An '''acnecel''' is someone for whom [[acne]] has been one of the contributing factors leading to their [[inceldom]]. 
==Coping and solutions==

===Antibiotics===
It has been argued that antibiotics as acne treatment (oral or topical) are not effective as before because bacteria playing a role in causing acne have evolved and developed antibiotic-resistance<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30154336/</ref>. Still, antimicrobit substances may still work against acne bacteria. In case of chronic or subcutenious infections it's advised to take oral drags like isotretinoin for long-term solution of the problem.

==== Isotretinoin ====
Acnecels often use Accutane (Isotretinoin) and other medications to [[cope]] with their acne. Among its many side effects, Accutane may acutely suppress levels of IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor),<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20128787/</ref> a peptide that mediates much of the effects of human growth hormone (HGH) on metabolism and somatic growth, and the drug has been proven to stunt growth in some patients whose growth plates have not yet closed.<ref>https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2002/18662s051lbl.pdf</ref>

The other side effects of Accutane include suicide, but this is often attributed to dissatisfaction with physical appearance. 

===Diet===
Meeting the daily requirement of omega 3 fatty acid has been shown to decrease acne in multiple studies<ref>https://www.pijlstaartrogolie.eu/wp-content/uploads/acne-onderzoek-2017.pdf</ref>. Modern diets provide an irregular ratio of omega3 - omega6 and omega9 fatty acids and this inproper habit leads to chronical infiammation in one's skin. Intaking a spoon of cod liver oil and avoid high omega6 foods such as peanuts helps in correcting the omega3 ratio.

===Bad habits===
Smoking is correlated with higher risk of nn-inflammatory acne<ref>https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/derm.1.3.9638</ref>

===AHA/BHA treatment===
