Treatment options include topical retinoids, oral antibiotics and Benzoyl Peroxide for teen years. For adults oral contraceptives or hormonal birth control pills and hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) may be helpful for women, combined with systemic or topical treatments, prescription or over-the-counter products and medications. 4. Healthy Skin Regimen

Avoid harsh scrubbing or over-washing, because this can cause possible skin irritation or possible over production of oil to replace what's washed off, clogging pores in process. Use products with gentle exfoliation ingredients and skip products that contain alcohol.

5. Acne Products

Some of more popular products on market that can prevent acne include:

§Benzoyl Peroxide §Proactiv® Solution §Salicylic Acid §Retinoids §Antibiotics §Oral Contraceptives §Anti-Androgens §Isotretinoin (Accutane)

6. Shaving

Shaving is actually an excellent way of exfoliating or removing dead skin to help with prevention and spreading of acne instead of leaving remains to clog pores. And for some light acne cases already in process, shaving can help rid whiteheads and blackheads from face. Do not shave areas taht are sore or infected. Use a shaving cream for sensitive skin.

Shave with a sharp blade. Use gentle swipes instead of heavy pressure and go with flow or "grain." A single-edged blade is better than a twin-blade razor. Electric razors may not shave as close to skin, but they help with prevention of acne and other skin breakouts and flare-ups better.

7. Stress

Stress includes external and internal stressors. External Stressors are those that compromise your skin's ability to heal, like oily make-up and too much sun. Internal stressors like anxiety, fear, low self-esteem, depression and a variety of other internalized emotions, can trigger chemical reactions inside your body that can result in acne flare-ups and other skin irritations.

To combat internal stressors and prevent acne problems, get plenty of rest and sleep. Try to maintain regular hours. Keep a check list of "Things that Calm You" handy for stressful times, like reading a book, resting, listening to music, taking a walk, going out for an ice cream cone, etc.

Make sure to note:

- Where you have pain (same joint both limbs?)

- When you feel pain - with certain activities, in morning, when it rains, etc.

- How long you have had pain

- If pain increases or decreases, comes and goes, etc.

- The type & intensity level of pain - stabbing, dull, cramping, stiffness - and low, mild or high pain

- Note any limitations - can't bend over too far without pain, can't get out of car, etc.

- Share any family history of arthritis

- Tell about any OTC or prescription medications or other treatments you currently take or use.

- Discuss any special diet you are on and exercise programs

So try different options available for arthritis pain relief and prevention.

Give your joints a break as soon as possible from any excess weight they're hauling around, even if it's weight of excess stress.

Lighten up and make pain relief and prevention care part of your normal, everyday routine.
