Acne antibiotic treatment

People want good look and spends huge amount for treating of blackheads, whiteheads or red pimples. These skin conditions are known as acne and occurs when the pores or the small tiny holes on our face become clogged. Depending on the blockage or plug’s appearance it is known as whiteheads or blackheads. These are commonly occurs on face but can also occur on the arms, legs or trunk. Although acne is most common on teenager but it can occur at any age. Although acne can be caused by various factors but the most common factors include hormonal changes, certain drugs, high level of uncomfortable weather conditions such as humidity and certain cosmetic products.

Human body has pores on the surface of the skin and each pore opens from a canal called follicle. Follicle contains hair and oil gland. The oil produced by oil glands keeps our skin clean as well as the oil removes dust or dirt from the face. Sometimes the oil glands produce excess oil and the excess oil chokes the pore. This results in accumulation of bacteria, dust or dirt and causes acne.

Various antibiotic treatments are available for acne. The common antibiotics prescribed are tetracycline and erythromycin. Although the different antibiotics acts in different ways but the most common act is to reduce the number of bacteria in and around follicle. The antibiotics also help in reducing the free fatty acids that is responsible for itching.

Tetracycline is the most common antibiotic used for treating acne. It is available in tablet,  ointment and solution. The medicine stops the growth of bacteria produced on the skin caused by acne or any cut mark, wound or burn. The medicine is generally recommended twice a day until you see complete recovery from acne. The medicine is more effective if taken empty stomach. The medicine should be taken as prescribed by your doctor or medical health professional and should complete the course. The medicine should not be used if you are allergic to tetracycline or any of its component, pregnant or trying to become pregnant or nursing mother.

Erythromycin is another commonly used antibiotic used for acne. It is very useful for skin infections and the medicine stops the growth of bacteria produced on the skin. The medicine is also useful for other infection including lung infection. It is also useful in reducing reddish appearance of acne lesions. It is generally recommended twice a day and can be taken with or without food. The medicine should be taken as prescribed by your doctor or medical health professional. If you do not observe any improvement in your condition, you should contact to your doctor.
