I know the cure for acne !!!!!

[Oasis]

Hello - I have had extensive experience with acne and I have discovered a powerful tool to combat it and prevent scarring :

But first to understand the cure , u must know the cause :

Acne is caused when certain hormones known as androgens circulate in greater than normal amounts . That is why during the teen years , when hormones are working furiously, acne is common. these androgens can also be triggered by other things like stress. a recent study found that people under stress had 25% more acne . Now these androgens hit the oil glands which are most numerous on the face, back and chest. These oil glands then swell . Bacteria just love to feast furiously on these swollen oil glands. this is bacteria that normally resides on the skin surface. the bacteria continue to multiply and cause the skin to to inflame with pus and erupt. these eruptions are the pimples or "acne". so the trick with acne then becomes to somehow manipulate this process to prevent the eruptions and worse to break the skin surface which causes scars. A very good way of manipulating this process is to kill off this bacteria when they start to feast so that the skin doesn't erupt to form a pimple. The bacteria can be kiled off by drugs we all know as
"antibiotics" Now there are many antibiotics out there but some of the best ones for skin infections like acne are : minocycline and secondly doxycycline.

From personal experience I have seen my acne stop swelling and subsiding. If only I had had this knwledge earleir when I was younger, I could have prevented several of my scars......

Another very important thing with acne is to keep the face oil free by washing though not excessively since this can aggravate the condition. Or just rubbing the face dry. and DO Not pinch any pimple ever as this will scar.

I hope that my expereince can atleast help someone else out there. So for all of u who are desperate with this plague, I urge u to try minocycline .
this is much safer than a drug like accutane. And shud be easy to get a prescription for from ur doc.

Minocycline , more than anything else is like a cure while one is going thru a bout of acne.

I took doxycycline once and ended up in the ER, unable to stop vomiting.

can you explain more on what minocycline is? any known side effects?

Hi, I was on Minocycline and I was on Doxycycline. I had a bad experience my right lower lip in the corner of the bottom part turned a bluish purple color.I guess its a possible side effect. If I would be a teenager it could have turned my teeth grey my dentist told me.I am trying an alternative route.

Don't think it's a good idea to advise people to take an antibiotic like that.. Can interfere with medications.. diseases..disorders. Please speak to your doctor before taking anything like that. Not trying to be mean.. I've been hospitalized as well from taking antibiotics. Even when the doc prescribed em!
