Acne Medicines & Antibiotics

Antibiotics have come a long way since their discovery in the late 1920's by Alexander Fleming. Nowadays, antibiotics or antibacterials are used to cure a variety of organism-induced infections and diseases.

One such condition that could be effectively cured by antibiotics is extreme infection by acne bacteria.

Extreme acne infections can be addressed properly with certain kinds of antibiotics. This is because one underlying factor behind breakouts is the uncontrolled or aggravated proliferation of the pimple-causing bacteria, medically known as P. acnes, when other measures are not taken on-time.

To eliminate extreme infection by acne-inducing bacteria, several antibacterials have been developed as part of some acne treatment therapies.

The antibacterials commonly used against severe acne infections are the following:

• Clindamycin – Available as both oral and topical acne medications, clindamycin is an effective agent against P. acnes. At the start of a treatment therapy, these antibacterials are usually given in 75 to 150 milligrams that could be taken two times a day. The possible unwanted effect of this medication is an increased susceptibility to yeast infections among female patients and to intestinal infections.
• Erythromycin – A very typical drug used against zits, erythromycin can both kill the pimple-causing bacteria and reduce the swelling and redness of the affected area. Experts recommend that this medication should be orally taken with a full stomach since it might upset your tummy and might make you feel nauseous.
• Tetracycline – This medication can also kill the acne-inducing bacteria but dermatologists often prescribe it for a short-term therapy since some types of P. Acnes have become immune to this drug. For this treatment to be effective, doctors suggest that you do not take this medication with your meals. This potent antibacterial however, is not suitable for kids who are eight years old and below and for women who are expecting.
• Doxycycline – This medication is a similar version of tetracycline, and is used for more resistant cases of acne. Similar to erythromycin, this medication best works on a full tummy since it could also lead to nausea. The possible unwanted effects of this treatment is an increased photo-sensitivity, making you more prone to sunburns.
• Minocycline – Derived from tetracycline, this medication can also effectively kill P. acnes. Ideally, this medication is to be orally taken with an empty tummy because its effectiveness might decrease when mixed with your meals. As with all kinds of antibacterials used to cure breakouts, unwanted effects are unavoidable in some instances. These unwanted effects could include nausea, dizziness, and changes in skin and teeth color.

Testimonials

This cream is amazing. My skin has never been clearer. It seems to be working better than my prescription creams. My scars also appear to be reducing. I also have been using it on burns with excellent results. Thank you for such a wonderful product! Shelley Orton. UT. USA.

I am halfway through my second jar, and I am very, very happy with the results that I have seen. I have suffered from bad break outs since I was a teen, but in my late twenties (with job stress) it got much worse. I'm 30 now. This resulted in minor to moderate pitted scars. This product had greatly reduced the appearance and has made my skin so smooth and very youthful looking. I feel 100% better about myself and my husband has noticed alot of improvement even from the first week. I must suggest that people continue to use the product even if you think that your not noticing much improvement (dont give up after two weeks). Remember that nothing works overnight, so be patient. I noticed results the next day and each day after that. I love it. Please don't print my name, but please feel free to use my comments. J. Davies. USA. 

I am using the product in conjunction with the antibiotic minocycline and I've never seen such great results from any other product. I've struggled with breakouts since the fifth grade and I am now 32. In the last 3yrs. I developed cystic acne which is very damaging to the skin. BIOSKINCARE is the answer to my prayers, the results were so fast, I've also noticed a change in old acne scars. I am grateful for finding this product. I highly recommend this to everyone.  Vicki W. Weedville, PA, USA
