There are a multitude of treatment options for fighting acne. Finding the right one all depends on which one is geared for the type of acne your are dealing with and your body chemistry. Lets explore history and treatments.
Acne isn’t new. In fact, before recorded history there was acne. The pharaohs of Egypt reportedly suffered from acne. As I stated in an earilier post the word acne itself comes from the Ancient Greek. I am certain there were home remedies of all types back then but we don’t have any actual records until the 1800’s when sulphur was used in the belief that is was an effective drying agent. It wasn’t until the 1920’s that Jack Breitbart of the Revlon Co.actually successfully used benzoyl peroxide against acne and brought it into use. In the 1930’s laxatives were used for “diaper rash” type acne. Radiation also came into use as well. Sure glad I missed that era..=) .Finally in the 1950’s antibiotics became available and in the 1960’s rentin A came on the scene. I bet most of you thought retin A was a product of recent years, huh? It was actually included into the ingredients of Accutane in the 1980’s. Laser treatment made it’s debut in the 1990’s and now there is blue/red light therapy in use today. Of course there is spa therapy, electrical therapy, heat therapy and a myriad of over the counter products at your disposal.
