Top 10 Medicines to Treat Pimples











10 Best Acne Medications for Men and Women


Isn’t it ironical that the worst battles of beauty are fought when we are supposed to be glowing and beaming with the onset of adulthood? Or that our memories of youth or teenage are etched on the face instead of the mind? Yes, acne attack has done some absolute wonders. Basic care needs to begin as soon as one reaches ten years of age. Hygiene checkpoints such as washing the face every day with water and/or mild face wash go a long way in delaying the acne attack. Apart from washing the face regularly, it is important to curb fast food intake for sure. Undigested oil and fat prevent the enzymes from maintaining the smooth functioning. Before we talk about the best drugs and topical medicinal creams to prevent acne, let's talk about pimples in detail and why they happen.


Hormones are great. They shape our personalities and define our thoughts. However, excessive hormonal secretion either leads to behavioral disorders or pimples & acne. There are a lot of remedies available around, and I am going to list down the best of those for your benefit. A lot of remedies are available in the kitchen; however, you need to be extremely patient while getting into a kitchen based treatment. In case these treatments do not work as expected then consult a Doctor or a Gynecologist for a suitable treatment.

Acne happens during teenage and continues till mid-thirties in a lot of cases. This sudden sprout of acne is not related any specific gender or race. Most of the people suffer Acne attack in some of the other form. People with oily skin are more prone to acne attack because of excessive oil secretion.


How Acne Medication Helps?


  • Medicines open the skin pores and help them on maintaining the permeability.
  • Eliminating bacteria.
  • Reducing the circulation of oil in the skin.
  • Reducing hormonal activity.

What are the Ways or Methods of Pimple Treatment?


The perfect way of treating acne is applying an ointment on the face, known as the topical treatment and consuming medicines simultaneously.

Drug Options Available:


The kind of options you utilize depends upon the kind of ailment. If there is no open pore, and the skin contains only red bumps minus open pores, then only creams will suffice. However, in case the pores are open along with the considerable presence of acne, then application of cream or ointment coupled with medicines and tablets will offer the best solution.



Most popularly prescribed acne creams by dermatologists:


  • Salicylic Acid – Stridex
  • Benzoyl peroxide – Triaz or Brevoxyl
  • Antibiotics like Doxycycline and Erythromycin
  • Tazorac
  • Creams like Azelex

I have tried to include best topical medications and ingredients available in the market which will help you in getting rid of pimples and acne. Thank science for various combinations of salts and thank nature for fantastic herbs which take care of our problems so effectively.

A lot of external factors like stress, pollution and sinful eating and binging take a toll on our looks and appearance. Our body is also a machine. What we eat eventually shows up. I have been through this troublesome phase as well; one thing which I did for sure was curbed my junk food intake.

It is recommended to start with herbal treatments before jumping onto drugs and medication. Herbal remedies take a lot of time, but their final outcome is fantastic. If you lack patience, choose a mild medication cream before trying a concentrated product. And yes, just pray that you do not have to encounter pimples and acne ever. Blessed are the souls who have a simple sailing during the troublesome hormonal hangover!!
