which are coupled frequently in a single lotion gel or other delivery substance--in combination with oral antibiotics to address multiple causes and effects of acne.

The treatment depends on the severity of the acne the type of acne where it's located and the patient's individual preference and motivation for treatment.

And they're generally more cognizant of the psychological damage that acne can inflict. Whether it's because of personal experience

I'd say dermatologists as a whole are much more sensitive to the psychosocial aspects of acne than in the past Huang said.

Or empathy really because I had acne too when I was a teen. But no matter how understanding dermatologists are they--like other clinicians--face the problem of getting patients to follow their instructions.

and encouraging text messages can help increase teenage patients'proper use of acne medications Consistency is the whole key to treating acne Taylor said.
