Apply the topical medicine directly onto the whiteheds and any other affected area of the skin.

It might take 8 weeks or more before you will notice any difference in your skin. Most treatments would several weeks or even months before you can see any noticeable change.





Common OTC acne medicines used to treat acne include benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, resorcinol and sulfur. Each of this works differently and has different effects on the acne.





Benzoyl peroxide is useful for a mild case of comedones. It can also help to prevent formation of more whiteheads.





The effects of benzoyl peroxide are:








Antibacterial 鈥?Destroys and inhibits the growth of acne bacteria


Decreases the chemical reaction that cause changes to the lining of the hair follicle. This may help reduce the plugging that causes comedones.





Resorcinol and sulfur help to break down comedones like whiteheads and blackheads.





In addition to breaking down whiteheads and blackheads, salicylic acid also helps to reduce the shedding of cells lining the follicles of the sebaceous glands.





Topical OTC acne medicines come in various forms. It could be in the form of a gel, a lotion, a cream, a soap or pads.


Tretinoin (Retin-A, Avita, Renova) is the chief ingredient used in treatment of whiteheads and blackheads. Tretinoin is a derivative of vitamin A.





The effects of tretinoin are:











Increases skin cell renewal


Reduces the %26quot;stickiness%26quot; of the sloughed cells


Causes expulsion of plugged material


Converts closed comedones into open comedones. The material in these newly converted open comedones can be easily extruded.





Extraction may be used by a health care provider on open comedones or blackheads. This process is performed using a device called a comedone extractor. This is a small, metal, circular instrument that is centered on the comedone and pushes down the surrounding skin, causing the plug to extrude.|||Yep. You gotta go to a dermatologist. Instead of wasting a bunch of money on over-the-counter meds, use that money to see a doctor who knows what he%26#039;s doing.
