Acne Best Treatments
Acne is made into a myth. Best treatments of acne are hindered by the pervasive sources of information out there regarding the causes of acne. Persistent myths prevent acne patients from seeking the right treatment.
Available acne treatments range from home remedies and masks, to supplements and prescription drugs. Home remedies are empirical treatments that may not suit all individuals.
Acne patients may lose their money and their hair using very high doses of supplements like vitamin B5, or as the least side effects of using a prescription like Accutane.
In fact, people who suffer acne or those who treat them, both deal with acne the wrong way although it is simpler than that. We all should know that whiteheads and blackheads in the skin are like Cerumen (ear wax) in the ear, which is produced by the sebaceous glands in part.
Acne converts into a disease when we lead the body to deal with it the wrong way. When the fatty bumps are infected, the body deals with them as an aggression that is fought by inflammation, which may lead to scar formation.
Acne is the result of increased fat synthesis (fat again?!!) and the body stores this fat in its assigned locations, that is the oil glands. The body does not react with fat clogs in the skin unless their content is changed to include bacteria or an allergen.
We do not need to lead the body to get a real disease, when we try to win the battle with acne which is not a real disease. The best treatment of acne is to remove the accumulated fat from inside out. It is to give the body the subsidiary tools needed to "digest" this fat and burn it, and this the subject of another article.

Role of Hormones in Acne
Male and female hormones secretion triggers an acne flare. Both types of sex hormones are present in both sexes, their ratio in each sex is completely different from the other, and this is what makes all the differences between male and female.
One of the effects of male sex hormones (androgens) is to induce the sebaceous glands to secrete excessive amounts of oils that clog the skin pores. The relation between acne and androgen effect is not proportional, but the relation with synthesis of steroidal hormones is.
can we imagine that continuous injection of androgens will make an oil well in the skin?. An androgen is what causes hair growth in girls, but we can not make their hairs grow longer by giving them more androgens.
Acne is developed when the body is in the process of activated fat synthesis, to produce regulatory molecules (steroidal hormones), and it increases production and storage of sebum (oil) in the process. It should synthesize sebum anyway, and if there is some extra amounts they can be stored there in the oil glands.
If we can boost fat metabolism, then the body would be capable of burning the extra fat present in the oil glands, and thus clearing whiteheads, blackheads and pimples.
The one molecule that is used to start oxidation of fat (and carbohydrates) in the mitochondria, is Coenzyme A. The body recycles this pivotal molecule to enter intermediary molecules into the tricarboxylic acid (Krebs) cycle in the mitochondria (power house) to produce energy. Coenzyme A is the molecule that starts fat synthesis as well.
The body makes Coenzyme A by combining, Vitamin B5, Cysteine (amino acid) and ATP (a high energy molecule). Normally, the body depends on the diet to obtain Vitamin B5 and Cysteine (or Methionine).
When the body is urged to synthesize increased amounts of steroidal hormones, Coenzyme A formed is shunted into the route of fat synthesis. Were there more Coenzyme A, the body will burn fat deposited in the sebaceous glands.
If we supply the body with supplementary amounts of the precursors of Coenzyme A, it will make more amounts to oxidize and burn fat stored in the oil glands. Consequently, you can take Vitamin B5 (or Pantethine) and Methionine (Cysteine). This is tried with success by many people as you can see here Acne Cure Guarantee

Acne Useful Facts
Memnoch636: Pantothenic Acid + Cystine - Acne Message Board - HealthBoards
I wrote these hubs The B5 New Acne Cure,Acne Cure Guarantee, Coenzyme A Supplement, Acne Laser Treatment Is Not The Perfect Solution about use of precursors of Coenzyme A to cure acne. Browsing the internet for some information about the trend, I found this thread and I found that it contains some crucial information. In PubMed.gov, it is mentioned that an exogenous supply of cysteine was needed to maintain maximal rates of protein and CoA synthesis. Keratin (protein) in hair needs cystine to be maintained healthy, and this could explain the negative effects of high doses of Pantothenic acid on hair.
Thus, Pantothenic acid depletes the body of the amino acid Cysteine, on scietific basis. 1 molecules of Cysteine is needed to form Coenzyme A, and 2 molecules of CYSTEINE are needed to form the amino acid CYSTINE in keratin.
The thread contains also the contents of Brewer's Yeast, it is really a goldmine for acne sufferers. It contains 80 mg of Pantothenic acid, 100 mg of L-Methionine, 95 mg of L-Cystine, and 100 mcg of Biotin.
It is also a rich source of other amino acids, minerals that are needed by the skin like manganese and magnesium, and trace elements like Selenium.
Now I can comfortably recommend that you can cure acne by combining Pantethine or Pantothenic acid with Methionine, and you may take Brewer's yeast supplement.
One final word, you should use these supplements during breakouts until they fade. If you plan to use them for a long period then you should consult your doctor. Long term use of high doses of these supplements may induce side effects, and some of them may be serious.
