Acne Vulgaris : Acne vulgaris, or acne, is a skin problem that starts when oil and dead skin cells clog up your pores. Some people call it blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or zits. When you have just a few red spots, or pimples, you have a mild form of acne. Severe acne can mean hundreds of pimples that can cover the face, neck, chest, and back. Or, it can be bigger, solid, red lumps that are painful (cysts). To help control acne, keep your skin clean. Avoid skin products that clog your pores. Look for products that say “noncomedogenic” on the label. Wash your skin once or twice a day with a gentle soap or acne wash. Try not to scrub or pick at your pimples. This can make them worse and can cause scars.
Ayurvedic treatment : Acne can be controlled or even cured with Ayurvedic herbal medicines, which are given orally. You may continue face applications prescribed by your skin consultant, which suit you and are helpful. Results depend upon the severity of the condition. Long-term treatment, usually about 6 – 12 months , gives good , long-lasting results.
