Pimple is a difficult disease to treat successfully. It’s impossible to know what Pimple remedy is best because we still don’t have a good understanding of the basic cause of Pimple. You would think our knowledge of Pimple has improved a great deal since the 1920s, but that’s how long we have been using our most common treatment, benzoyl peroxide cream and gel.

In reality, most Pimple remedies, whether they are over the counter or by prescription, are not very good unless you have mild Pimple. What about a treatment based on a holistic Pimple remedy? Generations of doctors and pharmaceutical companies have attempted to discredit the obvious link between what you eat and Pimple. The most recent studies have shown that the old way of thinking is no longer defensible. (Source: Berra B, Rizzo AM. Glycemic index, glycemic load, wellness and beauty: the state of the art. Clinics in Dermatology. 2009:27:230-235) The interest in low-glycemic eating that started with the great success of the Atkins diet for weight loss, has uncovered the link between Pimple and food that was common knowledge within the world of holistic medicine but ignored (like the Atkins diet) by doctors everywhere. Before the Atkins diet was proven, Atkins was ridiculed. Is change coming for Pimple medicine?

The great discovery is that what we eat (especially high-glycemic foods) have been shown to interfere with how our bodies react to androgen hormones, and it is androgen hormones that determine whether or not we have pimples. A good diet may, in fact, be the secret Pimple remedy that we have been looking for.

Is there a conventional Pimple remedy that will work for you?

Antibiotics, Topical and Oral.
Overuse of antibiotics to treat a range of conditions has led to the huge problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Dermatologists no longer routinely prescribe antibiotics because of this. In fact, the P.Pimples bacteria that infects pimples is now often found to be immune to antibiotics such as erythromycin. To live healthily, we need “good” bacteria in our bodies but antibiotics eradicate all bacteria indiscriminately. Antibiotics are not a great Pimple solution because they can’t affect androgen hormones which are the real cause of Pimple. Don’t waste your time with antibiotics because in my experience, they aren’t very useful and are a pain to use.

Benzoyl Peroxide Creams and Gels
This Pimple remedy is actually quite good if you have only mild Pimple but is not effective if you have a serious Pimple problem. If you have mild Pimple, you should try a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel or cream which you can buy without a prescription from your local drug store. You do not need, and should not use more powerful concentrations (including prescription strength) because studies prove that they are no more effective than 2.5%, but they are more lucrative for dermatologists and drug companies while being harder on your skin. You can increase the effectiveness by wiping your skin first with a salicylic acid pad. You should apply the product thinly over the Pimple prone areas, not only on your existing pimples, and you must continue to use it or else your pimples will return. Still, I think, benzoyl peroxide is a useful Pimple remedy if you suffer from a mild Pimple problem.

Hormonal Pimple Treatments
If you are a woman, you might find relief with an estrogen-containing birth control pill like Yasmin, or alternatively, a hormonal medication like spironolactone. Much like the holistic programs, these methods will directly affect the androgen hormone imbalance that causes Pimple. Talk to your dermatologist to find out if a hormone treatment is appropriate for you.

Accutane: Serious Medicine
This is one of the best-known powerful Pimple medications. The serious side effects associated with Accutane make it a treatment of last resort, even though it is sometimes effective. Potential side effects include thinning hair, bleeding gums, liver damage, pain, depression and birth defects. The fact that Accutane does not work overnight is another thing to remember. You will want to hibernate for the six months to a year it takes to work because your face will be much worse during that time. Your face and lips will be extremely dry and sensitive. This product was recently taken off of the American market because of the serious side effects. Do I endorse Accutane? It is problematic to recommend a pill that has such potentially dangerous side effects. I think that someone who is considering Accutane should first try a holistic dietary Pimple remedy if they want to clear Pimple. There is really nothing to lose.

Holistic, Natural Pimple Remedies
With the latest research suggesting a strong link between the food we eat and Pimple, the time to try a holistic Pimple program based on diet has arrived. These programs have cured many people of their Pimple problems without drugs or doctor’s bills. These programs are very inexpensive and worth a try especially if you are thinking of going on Accutane. A natural Pimple program will work more quickly than Accutane, and because they are guaranteed to work (or your money back), it is a good idea to at least test them out before committing to a powerful drug.

The one side effect of an Pimple diet is great health. With the latest evidence starting to support the effectiveness of treating pimples through what we eat, Pimple sufferers who start a holistic pimple program may find that they have a lot in common with the early devotees of the Atkin’s diet who, in spite of the ridicule from the so-called “experts,” lost an awful lot of weight! Proof is in the results. One day, they might be saying “I told you so.”
