Acne truth & myth DIY

 As we all know today ACNE/ PIMPLES is a world wide problem for teenage and adults...it let's the moral down, it brings social & psychological affects to a person suffering from it. 

Hello,

I,am Dr. Vivek singh, Dermatologist( skin expert)

Today I will tell you some DIY's that u can easily use to prevent the acne and it's after effects like scarring, hyperpigmentation etc

As acne is a problem related to sebum production ( oil production) of skin..so main thing is to avoid applying oily things ( creams,  lotions) on your skin..and try to maintain skin towards dryness and apply GEL BASE MOISTURIZER. 

Skin should be cleaned with a SOAP containing cetrimide or FACE WASH containing salicylic acid, teatree oil, triclosan, benzoyl peroxide etc.

During acne breakout, I advise all my patients to stop oiling the hairs or if it's needed then to apply the oil 2hrs before bathing and then wash it with a shampoo to remove oil and apply some conditioners. 

Instead of using oil-  serums, conditioners & hair moisturizers can be a good choice..

Gel based sunscreens are must, to avoid damage to skin.

In female patients some aspects relating to PCOD can also be considered, but for that History or derangements in menstural cycle, heavy bleeding, pain in stomach area etc..can be asked..

These were some DIY's to manage acne at an early stage ..for drug therapy always consult a qualified dermatologist

Some pharma people often recommend patients to use steroid based creams ..but beware this should never be practiced as it can pose a damage to skin which will require a very long time to repair
