Unhealthy skin can be scarring - both physically and mentally, especially for teenagers. Our bodies undergo hormonal changes at puberty. Your skin may get oily, and pimples or acne may increase. Using face wash, creams, and gels only provides temporary resolution. Could this be because you haven't got to the root of your pimple problem yet?

Cause of Pimples or Acne:

The causes of pimples or acne may vary from person to person. Hormonal fluctuation can lead to acne.

Students have peer pressure for their academic performance. Stress can trigger breakouts, or your existing acne can become worse.

Your diet can also impact your skin. Teenagers usually consume junk food which can trigger acne formation.

When to Visit a doctor?

Why embrace acne when there are solutions? It would be best if you visit a doctor when:

  • You have tried OTC acne treatments for more than three months with little or no improvement.
  • Have your pimples gotten severe and inflammatory.

Your acne is nodular and cystic. These kinds of acne cause severe scars and hyperpigmentation.

Treatments for Acne:

The medications commonly used to treat acne are antibiotics, steroids, birth control pills, Isotretinoin. Other cosmetic treatments used to treat acne are micro derma abrasions, chemical peels, drainage, and extraction. These acne treatments do not always offer permanent results. These acne medications also have side effects. Your skin can get dry, itchy, and red. Usage of antibiotics can cause stomach upset, and birth control pills can cause high blood pressure, at times.

Homeopathic Treatment for Acne:

At a very young age, it is not safe to seek a conventional mode of treatment. The practical method of acne treatment is homeopathy. Homeopathic treatment for pimples comes with zero side-effects as the remedies consist of natural ingredients. Homeopathy treats the underlying causes of acne.
