I always prefer letting my own body take care of minor ailments and try my hardest to avoid any type of medications. Some antibiotics tend to kill the "good" bacteria in your body too, which causes your immune system to become very sensitive and easily upset. A lot of those acne creams just confuse your skin and prevent it from doing what it should be doing naturally.

Anything with added hormones will cause all kinds of turmoil in your body, especially considering that you are young and full of hormones already. Hormone levels in found most chicken and red meat are ridiculous too - go organic when you can and I bet you'll see a difference. Think about it this way: when a girl goes on the pill, she almost ALWAYS immediately gains weight, gets acne and gets depressed or moody, due to the sudden unnatural overload of hormones.
