Homeopahic Medicine for Acne
Acne vulgaris is the formation of comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and/or cysts as a result of obstruction and inflammation of pilosebaceous units (hair follicles and their accompanying sebaceous gland). Acne develops on the face and upper trunk. It most often affects adolescents.
Symptoms
Most acne occurs on the face, chest, back, and shoulders. Symptoms can be mild, moderate, or severe.
If you have mild acne, you probably have less than 20 blackheads or whiteheads. Whiteheads are small flesh-colored or whitish blemishes, while blackheads have a dark center. You might also develop pimples, which are round, inflamed whiteheads on the skin.
If you have moderate acne, you’ll have a larger number of blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. 
Severe acne may include widespread blemishes with nodules or cysts, which are larger and more solid than pimples. Nodules and cysts tend to be more painful than pimples.
Causes
Acne vulgaris is caused by a combination of hormones, oil, and bacteria. During puberty, a hormone called androgen increases and the sebaceous glands produce more of the oily substance sebum. Typically, sebum and dead skin cells come up through the hair follicles and out through the pores in the skin. When sebum, skins cells, and bacteria clog the follicles, the sebum can’t escape through the pores, which causes acne.
Diagnosis
Most of the time, you’ll be able to recognize when you have acne. If you’re dealing with acne on a regular basis, though, it's best to make an appointment with a dermatologist. They can check your blemishes and make sure that your condition is acne and not another similar condition, like rosacea.
Once diagnosed, your doctor can help you determine a treatment based on the cause and whether your acne is mild, moderate, or severe.
Prevention
1. Reduce your sun exposure: Although being out in the sun makes sure that you get your daily intake of Vitamin D, it can cause or aggravate acne. If you are using acne treatment or taking medicines, you are more prone to develop painful sunburns. For best results, avoid spending too much time in direct sunlight. If you do, make sure you always wear a sunscreen designed according to your skin type.
2. Silicea: Silicea is a wonder drug from sand. This works on the immune system in such a way that the tendency to get acne with pus formation reduces after some doses of the medicine. The concerned person tends to be sensitive to cold air, breeze and cold water. However, this remedy has known to work wonders. One can safely say that homeopathic treatment for acne is the best treatment for acne.
3. Wash your face gently and no more than twice a day: Washing your face too hard often can cause excess amounts of oil that will lead to formation of acne rather than preventing it. As it is important to keep the skin free from bacteria, you should clean your skin only twice a day. The only exception is when you have been sweating a lot. In such a situation, it is better to wash your face an additional time and gently pat it dry instead of rubbing it.
4. Keep the hair clean: If your hair is greasy, they can transfer oil to your face where it can advance the development of acne. If you want to avoid zits, wash your hair at least once a day to avoid them from being oily.
5. Do not keep touching the face: When you touch your face too frequently, you increase the chances of transferring the bacteria and pores becoming blocked and zits developing. Try to break the habit and apply any facial cream with a very light touch. If you touch your face, make sure you wash your hands first.
6. Avoid high-fat foods, or sweetened foods: Take food rich in vitamins A and E and of zinc. Drink lots of water, include fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet.
7. Various other tips to keep in mind: Avoid anxiety and stress, as it can increase production of cortisol which in turn increases androgen levels, removing the makeup properly before going to bed, using proper protection while driving to protect the face from pollution.
