(Health-NewsWire.Net, March 25, 2015 ) Sugar Land, Texas -- Dr. Whitney Bowe, a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at New York's Mount Sinai Medical Center has this to say about the effectiveness of antibiotics,"We used to get more success with oral antibiotics, but the bacteria responsible for causing acne have become so resistant to the drugs that our ability to treat moderate to severe acne has become compromised".
Based on a 2008 study by Alabama University, acne is the most common skin condition in the United States. This study confirms that approximately 85% of teenagers, and a significant number of adults suffer from acne. About 43% of men and 51% of women in their 20's have some form of acne, while 7% of men, and 15% of women over the age of 50 are afflicted with acne.
In 2000, a study conducted in Britain found that 56% of all acne patients had strains of acne bacteria that had become antibiotic resistant. Now many countries report that more than half of the acne bacteria have evolved to have resistance to antibiotics.
Men and women can have acne from their teens all the way into adulthood. Although there is no cure for acne, there are many effective acne treatments. For awhile the best acne treatment that dermatologists have given on a regular basis has been antibiotics.
However with the increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics, other acne treatments have been chosen for many patients. Currently the best acne treatment so far has been the use of isotretinoin, better know as Accutane. Although this is usually a last resort for severe acne conditions, mainly cystic type acne. This is because there are several side effects from the use of Accutane, and it should not be taken by any women who is currently pregnant.
There are many other acne treatment alternatives such as topical treatments, laser or light-based treatments, diet modification, and chemical peels. Acne occurs when pores on the skin become clogged, and then the acne bacteria start building up inside the pore. When the immune system attacks the growing bacteria, inflammation occurs causing the red flaring bumps.
Currently as part of the best acne treatment alternatives, a new found acne treatment has been observed to be effective in reducing acne, also while treating it, lessens redness associated with acne break outs. This treatment is the use of tea tree oil, having completed several clinical trials as being capable in acne treatment.
A study at the Department of Dermatology, Skin Diseases and Leishmaniasis Research Center, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences found that a topical treatment of just a 5% tea tree oil gel was effective in the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris.
