Acne is a skin condition, common in teenagers, in which the skin becomes greasy; pores in the skin are blocked resulting in blackheads, and appearing of pimples or cysts on the skin. While acne may strike infants, it is not that serious in them as in teens.
Causes Of Acne

The main cause of acne is the sex hormone testosterone (present both in men and women) that causes the sebaceous glands (those present at the roots of the hair) to release an excessive quantity of oil. This excess oil is clogged in the pores of the skin and bacteria starts growing in the oil. A fatty substance results by bacterial growth, which causes irritation of the skin. As the condition get worse, you get blackheads, red bumps, pus-filled spots or cysts. People who are extra sensitive to testosterone suffer more severely from acne. Getting an effective acne remedy is thus recommended as soon as the condition appears.

Getting Remedies For Acne

One working acne remedy is to leave it alone. Do not tear or pick out blackheads. Do not pick or squeeze the pimples since it can make the condition worse and bring scars. Clean the affected area gently and regularly. Do not scrub frequently. You need no get special soaps and shampoos.

Another remedy for acne is an anti-acne preparation that contains salicylic acid. It also works to unblock the pores on skin.
Some creams/gels contain synthetic vitamin A, which has the quality of drying and peeling the skin. While this is a good remedy for acne, it may be very irritating. Hence, a small amount should be spread thinly on the affected area once daily. Sometimes this treatment makes the acne worse temporarily but then gets better after a few weeks. In case of pregnancy, this treatment is not recommended.

Azelaic acid lotion or gel is another remedy for acne. It is applied twice daily. In case it causes irritation of your skin, reduce its use to once daily. In case of pregnancy, consult your physician before using this formula.

Antibiotic lotions are effective against infection when you have affected spots filled with pus. These lotions do not treat blackheads or whiteheads. They are applied once or twice daily to the acne-affected areas. Their effect is usually very drying.
