Available treatments
bactericidals Widely available OTC bactericidal products containing benzoyl peroxide may be used in mild to moderate acne. The gel or cream containing benzoyl peroxide is rubbed, twice daily, into the pores over the affected region. Bar soaps or washes may also be used and vary from 2 to 10% in strength. In addition to its therapeutic effect as a benzoyl peroxide also prevents new lesions by killing acnes. Unlike antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide has the advantage of being a strong oxidizer and thus does not appear to generate bacterial resistance. However, it routinely causes dryness, local irritation and redness. A sensible regimen may include the daily use of low-concentration (2.5%) benzoyl peroxide preparations, combined with suitable non-comedogenic moisturisers to help avoid overdrying the skin.
Please note good care must be taken when using benzoyl peroxide, as it can very easily bleach any fabric or hair it comes in contact with.
common antibacterials that is used in acne treatments include triclosan, or chlorhexidine gluconate. They are known to be with less side-effects.
benzoyl peroxide preparations do not necessarily differ with regard to the maximum concentration of the active ingredient, but the drug is made available dissolved in a vehicle that more deeply penetrates the pores of the skin.
externally applied antibiotics such as erythromycin, clindamycin, Stiemycin or tetracycline aim to kill the bacteria that are harbored in the blocked follicles.
