Description

How Does Lymecycline Work?

Lymecycline is an excellent choice for people who experience acne in other body areas apart from the face. Since it is taken orally, it treats bacteria in the body, preventing pimples and spots all over. The skin produces sebum through the sebaceous glands. Bacteria feed on sebum, causing a build-up of waste and fatty acids that block pores. This causes the scarring inflammation that causes acne.  Lymecycline contains tetracycline antibiotics. It works by inhibiting a protein that causes bacteria to grow and reproduce. The bacteria die, relieving skin of inflammation and infections.
