How To Get Rid Of Zits Fast

I'm going to tell you how to get rid of what are commonly known as zits. These are pimples or small boils which occur usually on the face. They can occur on the back or they can occur on the upper chest.

Zits or acne can be very mild and over self-limiting or it can be serious and severe, affecting the torso and the face. If it's mild and not affecting huge areas, there are creams and ointments and lotions which will take the spots down, flatten them, minimize them and up to a point, these are successful and some can be obtained from your pharmacist and others can be prescribed by your doctor. Now, if the condition is as I say serious and severe, many spots, they're all over the place, they get larger and they look like little small boils and they irritate.

More drastic measures have to be taken and have to be taken very quickly. Let me just say that there is a hormone basis to this condition which some people have and other people don't. And so up to a point, a hormonal type treatment has to be considered particularly in females who are, I was going to say, more conscious of spots in young men, which is probably not true anymore.

But then the contraceptive pill, there have been one or two contraceptive pills designed which have an anti-androgen, that's a hormone against the male hormone and androgen which is responsible for the process that can cause the acne spots and this is combined in some contraceptive pills and is very useful. If these are not successful and these are not working, then, again, you must seek the advice of your doctor who will prescribe tablets or capsules which you can take, which will be very, very effective in managing this condition. If the antibiotics don't work which are called the retinoids, these are very complicated, they're very sophisticated tablets.

They are usually available from the hospital doctor, that's a dermatologist. These are very effective but they do have quite serious side effects which can be prevented and can be monitored. That's how to get rid of zits. .
