Acne happens more often, and with greater
severity, in men than women. Vitamins are
good for your body in general but won’t
help you treat the acne. Easier forms of
acne (acne comedonicus and acne vulgaris)
can be treated only with local therapy
which includes:
1. Antibacterial soap or detergent for
cleaning the face;
2. Phototherapy (sun exposure is useful);
3. Benzoyl peroxide (3-10% solution);
4. Gel adapalene;
5. Creams tat contain retinoic acid;
6. Local antibiotics (klindamycin
solution).
More severe forms of acne (acne cystica,
acne conglobata and acne fulminans) also
require systemic therapy:
1. Antibiotics (klindamycin, tetracycline,
erythromycin);
2. Hormonal therapy (in women);
3. Surgical incision, and
4. Isotretinoin.
You may want to consult a dermatologist
about therapy options in your case.
