Using Birth Control Pills For Hormonal Balancing And Acne Cure

Many things are given to you in life, without your asking,
meaning thereby you have no choice over it. Some of them are
major things and some are minor. For example, you have no choice
of your place of birth and the family tree in which you are
born. The arrival of acne is also somewhat like that. It comes
without your approval, without your knowledge.

The exact causes of acne are still not known. Scientists are
just groping in the dark with a torch! Various findings have
resulted in the flooding of markets with many, many over the
counter medications.

The possible causes of acne include changes brought in the body
due to puberty, excess oil production in body and some hormonal
changes. Well, hormonal imbalance is very much linked to acne.
Those who believe hormonal balancing is necessary to cure acne
take birth control pills to treat acne.

Physiological changes, clogging of hair follicles and bacterial
infection could also be the causes of acne. Attack of acne does
the two fold damage to your skin and to your psyche. You suffer
more, if you are personality conscious. While beating the
retreat also, acne will not let you go unpunished, it leaves
behind the scars. Your acne, therefore, needs immediate
treatment.

Acne in women can be tackled by birth control pills, because
the pills control the hormonal surges. These surges occur before
the menstrual cycle. But don't self-start this treatment. Only
your dermatologist may prescribe these pills for you, after the
detailed medical examination.

Birth control pills promise you clear skin, which means they
get you rid of acne. Thorough research on this subject has
prompted FDA to approve Ortho Tri- Cyclen and generic
norgestimate/ ethinyl estradiol (the ingredients in the birth
control pills), for treating acne.

How do these pills work? Androgen is a male hormone that is
responsible for increase in the oil production. It is ever on
the job, but does overtime and increases its production of oil,
prior the beginning of menstruation cycles. Birth control pills
have shown that they help to decrease these excess androgens.

But many side effects are reported, by taking pills for
controlling acne. Taking birth control pills for their
legitimate use itself is thus not free from controversy. Think
over, how one controversy can solve another controversy?
