Most of the doctors and dermatologists don’t think acne can be cured because they don’t even know what actually causes acne. They are just aware of its symptoms but don’t have any idea about the factors which causes them and because of this reason they can’t even tell you the exact remedy through acne can be cured. You can take pills or apply creams to reduce acne but you cannot completely cure them.

Acne occurs in two difference phases of life:

• Teenagers suffering from acne: it is quite common when you hear that a teenager is having acne problems. This is the age when our body starts showing outbreak of pimples. There is a particular bacteria named as Propionebacterium acnes which causes pimples in our body. This bacterium is commonly found on skin and is fed by sebum. This bacterium promotes acne problems in our body by inflammation of tissues in our body surrounding it. 80% of teenagers have gone through acne problems in some phase of their life. During this period, most of the teenagers gets inflammatory acne i.e. acne in milder form. However this condition can get worse especially in girls due to hormonal imbalance. In some cases especially in women, they start experiencing their first pimple outbreak only between the ages of 25 to 30.
• Adults suffering from Acne: Many of us think that once the teenage phase is passed we won’t have to face acne problems anymore. This is totally wrong. Because in adults too acne problems are found and it is referred to as Adult Acne. Nowadays in medical terms, acne is referred to something which is caused due to hormonal imbalance. Adult’s acne is mostly found in women because of the hormonal changes in their body during pregnancy and menstrual period. Also when women start or stops consuming the birth control pills, they can get acne problems. Another factor which promotes the growth of acne in our body is being too much emotional in our life. Hormonal changes are expected when you give too much emotional strain on your body.

Though acne may result due to variety of causes, prima facie, they are the skin lesions that are seen on the outer body. So, with the first appearance of acne people think of different creams in order to reduce the eruptions. These creams contain different ingredients, though almost all aim at reducing the oil content of skin and therefore are non-oil based.

Rather, one should choose an acne cream that is water based and not oil based. This helps in keeping your skin dry and smooth. Well, this doesn’t mean that internal medication should not be used. Rather, for the acne not to recur frequently, one has to take care of internal constitutional defects. However, one can use creams after initial patch test themselves. And the internal medication cannot be or should not be used without consulting dermatologist.
