Killing the acne bacteria using antibiotics is a fruitless and destructive approach. Taking antibiotic is destructive because it upsets the natural balance of the P.acne in our body, eradicates the good probiotic bacteria and enables the intrusion of harmful bacteria to skin. Taking antibiotics is fruitless because constant intake of antibiotics will eventually cause the p.acne to become resistant to antibiotics. It is a fruitless approach also because it doesn’t stop the environment that caused the P.acne to multiply.

The only way to stop acne permanently is to neutralize the acne environment (when the bacteria multiplies and feeds on blood toxins and excessive production of oil). To stop acne, you must balance oil secretion and discharge your body from accumulated toxins and control the nutritional, hormonal, psychological and environmental triggers.

Do you recommend extracting comedones? i have all kinds of impacted pores and skin care products do little. i have seen a dermatologist for many years and he has always extracted them. it seems easy enough, do you recommend i do it myself?

I’m curious, if this is a major factor in aggregation of comedone material, why there is not an enzyme solution targeting this process as a solution to acne issues.

Disallowing the primary steps in comedone formation is surely better than post-formation solutions such as exfoliation (which typically does not reach deep enough) and antibiotics.

There are no studies showing that taking echinacea can help acne. If you have tried over the counter acne treatments and your acne persists, then make an appointment with your dermatologist. There are plenty of oral and topical treatments that do have good studies to support their efficacy.

Hang in there, acne can be tough to beat, but we always win in the end.

Dr. Benabio, I just found your blog. This is an interesting post, for me, because I’ve struggled with skin problems, since I was 16, and now I’m 22.
Would you recommend taking echinacea for acne?
