If your acne is mild, calamine preparations might give some soothing effect but this is not a specific treatment for acne. It is not advisable to use lemon for curing acne. It can irritate the skin and increase the inflammation. It is important to reduce carbohydrates in your diet. This means to avoid sweets, junk food, fried foods, soft drinks etc. For further guidance, please consult a dermatologist in person or online.
