Hello friends,

I am Dr. A K Singh and I have taken a degree from Pondicherry and US. I want to tell you about the acne problem because these days acne is the major problem in our society causes more depression to the patient. First I want to tell you how acne causes? Acne is basically the bacterial infection and inflammation of the sebaceous gland which is a medical condition. These people don’t know and they think that acne is coming due to the aging changes or in early 18’s or in teenage. But it is not like that. If we will take treatment of acne before the disease getting burst. So this is the acne right and you should take treatment.

One thing I want to tell you what are the myths about acne? People were having in mind a lot of myths like acne caused by some oily food or some specific food products but there is no still research in this field that acne causes more. If you stop having oily food it will also cause acne. So diet has very little role in acne. If you have treatment properly then it will not produce any scar or pigmentation like blackness on the skin right? So you have to take proper treatment. Treatment includes for acne like antibiotics, if it is some inflammatory acne present on the face and back and chest, then you have to take antibiotics. Some other antioxidant also. It takes around 2 to 3 months. If you not take then it will produce more scars. There are a lot of myths about acne in people like it will cause like slug. I want to tell you about home remedies. Like home remedies are little bit helps but not much.

You can take more vitamin c and you should take good diet regarding like healthy diet. More Antioxidant, green vegetables will help you to reduce the skin complexion. Other’s will also ask you about the mis realities. So there are very little realities. Lot of people asking about what is the treatment duration and how it will produce more effect? It needs time. So if you want to go to dermatologist, you should go and take proper treatment from the dermatologist. Don’t skip the treatment and don’t do the experiment on your face like people will tell your friends, your colleague, they will tell you to apply this cream, that cream but these all are medicine, even cream also.

So you should not use any creams or tablets beyond the prescribed limit of dermatologist right. So it is very important. Otherwise, what happens you will get more scar, more pigmentation. Then you have to treat this scar treatment and pigmentation also. Face wash is very must. You should choose a good face wash which is exfoliating like salicylic acid and glycolic acid. If you exfoliate your skin it will produce less acne. So it’s a wonderful treatment and doesn’t use other things like people will use some face wash which is irritating, which is available in the market. He will ask to come you in and directly take the face wash. And sun’s cream is also must. Some people also have some redness after going out between 9 to 4. So sunrays having ultraviolet A,B,C rays. It damages your skin and sebaceous gland and face. So you should take, should apply proper sunscreen on your face while going out between 9 to 4.

Thanks!
