Acne Problems

By Gail Jones

Acne is one of the commonest skin problems afflicting the human race and it it can be present in all people irrespective of age, caste, colour or gender. Acne is an extremely embarrassing and burdensome problem, because it is so obvious and off-putting. Acne can be described as red eruptions on the skin, sometimes filled with a white puss, causing discomfort and irritation. The most common type of acne is called acne vulgaris or puberty spots.

Acne vulgaris can be defined as: an inflammatory disease of the skin, caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland) . Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples, spots or zits - [source: Wikipedia]. It is a problem over which we do not have complete control. There are different ways to treat acne; one can go for medication from a skin specialist or one can also try home or natural remedies.

Natural remedies are less time consuming, less costly and have no side effects. However, they do require a little more patience, because the routines have to be followed diligently in order to get rid of the problem once and for all. A natural cure for acne is just as effective as medication. Here are a few natural remedies to cure your acne. To start with, your daily consumption of water should be at minimum of eight to ten glasses. This helps you to detoxify your system and destroy the harmful bacteria that cause acne.

An over-balance of oily food also leads to acne, therefore fried, oily and spicy food should be religiously avoided. A near complete abstinence of fried and fatty food will have a marked, beneficial effect on any acne outbreak. Furthermore, if you eat more chromium and zinc in your diet, it will help to eradicate acne. There needs to be the correct balance of diet and skin care.

A solution of grated nutmeg with unboiled milk regularly daubed on the afflicted area also helps to eradicate acne. Cinnamon powder mixed with honey is just as efficacious in treating. The cooled liquid from boiled Neem leaves applied to acne works as a disinfectant. [The Neem Tree is a tall, usually evergreen East Indian tree (Azadirachta indica) widely cultivated in tropical Asia for its timber, resin, bitter bark, and aromatic seed oil, which is used medicinally and as an insecticide (source: 'Free Online Dictionary')].

The infected area should be cleansed with anti-acne soap at least three or four times a day. Make-up should be strictly avoided when suffering from acne. Make-up makes acne worse. Acne must never be squeezed as it may cause infection or / and make it spread. Squeezing your acne can also lead to permanent marks on your skin, which leaves your skin looking unsightly. Don't let your hair touch the acne-affected area too.

Hair should be kept tied back to prevent touching the acne. Pillow covers should be washed on a daily basis to avoid the germ spreading. The regular cleansing of your skin should be observed to keep it free from germs. Apart from this, a healthy lifestyle should be followed with a proper balance of food, exercise and sleep. Remember if you take proper care of yourself, ailments will have trouble afflicting you, especially such a small thing as acne! - 17268
