What is Acne and How Does it Occurs?
Acne occurs when pores on the skin become clogged due to dirt, debris and bacteria. Skin produces sebum naturally which maintains the elasticity of the skin. Sometimes when there is excessive production of oil, it tends to attract dirt and clogs the pores. Acne is mostly associated with teenagers but can occur in people at any age. There are various contributing factors to acne formation, hormonal imbalances, unhealthy food and lifestyle choices, stress and menstrual cycle being a few. The condition itself is minor, but if not treated promptly, can cause scarring.
How Homeopathy Helps?
Homeopathy has proven effective in the treatment of acne as it treats the root cause and promotes healthy skin. There are primarily two types of acne, non-inflammatory and inflammatory acne. Whiteheads and blackheads are the non-inflammatory variety while papules, pustules, nodules and cysts are the inflammatory kind.
Homeopathy offers long term cures for prevention of acne formation, by targeting the root causes or triggers that cause it. It treats the causes for hormonal fluctuations and also helps reduce acute symptoms of acne-like pain, inflammation and swelling.
