Answer 1

Hormone treatment for acne
Co-cyprindiol (cyproterone acetate with ethinylestradiol) contains an anti-androgen. It is no more effective than an oral broad-spectrum antibacterial but is useful in women who also wish to receive oral contraception.

Improvement of acne with co-cyprindiol probably occurs because of decreased sebum secretion which is under androgen control. Some women with moderately severe hirsutism may also benefit because hair growth is also androgen-dependent. Contra-indications of co-cyprindiol include pregnancy and a predisposition to thrombosis.

CSM advice
Venous thromboembolism occurs more frequently in women taking co-cyprindiol than those taking a low-dose combined oral contraceptive. The CSM has reminded prescribers that co-cyprindiol is licensed for use in women with severe acne which has not responded to oral antibacterials and for moderately severe hirsutism; it should not be used solely for contraception. It is contra-indicated in those with a personal or close family history of venous thromboembolism. Women with severe acne or hirsutism may have an inherently increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Acne
Treatment of acne should be commenced early to prevent scarring. Patients should be counselled that an improvement may not be seen for at least a couple of months. The choice of treatment depends on whether the acne is predominantly inflammatory or comedonal and its severity.

Mild to moderate acne is generally treated with topical preparations. Systemic treatment with oral antibiotics is generally used for moderate to severe acne or where topical preparations are not tolerated or are ineffective or where application to the site is difficult. Another oral preparation used for acne is the hormone treatment co-cyprindiol (cyproterone acetate with ethinylestradiol); it is for women only.

Severe acne, acne unresponsive to prolonged courses of oral antibiotics, scarring, or acne associated with psychological problems calls for early referral to a consultant dermatologist who may prescribe isotretinoin for administration by mouth.

Rosacea
Rosacea is not comedonal (but may exist with acne which may be comedonal). The pustules and papules of rosacea respond to topical metronidazole or to oral administration of oxytetracycline or tetracycline 500 mg twice daily or of erythromycin 500 mg twice daily ;courses usually last 6–12 weeks and are repeated intermittently. Alternatively, doxycycline in a dose of 100 mg once daily may be used [unlicensed indication] if oxytetracycline or tetracycline is inappropriate (e.g. in renal impairment). Isotretinoin is occasionally given in refractory cases [unlicensed indication]. Camouflagers may be required for the redness.

CO-CYPRINDIOL
Additional information interactions (Ethinylestradiol).
A mixture of cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol in the mass proportions 2000 parts to 35 parts, respectively

Indications severe acne in women refractory to prolonged oral antibacterial therapy (but see notes above); moderately severe hirsutism

Cautions see under Combined Hormonal Contraceptives,

Contra-indications see under Combined Hormonal Contraceptives,

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

Answer 3

Try a tea tree face wash followed by an oat exfoliator, do not use an exfoliator with apricot stones or that sort of thing as it can spread the infection. Follow by using a moisturiser with manuka honey. Try and use a face mask as well such as bentonite clay as it is very good with acne and spots and works quite fast.
You can also use 40ml jojoba oil with 15drops lavendar (to help with scars), 15drops tea tree (to help clear spots) and 15drops palmarosa (to help scars and redness) before you go to bed.
I have been using this for a few weeks and have seen remarkable improvement, I would not take tablets as I believe it will not help the problem in the future.

Answer 4

I strongly recommend you go to a dermatologist. I have delt with acne for many years as a teenager, in my twenties it developed into adult acne. I have tried every medicine and home remedy there is, the only thing that worked for me was Proactive, it didn't dry out my skin or cause any redness like other medication.

Answer 5

look for a seaweed/kelp product.

When I was in the US Navy, I was able to go to England and there was a product that was sold over there made out of 100% Seaweed and Kelp. I used it for 2 weeks faithfully and I have not had any sort of acne since!

Go to HSN.com, and look at the "SeriousSkinCare" line. They have very good products and not expensive, to order for acne. I was watching the show yesterday, as the acne line was on and it has very good products for girls, boys, women, and men with acne. They will deliver it to your home. I use HSN often for beauty products myself, except I am on the dry side. I use the "Serious Skin Care" line and its wonderful!

Hi, Tea Tree is the answer! Because of its many uses it has been referred to as a 'medicine cabinet in a bottle'. Here are just some of them: 1. Acne - apply pure oil to the blemish. 2. Insect bites, razor burn, lice, and dandruff. 3. Cold sores - apply pure oil directly to the sore. 4. Cuts/scrapes & abrasions - rub a few drops of pure oil into the cut. Do not use tea tree oil on deep cuts and wounds. 5. Nasal ulcers - drip 1-3 drops of oil onto a cotton swab and apply it directly to the affected area. 6. Toothache - drip a few drops directly into the cavity. Or drip a couple drops on your finger and rub the tooth and surrounding gum. 7. Sore throat/throat infection - gargle with 8-10 drops of tea tree oil diluted in half an ounce of water. Repeat two or three times within twenty minutes. 8. Ear infection - drip about three drops of tea tree oil into 5 ml of water. Fill a dropper with the solution and gently fill the ear with it. Hold it in the ear for half a minute and drain. Repeat several times a day or however often is necessary. Do not put pure tea tree oil into the ear. Also, rub pure oil onto the outer surface of the ear. 9. Boils - apply two drops to the boil daily for at least 1 month. 10. Ringworm - apply pure oil daily for at least one month straight. Make sure to do it every day or the fungus can build up a resistance to the oil. 11. Athlete's foot - apply pure oil directly to the feet, on a daily basis for at least a month to make sure the fungus is destroyed. In addition, you can drip several drops into a basin of water and soak the feet. 12. Canker sores - apply pure oil directly to the sore. 13. Oral hygiene - add one drop of oil to your toothbrush when brushing your teeth, or put one drop into the crease of your finger, run dental floss through it and floss. 14. Dandruff - add two or three drops to your shampoo. So how do you use it? Simple. Just apply it directly onto the affected area of skin, a couple times a day. A word of caution: Tea Tree oil is very pungent and potent. It should only be used externally, and sparingly. It should not be used on babies or small children. Keep it away from eyes and wash your hands after using it. If you find it too strong, try diluting it with water until you find a comfortable potency. This can be bought from a Natural Healthcare website. It currently has 1/3 off with free delivery. I have attached the link below. Hope this helps!

The doctor can give you something to help, alternatively Evening Primrose oil capsules are certainly worth trying I know they have helped quite a few people I know, give them a try, really cheap and you can get them from any supermarket, you may even get one that is combined with vitamin B which will work even better as it may help the hormones. Good luck
