OUTSIDE HELP: ‘TRADITIONAL’ HEALING THERAPIES

External Creams and Salves - Topical Antibiotics (bacteria removers)

Benzoyl Peroxide is available in a lotion [Benoxyl, Oxy 10] or in stronger gel form [Benzagel, Persa-Gel, Desquam-X]. It is usually the first agent prescribed to treat acne and works to defeat surface bacteria and to help exfoliation through oxygenation and drying. It is available over-the-counter from 2.5 through 10 percent and is usually applied twice daily.

Several Japanese studies have found a link between use of benzoyl peroxide and skin tumors in mice exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Although the FDA has not given official regulatory notice, a sun warning has been considered. Side effects include redness and scaling.

Erythromycin[Eryderm, Erygel, Emgel, Erycette, T-Stat] is usually prescribed during pregnancy. Clindamycin [Cleocin T], Sulfacetamide, and Meclocycline [Meclan] are all other topical antibiotics. And a new treatment is Azeleic Acid which works both as an antibiotic and Keratinolytic.

One of the main problems with topical antibiotics is they have difficulty penetrating the skin due to the fact that they do not readily dissolve in lipids (Remember the skin’s oils are made up of lipids). This is unfortunate, because a topical antibiotic is such a good idea. They just can’t get through the sebum plugged follicles to get to the bacteria.
