I, the undersigned, would like to urge the British Skin Association to research for more wholesome acne treatments to aid those who suffer from severe acne issues.
Why is this important?
According to a recent press release dated July 2016 by the British Association of Dermatologists, acne patients in the UK are being over-exposed to oral antibiotics. Studies have found that the reliance on oral antibiotics can be detrimental to patients’ health through the debut of a new type of antibiotic-resistant acne as well as a possible host of other bacterias. Obviously, there needs to be a more wholesome approach to treating acne rather than sending patients home with large doses of antibiotics.
Moreover, existing acne treatments as Accutane (Isotretinoin) and all generic brands have been known to cause a plethora of unwanted side effects. Worse case scenarios saw patients suffering from Crohn’s Disease, depression, birth defects and in several cases, this drug was also known to have driven some patients to suicide.
With all these reasons stacked up, I call for the British Skin Association and all relevant parties to look into this matter, and place higher priority towards providing a more wholesome form of acne treatment.
The undersigned,
Carry Stone
