Acne, commonly known as
pimples or zits, affects teenagers, adolescents and even adults. Scarring and post inflammatory hyper pigmentation are the most important complications of acne.
Teenagers and young adults are more prone to getting acne due to the natural
hormonal changes that take place at that age. Factors like heredity,
stress,
dandruff, abuse of cosmetics and
smoking can trigger acne.
DOES & DONTS
1. Wash face 2-3 times daily.
2. Use a gentle, water-soluble cleanser and tepid water. 3. Avoid over moisturizing the skin.
4. Wash makeup brushes and sponges frequently to minimize dirt and bacteria. 5. Athletic activities and exposure to greasy environments, such as fast-food establishments, contribute to acne.
6. Drink plenty of water to flush out impurities.
7. Using too many medicated products may dry out skin.
8. Keep hands and hair away from face.
Acne should not be suppressed by topical applications because the outward eruption that we see is a reflection of the internal disorder of the body.
Homeopathy offers natural, effective remedies to treat acne. The main goal of the treatment is to control new lesions from forming, heal existing lesions, minimize the psychological embarrassment and stress and prevent scarring.
