Acne, which is very common in youth, is caused due to hormone imbalance in the body. An abnormal reaction on the skin is caused by hormone called testosterone. Testosterone reacts on the glands called sebaceous that produce sebum a type of oil. The tubes that hold hair get blocked due to this oil leading to blackheads or acne. You can try some of the following home remedies to treat simple acne:
- One should never squeeze the red heads. When we pressurize them they go deeper in the skin making the problem severe.
- If there is a yellowish custard tip, it can be squeezed but before doing that wash your hands properly. Using your thumb and finger you can squeeze it but place a tissue on your finger so that the content does not split on the mirror. Don’t use the nails as they can produce a scratch on the skin. The spot may begin bleeding so apply some antiseptic on it.
- Wash your face five to six times a day. It will keep the skin dry up to some extent.
- Avoid eating fried or oily food such as French fries or potato wafers.
Simple acne can be treated at home with taking little care but if the problem is worsening then take the help of some medical practitioner.
