My friend is asking me about povidone-iodine as a topical antiseptic for acne. what do you think?
Iodine can aggravate acne...right?
Why her doctor recommends this product? I'm confused.. Iodine is bad for acne prone skin... But in betadine Indication it says that it is for acne.
Help!

for 5 dollars american, have your friend try this
raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar..
the following 2 testimonials can be seen at http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/acne.ht...
Angelina O, has found that applying ACV topically to her face several times a day (4 or more times) has cured her of a "very bad complexion". She reports that she applies it straight and that while it burns her skin a bit, it still works like a miracle!
Cheryl writes, "My daughter developed a case of moderate acne, and after trying a number of different things for over a year which helped very little or not at all, she started drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar three times a day and applying it topically once at night. She has been acne free for two months. It took about three weeks to clear up."
you can get it at the health food store, or in some super market health food sections.
good luck

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...
