Dealing with Acne

Acne can have profound psychological side effects in both teens and adults if left untreated. Some people, especially teenagers, become emotionally troubled about their condition, and have problems forming relationships, developing social skills or keeping jobs. If you have a teen with acne it is very important to take this condition seriously and seek treatment and counseling to prevent the detrimental effects of acne.

It is important to be caring and supportive to teens and to foster the understanding that it is not his/her fault and that acne is not the result of something he/she did wrong.

Take steps early when acne develops and do not postpone treatment. Seek out the best possible treatment for acne. Trioxil (bisazulene gel) 14% is a breakthrough acne treatment that can treat acne and prevent new blemishes from forming. If the acne condition is characterized by deep nodules and cysts then topical treatments will not work and we highly recommend that you do a course of treatment with Accutane® (available from you doctor by prescription). Leaving nodules and cysts untreated will resolve in physical permanent scars.

Acne sufferers must understand that immediate results are not always possible. It is important to stick to the treatment with Trioxil® without skipping applications and practice good skin care basics. With time your acne will improve.

Understand that poor diet, poor hygiene, and stress can exacerbate acne symptoms. Try to stay away from junk food, especially sugary foods. It is important to practice a healthy lifestyle in the fight against acne and for better overall health.

Realize that while there is no cure for acne, there are effective treatments such as Trioxil® (bisazulene gel) 14% that can help keep the condition under control and help you maintain clear healthy looking skin.
