No matter how badly you feel about getting rid of your acne, do not, for heaven's sake, go in for medications as they are no solution to acne. True, you have the right to visit a dermatologist and demand for medication but the results could bring about more hazards than itself. The truth is, prescription medications of the dermatologist may actually be causing more harm to your health that good - and they are not effective against acne.

The dermatologist may advise you to take antibiotics such as Tetracycline that controls inflammation and combats bacteria without considering its side effects or may recommend Adapalene which is supposed to tackle on a war footing. But are you really aware of its short lived proficiency and long range side effects? Most probably not. Well then, why don't you ask yourself if you can indulge in antibiotics that have far reaching side effects which may ruin your health? Even the steroids that your well-informed dermatologist has prescribed for your stubborn and troublesome can create more problem than good.

However, it is time that you should know some of the harmful effects of the so called medications.

1. They cause significant damage to your internal system as well as destruction of your internal balance that is natural to the human body.

2. They cannot cure your or even prevent it, leaving aside their boastful claim of fixing the 'environment for formation'.

3. The long term effect of these medications is disastrous on your and health.

Take, for example, the steroids that are said to reduce the inflammation of acne. But in reality, steroids are your liver's enemy number one. And when the liver is damaged (mind you, it is extremely difficult to reconstitute damage done to such vital organ like the liver) your chances of recovering an unblemished skin is lost forever.

Also,  if you think antibiotic medications will take care of your acne, you are far from the truth. In fact, they aggravate the and disturb the internal equilibrium to such an extent that the body forgets to perform its normal duties. Your appetite is lost as also the sleep pattern. But the worst is yet to come. Sir Alexander Fleming's brain child Penicillin and its modified group of highly potent drugs have the ability to mass murder bacteria irrespectively. Here in your case, the tetracycline performs its textbook duty by killing whatever bacteria it finds in your system and in the process annihilates the friendly bacteria, Acidophilus which protects you GI tract from parasites and fungi. So, your GI tract becomes vulnerable as a result of which your liver also remains unprotected. A rather sorry state of affairs, indeed!

Despite all the facts related to medications given above if you still insist on going for medication, you may be digging your own grave. Better don't. Go for an alternative instead that not only costs less, but also causes not side effects. These are the medications that work.
