Did you know that scientists have proven that snail's secretion contains powerful antimicrobial properties which act against bacteria of different kinds commonly found in human skin infections? This biological antibiotic effect controls the pathogens present on the surface of the skin and in the skin pores and works like a wall between damaged skin surfaces and the environment.

Pathogens like bacteria and viruses invade the body through cracks in your skin, or when they find a rich environment in which they can develop like blocked and broken sebaceous glands inside the hair follicles (acne infections). As they obtain access to the blood stream they induce an increased defensive system response. This activity interrupts the repair and healing process of skin that has been damaged, and interferes with the normal lay down of your dermal cells. Additionally, we see signs erythema (redness) around the damaged site, as well as some superficial edema (swelling) and a stimulated synthesis and accumulation of collagen.

The human defensive reaction is a two-pronged attack. Innate immunity recognizes infectious agents by their pattern or structure, and mounts a broad, quick reaction. Phagocytic cells (like neutrophils and macrophages) and natural killer cells are released to combat the infection. A second form of defensive reaction, adaptive (or acquired) immunity, takes several days to gear up its more specific attack. Adaptive immunity remembers previous contact with a specific microbe and directs its reaction against that specific invader with antibodies and T-cells. Because many infections spread quickly, a fully functioning innate response is vital to the health of an infected individual.

Which Is Best, Natural Or Man Made Acne Antibiotics?

Pharmaceutical antibiotics are frequently used to reduce the number of bacteria but they often cause bacterial resistance.

Many people with acne skin are prescribed antibiotics, which may help destroy the bacteria that grows inside the follicles, but they also destroy the beneficial bacteria that help support the activity of your intestines. If your intestines are not working effectively, there will be an accumulation of toxins in the digestive system which can can make acne worse The body also builds up a tolerance to antibiotics. This means you require larger and larger doses to get the same effect.

Antibiotics

If natural methods of treatment do not succeed after a six-month trial, then a course of oral (systemic) antibiotics may be needed. A short course of 5-7 days is safest. Be aware that antibiotics may cause undesired side effects, especially if applied over an extended period of time. It is possible that antibiotics can exacerbate acne symptoms, or replace a primary infection with a secondary acne infection. Antibiotics may also induce yeast overgrowth symptoms, irritated stomach, allergies, more susceptibility to solar-damage, yellowing of teeth, decrease in absorption of some vitamins and minerals, and more bacterial resistance.
