Homeopathic Remedies For Acne and Pimples- The Best Line Of Treatment!

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Acne usually appears on your face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. These areas of skin have the most oil (sebaceous) glands. When your body produces an excess amount of sebum and dead skin cells, the two can build up in the hair follicles. They form a soft plug, creating an environment where bacteria Propionibacterium acnes can thrive. If the clogged pore becomes infected with bacteria, inflammation results. Acne signs and symptoms vary depending on the severity of your condition: 

1. Whiteheads (closed plugged pores) 
2. Blackheads (open plugged pores — the oil turns brown when it is exposed to air)
