Since acne is by far the most common condition in the world, I am constantly amazed at how much misinformation there is about acne treatments. There is so much conventional wisdom about healing that has no scientific or medical validity, but continues to be passed down from person to person. More worrisome are the possible consequences of using some of these options. Here is a list of common acne treatments that categorically don't work:
1. Household cleaners, even if diluted, should not be used to treat acne. Serious adverse reactions can occur from following this route, including chemical burns.
2. Similar cleansing powders are not effective for acne.
3. Dishwashing liquid doesn't help acne.
4. Home facial saunas won't do anything for your acne, but they will certainly aggravate already sensitive skin.
5. Adhesive tape left on the skin overnight and removed in the morning will certainly remove dead skin cells and excess oil, but it can damage sensitive skin and cause allergies to the adhesive.
6. Prolonged exposure to the sun or tanning beds will not help clear acne and can be dangerous if you are also taking certain types of oral medications. For example, taking certain antibiotic pills will make your skin very sensitive to sunlight.
7. Sudocrem is an excellent remedy for diaper rash, but a very ineffective remedy for acne, mainly because it contains a mixture of fats and oils that are harmful to acne.
8. Taking large doses of vitamin A or B will not help you get rid of acne and may cause other side effects.
9. Popping pimples for acne is not recommended. This will prolong and spread the pimples to other parts of the affected area.
There are many other "not recommended" acne treatments, many of which will make an already serious condition worse. Avoid these shortcuts and follow a program supervised by your doctor or one based on solid medical and scientific evidence. If you do this, you will be successful in overcoming the acne condition.
