Acne home remedy
Acne is an inflammatory disorder of the sebaceous (oil) glands, located under the skin. When for some reason glandular activity increases, for example puberty acne may appear, the glands secrete a lot more sebum then normal, if on its way to the surface, the sebum becomes trapped under the skin, the gland breaks, spilling sebum, this irritates the under layers of the skin and some pimple forms. This is how acne begins to affect several body parts, like the face, back, neck or chest.
Oil gets to the surface by traveling up the hair shaft. When the pores become clogged with excess oil and dead cells, the opening narrows; this shuts off oxygen to the pores and encourages bacterial growth, infection and inflammation. Blackheads arise when trapped oil darkens as it oxidizes (although many people mistakenly believe that this darkening of the pore is cause by dirt). When pores are repeatedly clogged, they enlarge and change the skin's texture.
Acne, although common among teenagers, can occur at any time in life, and can be cause by allergies, high sugar, or diets high in fat. In women Acne can be developed from the use of contraceptives which cause hormone changes. Some drugs such as, cortisone, or anti epileptics can cause acne as well. In severe cases, it scars and pits the skin.
TIP:
Some doctors prescribe a contraceptive pill, for girls suffering of acne, this pill contains a hormone called estrogen, the drug suppresses the hormonal actions, and produces some dangerous side effects, nausea; vomiting; headaches; weight gain; liver malfunctions. Home remedies for acne are better
Acne has become the most treated skin condition in the past few years, due to the mental anguish and the impact to the person's self esteem. People suffering of acne often seek help from a dermatologist who almost immediately prescribes antibiotics, which can cause terrible side effects, for example, Clindamycin can cause colitis which in turn causes among others, bloody stools and in some cases can be fatal. The only drug proven to work in 90% of cases is isotretinoin however it can cause severe side effects, such as, noses bleed, dry skin, headaches, joint and muscle pains, the most dangerous are birth defects.
The skin is the largest organ in the body, in charge of several jobs. One of them is to get rid of some toxins and waste through sweating. If the liver and kidneys can't handle the amount of toxins, then the skin takes over and begins discharging the extra waste, this can have an effect on the skin's health, which can cause acne and other disorders.
