1BChapter 2—The Truth About Acne 32 Did you know that in 1995 the FDA issued a warning regarding the use of benzoyl peroxide and changed its status from safe to uncertain? By using benzoyl peroxide, you are not eliminating your acne; you are only killing the bacteria. Once you stop using it, acne will return with a vengeance. As you will see later, you have acne for a reason. Acne is a message from your body you should not ignore. Acne is like someone constantly knocking on your door. He won’t go away if you put in earplugs or pump up the music volume. Only if you open the door and confront this guy will you have a chance to make him go away. Note About The Acne Bacteria While many skin diseases are contagious, acne is not one of them. The acne bacterium is not contagious, and it is not the cause of your acne. The acne bacteria will encourage acne formation only if there is an excessive production of sebum oil from your skin (caused by deeper factors as you will see later). These bacteria are essential for keeping the skin flexible. Completely destroying these bacteria can damage the skin's natural flexibility and make you look older. Acne bacteria exist in everyone, whether you are an acne sufferer or not. If you put all your efforts toward killing acne bacteria, you will win only in the short term. 2. The Daily Intake Of Vitamin A Derivatives (Such As Accutane In The USA And Roaccutane In Europe) For A Period Of A Few Months This is known to effectively treat over 80% of acne patients as it dramatically reduces the production of oil from the glands. However, the treatment requires the patient to take medical tests and examinations due to severe known side effects of the drug. Accutane is a poison that (almost) completely eliminates the production of se bum by the oil glands. Again, the production of sebum oil is only the symptom, not the cause of acne. It is a fact that it takes several months for Accutane to become effective. Your acne will get worse initially, and in most cases it will come back as soon as you stop taking Accutane. 2003 - 201 2 A c ne N o M or e- M ik e W a l d en - Page 32
