If you do a search for the term foruncular or furuncular we find that it is associated with acne of a specific type. The correct word is actually furuncular which is derived from the word furuncle. Furuncle is a painful nodule in the skin caused by bacteria known as staphylococcus. Furuncles are common, they are also known as hair follicle infections. They may affect the face, neck, armpits, and groin area. They are a chronic problem so acne foruncular natural treatment may be the way to go unless you want to take antibiotics for long periods of time.
There are many side effects when taking these antibiotics, including nausea, increased sensitivity to the sun, dizziness, and changes in skin color may occur. Acne antibiotics can cause vaginal yeast infections in women and may decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. Prolonged treatment with oral acne antibiotics is usually required to achieve control. Oral antibiotics for acne vulgaris treatment are usually prescribed for 4 to 6 months. The most commonly used antibiotics used in the treatment of acne are listed below:
Tetracycline -the first antibiotic usually prescribed for acne must be taken on an empty stomach to be effective, frequently causes stomach pain and upset. Not prescribed for pregnant women or children under 8 years of age due to danger of discoloring developing teeth.
Erythromycin - is commonly used antibiotic for acne. Should be taken with food as it can cause nausea on an empty stomach.
Minocycline - is a tetracycline derivative that is prescribed for cystic acne. Absorption of minocycline is decreased with food so it should be taken on an empty stomach. Minocycline should not be used if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Major side effects of minocycline include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, skin pigmentation changes, and tooth discoloration.
Doxycycline - a treatment for acne for people who do not respond to or cannot tolerate erythromycin or tetracycline. Should be taken with food or it can cause nausea. Increases sensitivity to the sun so a sunscreen should be used.
Clindamycin - is usually prescribed as a topical acne antibiotic. Although applied to the skin, your body may absorb enough clindamycin to cause serious side effects. You may not be able to use this medication if you have enteritis (intestinal inflammation) or ulcerative colitis.
Accutane - is prescribed for moderate to severe acne that has failed treatment with antibiotics. It is a naturally occurring Vitamin A derivative, but it has serious side effects. It is critical for women not to take Accutane while pregnant and not to become pregnant while taking it. It is also thought to worsen depression and suicidal thoughts Accutane "cures" about 80% of those who take it so that they never have to take anything else for acne.
The bacteria that cause furuncular acne are becoming resistant to treatment with certain antibiotics. Different types of antibiotics or stronger ones are needed to kill acne-causing bacteria once they become resistant to existing antibiotics. This is also a problem if you need the antibiotics for life threatening infections when you have taken the antibiotics for a chronic skin problem such as acne.
Some naturists believe that detoxification helps cystic furuncular acne. Detoxification may involve special diets to cleanse the system of toxins by restoring the intestines to functioning normally. Skin peels made form natural ingredients also thought to be helpful in treatment of acne and scarring. Other herbal remedies are thought to help such as black currant seed oil, evening primrose oil, echinacea, calendula, tea tree oil, and goldenseal.
