Many people suffer from acne today however do not really know how to get rid of it. Thus this article serves the purpose of informing you and pointing out some helpful treatments that will help vanish your acne problem. There are two different types of treatment you can take depending on how severe the acne is, these are topical treatments which are put onto the skin and the second is oral remedies that should be taken in by your mouth.

It is wise to understand the seriousness of your acne maybe by visiting your doctor or asking expert advice so you know exactly how to treat it. Here is a guide to help you pinpoint which stage you are at:

Least serious: acne cleansers or OTC remedies

Mildly serious: acne cleansers, OTC remedies, Topical benzoyl peroxide and antibiotics

Moderately serious: Topical retinoids, Oral antibiotics and even try some hormonal tablets

Extremely serious: Oral retinoids

Home and chemist purchased treatments do not need a prescription from your doctor and so this can be any cleansing products or generally looking after the acne by avoiding severely scratching to cause scarring.

If you want to go with oral antibiotics these will need to be prescribed by your doctor

And the treatment may last for several of months till it has cleared or can either be used whenever the acne is inflamed or irritates you.

There are also several herbal treatments you can try such as tea tree oil which is an potently powerful herb based oil which is known for its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. However due to the powerfulness of this herb, you may need to go easy on the doses so that your skin does not suffer adverse reactions as many with acne also have very sensitive skin.

You can try olive leave extract which is again known to contain effective and fast acting antibacterial properties. Having two cups of green tea daily is a major help to your inner and outer systems as it flushes through all the rubbish in your body and replaces it with bioflavanoids and antioxidants which are great for clearing up spots.

Burdock has been known in the past to cure a lot of skin troubles and maybe it will do the trick for you! It has effective cleansing power and its root is a very good source of its nutrients. The plant also comes in forms of tea or fizzy drinks however tea is more effective in solving acne problems.

Alternatively if you are still having troubles, you can always try acupuncture treatments as many reports have been recorded that it actually can help with acne but this is still unconfirmed so needs to be clarified.

Also do not expect acne treatments to work in a flash as sometimes it can take up to 2-6 months for the effects to become visible. If it however doesn't improve you should book an appointment with your doctor and see what tips they have for you.

Hopefully if you carry on eating healthily and treat your skin well with these medical treatments you can say goodbye to your acne in no time!
