9 Acne Treatments That Definitely do Not Work
Given that acne is by far
the most common disease in
the world, I'm constantly
surprised at the amount of
misinformation there is about
acne treatments. There are
so many commonly held believes
regarding treatments, which
have no scientific or medical
validity, but continue to
be passed on from individual
to individual. More worrying
is the possible consequences
of trying some of these options.
Here are list of common acne
treatments that categorically
do not work:
1.Household cleaning products,
even when diluted, should
not be used to treat acne.
There can be severe adverse
reactions including chemical
burns from pursuing this route
2.Similarly cleaning powders
are ineffective for acne
3.Washing up liquid does not
work for acne
4.Home facial saunas will
do nothing for your acne,
but will certainly aggravate,
already sensitive skin
5.Sticky tape left on the
skin overnight and removed
in the morning will certainly
remove dead skin cells and
excess oil, but is likely
to damage the sensitive skin,
and may cause an allergy to
the glue
6.Prolonged exposure to the
sun or using a sun bed will
not help your acne, and can
be dangerous if you are also
taking oral medication of
certain types. For example
taking certain antibiotics
in tablet form, will make
your skin highly sensitive
to sun light
7.Sudocrem is an excellent
treatment for nappy rash,
but highly ineffective for
acne, primarily because it
contains a mixture of greases
and oils which are bad for
acne
8.Taking high doses of vitamin
A or B will not directly help
your acne, and may cause other
side-effects
9.Squeezing your spots is
universally not recommended
in combating acne. Doing so
will prolong and spread the
acne to other parts of the
affected area
There are many other 'not
recommended' acne treatment
regimes, many of which will
worsen an already difficult
condition. Avoid these shortcuts
and stick with a programme
overseen by your medical professional,
or one which is based on solid
scientific and medical evidence.
If you do this, you'll succeed
in overcoming your acne condition.
