Using Antibiotics to Treat Acne
October 8, 2009
Those of us who have to deal with acne on our face and bodies tend to go to the local store to buy acne-fighting products that are sold without a prescription; or run to a dermatologist to get a prescription for an antibiotic.
Very often antibiotics are used by dermatologists to treat acne. But how effective are antibiotics in treating acne? This article will answer your questions.
First, you should know what an antibiotic is. Antibiotic comes from the Greek words that mean “against life”. Antibiotics are used to fight off harmful bacteria in the body but they can also attack organisms in our body that are helpful to us.
This means that prolonged use of antibiotics to treat anything does not really help us in the long term. Antibiotics may relieve your acne for the present but they can cause damage to our health system later.
Antibiotics also come with a list of side effects. Some of the most common side effects are diarrhea and allergic reactions. If you take antibiotics for a prolonged period, the bacteria being treated may become immune to the antibiotic and begin to resist the treatment. That is why over time, your doctor may increase your dosage.
So how can you treat acne without the use of antibiotics? The answer is simple. Treat acne problems naturally. Acne forms because our body is not efficiently releasing the toxins that are built up inside our bodies.
Our bodies have the ability to heal themselves but this process is complicated by the external factors like pollution or an unhealthy diet that cause excess toxins.
To help your body release toxins and to avoid accumulating excess toxins, you can start by eliminating junk food from your diet. Unhealthy foods such as fast food, fried food and foods such as white bread that contain refined sugars should be eliminated from your diet. Foods such as these are not easy for the body to remove naturally.
Replace the junk food with healthier food choices such as natural foods. Some good natural food choices include fresh fruits and vegetables. You may also need to fast for a few days to help clean out your body but do not start a fasting program until you speak to your doctor.
Antibiotics may give you immediate results when treating acne but this is not the best way to treat the problem. The best way to treat acne is to go natural and allow your body to work its self-healing magic.
