Given that acne is by far the most common disease in the world
I’m constantly surprised at the amount of misinformation there is about acne treatments. There are so many commonly held believes regarding treatments
which have no scientific or medical validity
but continue to be passed on from individual to individual. More worrying is the possible consequences of trying some of these options. Here are list of common acne treatments that categorically do not work:

1.Household cleaning products
even when diluted
should not be used to treat acne. There can be severe adverse reactions including chemical burns from pursuing this route

2.Similarly cleaning powders are ineffective for acne

3.Washing up liquid does not work for acne

4.Home facial saunas will do nothing for your acne
but will certainly aggravate
already sensitive skin

5.Sticky tape left on the skin overnight and removed in the morning will certainly remove dead skin cells and excess oil
but is likely to damage the sensitive skin
and may cause an allergy to the glue

6.Prolonged exposure to the sun or using a sun bed will not help your acne
and can be dangerous if you are also taking oral medication of certain types. For example taking certain antibiotics in tablet form
will make your skin highly sensitive to sun light

7.Sudocrem is an excellent treatment for nappy rash
but highly ineffective for acne
primarily because it contains a mixture of greases and oils which are bad for acne

8.Taking high doses of vitamin A or B will not directly help your acne
and may cause other side-effects

9.Squeezing your spots is universally not recommended in combating acne. Doing so will prolong and spread the acne to other parts of the affected area

There are many other ‘not recommended’ acne treatment regimes
many of which will worsen an already difficult condition. Avoid these shortcuts and stick with a programme overseen by your medical professional
or one which is based on solid scientific and medical evidence. If you do this
you'll succeed in overcoming your acne condition.
