Acne Types

I wish I had a way to talk to every teen acne sufferer. Probably then no one would be suffering on that count any longer. Acne would be wiped out from the face of this earth as well. Am I exaggerating? Read further and find out for yourself.

As a school-kid, I had never dreamt in my worst dreams that I would suffer from acne like my seniors did. But then this did happen to me. My skin was no longer smooth with zits and pimples breaking out every second day. When I couldn’t bear to see myself in the mirror, how could I let my friends see me like this? I had tried 2-3 pimple creams but that did not help at all. In fact it was getting worse.

Then my mother suggested I try yogurt. She said it was one of the easiest and most effective of the home remedies for treating acne. So for a few weeks I diligently applied yogurt on my face every night before going to sleep. Then I washed my face with water the next morning. I did nothing more nothing less. The effect was simply a healthy, glowing, and pimple-free skin. Dramatic, no because it was not instantaneous you see.

Starting from simply a tightening of the skin feeling, it was a long and patient road to acne banishment. But once my skin cleared I stopped applying yogurt on a daily basis. As the growth of new acne slowed down, I also slowed down the treatment applying only as and when required. I wish every acne sufferer the same progress that I experienced myself. But I also know what works for one may not be as effective on others. The need is to find the right product for your skin. Until then keep trying, acne free skin is yours, you see.

Acne free skin is a natural gift to some people. But others who are not plain lucky may acquire an acne free skin, the so-called luck with a little effort of their own. I can understand some people thinking of me as if I am talking nuts. I know this is a persistent problem that is not easily curable, and tends to leave behind a greater problem, that of scars.

But if you take it easy, believe me, you have won half the battle. The rest is part effort, part nature and part technology. Acne is persistent, but so are the solutions. Solutions from different fields are well-researched, well-tried, and time-tested. One needs to take a closer look at the symptoms and the available solutions. Acne help is there in various forms: natural remedies are good as preventive measures and for milder forms of acne. But one needs to be patient and persistent.

If the problem is very serious it is always better to consult a dermatologist. Instead of going about blindly trying one medicine or the other, let the doctor decide what course of action is best. Again do use your prudence in consulting a really professional doctor. Also make sure you are not becoming a victim of commercialization as well. Everything in this materialistic world is a victim of commercialization and so one needs to be really careful.

Some other treatments besides antibiotics and oral medications, are chemical peeling, laser therapy, and acne facials. Another thing to be watchful about is the side effects of some treatments.
