Today all types of acne can be treated and resolved with different treatment options. Acne may affect any skin type and any person. Acne is characterized by pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, redness, etc. many people believe that the person who does not wash often suffers from acne, but it is not so. Acne forms under the skin hence, washing the face continuously is not a solution. Gentle washing once a day and exfoliating the skin with a facial scrub twice a week is very important to treat acne and keep the skin healthy. This will help remove the layer of dead cells on the surface of the skin. For this a mild cleanser which suits your skin is very important. Using oil free cosmetics like lotions, creams, sunscreens, etc. is an integral part of acne treatment. One should be aware that hair products and gels tend to contain lot of oil. Benzoyl peroxide is a chemical present in most of the products used to treat acne. It is very effective and helps remove the dead cells as well as the debris which clogs the pores of the skin. There are many other medications like retin-A, accutane, and several antibiotics, to treat acne. Now a days surgery is also available.
