Acne/Pimples and Homeopathy
Acne: Introduction
Homeopathic Approach
Acne is a skin disorder in which the sebaceous glands or oil
secreting glands present in the skin of face, chest and back become
over-sensitive to normal levels of androgen. If you are teenager, chances are
pretty good that you have some pimples. Eight out of every ten teens have
acne. Many adults from their 20's to 40's or older can also have acne. Acne
often clears up after several years even without any treatment. But, untreated
acne may leave scars if you wait to outgrow it. There are various types of
acne - Pimples (Blackheads, Whiteheads), Papules, Pustules, Nodules, and
Cysts.
There are many reasons for occurrence of pimples. Teenagers &
young adults are more prone to getting acne due to the normal hormonal changes
that take place at that age. Poor personal hygienic conditions may cause
accumulation of dirt and grease which block skin pores leading to pimples. If
you have dandruff, that can fall on the face and back and become another cause
of pimples.
The following factors may aggravate the conditions: eating
excess of oily food, sweets, chocolates, improper diet & food habits,
cosmetics, overexposure to the sun, smoking, alcohol, drugs, constipation,
insufficient rest, lack of exercise etc...
People with acne are often embarrassed by their appearance which could
lead to lack of self-confidence, anxiety and depression.
