Retinoids Topical Acne Treatment

Retinoids are a group of medications that normalize the follicle cell lifecycle. There are topical retinoids such as tretinoin (brand name Retin-A), adapalene (brand name Differin) and tazarotene (brand name Tazorac). Like isotretinoin, these medications are similar to vitamin A, but they are topical treatments and generally have much milder side effects. However, they can cause significant irritation of the skin. The retinoids appear to influence the creation and death lifecycle of cells in the follicle lining. This helps prevent the hyper-keratinization of these cells that can create a blockage. Retinol, a form of vitamin A, has similar but milder effects and doctors prescribe because it also contains moisturizers. Doctors have prescribed topical retinoids for over 30 years, but are not available over the counter, so they are not as widely used as other topical treatments. Topical retinoids often cause an initial flare up of acne and facial flushing.

Waist

Waist circumference determines the level of risk the heath of a person is in by measuring his or her waist. Waist measurement does not determine if a person is overweight, but it does indicate if a person has excess fat in the abdomen. This is important because extra fat around the waist may increase health risks even more than fat elsewhere on the body.
Women with a waist measurement of more than 35 inches and men with a waist measurement of more than 40 inches may have an increased risk for diseases related to obesity.
