Acne causes and treatments and how to treat body acne

Oral contraceptives have been found to work for women with acne. A combination of the testosterone suppressant, cyproterone acetate and the hormone ethinylestradiol (eg. Dianette) have been found to be an effective treatment. It works by suppressing the male hormones (that all women have) and with it, the production of sebum.
Many teenagers who suffer from this condition also suffer from some loss of self confidence as they see the invasion of their bodies by these strangers. Acne vulgaris can be on the face, chest and back. While the chest and back can be covered, the face obviously can't be without raising questions. Combine the redness usually associated with the pimples and you get a very interesting picture that can discourage many a strong heart.
The latest treatment to get rid of acne scars is the so-called Fractional Laser Therapy. Although it uses laser, this is different from laser resurfacing. This new technology in treating acne scars works at a deeper level compared to dermabrasion and laser resurfacing. The face need not to be wounded so the skin heals faster. Usually it only takes a few hours after the therapy before the skin is completely healed. Moreover, fractional laser therapy is less expensive compared to the two methods mentioned before. Since it is so, it is not covered by any insurance. However, before one may undergo fractional laser therapy, the existing acne dilemma must be controlled. There should be not inflamed pimples, blackheads or whatsoever.
