Hit up your dermatologist for an acne cure and you’ll be told that there is no such thing as a cure for acne. The best your dermatologist can do is control the disorder. With drugs. Dermatologists treat your skin; not you.

Now controlling acne; that’s different! Here the dermatologist has a whole bag of tricks, in the form of expensive drugs, to control, not cure, acne Life is good for the dermatologist. The patient never dies. The patient is never cured. What could be better than that?

Your family doctor isn’t likely to do much better. The pharmaceutical companies provide very generous incentives to doctors who prescribe their drugs. Doctors depend on the drug sales representatives for the latest treatment options available, which of course are always in the form of drugs. You’re very unlikely to get any kind of permanent cure for acne out of your family doctor. You’ll generally get the same song that the dermatologist sings. “While we can control acne, we cannot cure it.”

Acne is an enormously productive profit center for the pharmaceutical industry. They are well aware that acne can never be cured by the application of topical preparations or the ingestion of drugs. They like it that way. They want to keep it that way. Creating dependency on their products is the pharmaceutical industry’s ultimate objective.

What this means is; you cannot get an acne cure from your dermatologist and your family doctor is unlikely to be very helpful either. So it would seem that it is impossible to get a permanent cure for acne. » Read more: Acne Cure? Self Education – Your Best Shot At Cure For Acne
