Hi! 

I am Dr. Sandesh Gupta, your skin specialist. Aaj hum ek bohot hi common condition ke bare mein discuss karenge jo ki acne aur pimples hoti hai. Acne aur pimples bohot common conditions hota hai. Ye 15-20 years ke beech mein male ya female dono mein payi jati hai. Aaj hum discuss karenge ki acne kya hota hai, acne kyu hota hai, kya hum kar sakte hai acne ke liye apne aap self mein, kis doctor ke pass hame jana chahiye, prevention kya hona chahiye acne ka aur uski diet ke bare mein aur agar acne hamari pehle past mein hue hai to unke liye hame kya uske scars ya marks aa chuke hai unko hatane ke liye hame kya karna chahiye? To sabse pehle hum baat karte hai acne kya hota hai. Acne hamara ek hair follicle, ek sebaceous gland hoti hai uska ek infection hota hai. Jab bhi sebaceous follicle mein sebum ka content excessive ho jata hai to uske andar infection aa jata hai; tab hamare acne bante hai. To bohot sare factors hote hai jo iske sebum ke infection baddha sakte hai ya sebum ke production badha sakte hai to unn sab cheezo ko hum aaj discuss karenge. 

Acne kayi tarah ke ho sakte hai jaise papules, blackheads, whiteheads, pustular acne, nodulocystic acne aur shroud acne. Bohot sari dawaiyon ke side effect ke roop mein bhi acne aa sakte hai, bohot sari creams aisi hoti hai jo cosmetic use mein use karte hai unse bhi uske side effect mein bhi acne aa sakte hai. To hame inn sab cheezo ka khayal rakhna hai. Ek to ye ki hum acne mein kya kya nahi karein. To acne me hame face ko bar bar touch nahi karna chahiye, apne balon ko face ke upar pade nahi rehne dena chahiye, acne ko pinch nahi karna chahiye aur thoda sa jaise diet mein agar hum change kar sakte hai, to usme diet mein change karna chahiye kyunki acne ke liye kuch factors hote hai jisko hum agglutinin factors kehte hai jaise stress: physical ya mental stress, food: food mein bohot sari cheezein jaise junk food ho gaya, oily food ho gaya aur jo hum bahar ki cheez khate hai jaise chocolates ho gayi ya jo hamare friends gym mein use karte hai kisi prakar ka bhi protein ya steroids agar hum lete hai to usse bhi acne aane ke chances rehte hai. 

To iske prevention mein sabse pehle hame dekhna hai ki apni diet ko proper karna hai, jo water intake hamara zada hona chahiye, leafy vegetable zada leni chahiye hame, fruits ka use karna chahiye, salads use karna chahiye aur face ke bare mein hum dekhein to face ko touch na karein, balon ko na girne de, pinch na karein usko, make-up excessive na lagein, zada der ke liye na lagaein aur rat ko sone se pehle hum face ko wash karke soyein. Kisi bhi prakar ka steroid jo hum gora hone ke liye ya acne ko kam karne ke liye lagate hai ye bohot harmful hote hai. Market mein bohot sari tarah ki steroids hote hai jaise clobetasone, beclomethasone, betamethasone, mometasone, hydrocortisone kyunki hame koi bhi steroid apni face ke upar nahi lagana chahiye, yeh bohot harmful hote hain. Ab baat aati hai ki hame agar acne aa gaye hai to kis doctor ke pass jana chahiye. To koi bhi qualified doctor jo ki acne treat karne mein saksham hai hum uske pass ja sakte hai aur acne ke liye hame ek particular time ke liye say for 3-4 months ke liye hame particular isme treatment lena chahiye aur isme repeated cycles mein treatment hota hai jaise aap ko 15, 15 days mein ya 20, 20 days mein doctor bulaenge aur aap ko vaha par jana hai. 

Kuch vo cream denge, kuch tablet denge khane ke liye to in sab cheezo ko hame regular use mein karenge ki 3-4 months ke interval mein acne chale jate hai, us particular time ke jo infection aa chuka hai us time ke liye. Bad mein acne kabhi bhi aa sakte hai. Theek. Ab jo scar ya marks hamare face pe aa chuke hai unke liye hame kya karna hai. Acne marks ko hatane ke liye hum microdermabrasion, chemical peels ka sahara le sakte hain ya bohot sare marks hamari self hi resolve ho jate hai. Aur kuch aise marks hote hai jo deep marks hote hai ya scar jinko bolte hai ye hamare ate hai jaise past mein kabhi acne hame hue ho to uski vajah se acne ate hai. To agar vo vale scar hame aa chuke hai to uske liye hame laser ka sahara lena padta hai, jo acne scars ke liye ek matra laser hota hai fractional CO2 laser. To isme hame 8-10 bar sitting leni hoti hai aur 8-10 sitting ke baad hum 1-1 month ke interval pe leni hoti hai. Iske baad hamare sare scar chale jate hai. To dosto ye batein thi sabhi scar ke bare mein aur acne ke bare mein. Iske bad bhi aap ki koi query hoti hai to aap mujhko lybrate ke dawara contact kar sakte hai ya mera clinic Delhi mein hai aap kabhi bhi aake contact kar sakte hain. 

Thank you and all the best!

Acne And Pimple

Managing Acne

Do you know that dandruff causes acne?

Acne is a skin condition that happens when pores get clogged with dead skin cells and oil, giving rise to pimples. It can be caused by numerous reasons like hormonal changes, improper diet, stress, consumption of specific drugs, excessive use of cosmetic products etc. In addition to these factors, acne can be caused by dandruff too, which may not be known to most of you. It has been observed that people who suffer from dandruff problems are more prone to getting pimples.

How does dandruff cause acne?

Dandruff has been associated with presence of yeast or fungi, it is also associated with abnormal skin ultrastructure. Dandruff makes the skin on your scalp flaky. These dry flakes of skin are often responsible for clogging the pores on your face, mostly affecting your forehead. In this way, dandruff triggers appearance of acne and can worsen the condition of your skin if you already have pimples. Though acne is more common among teenagers, acne due to dandruff is mostly experienced by people above the age of 20.

How can you prevent acne due to dandruff?

Eradicating dandruff from your scalp is the best way to prevent acne breakouts on your skin due to dandruff. Here are some simple ways to keep acne due to dandruff away from your skin.

1. Ensure that your hair stays off your face

Keeping hair off your face will ensure that dandruff doesn't come in contact with your skin and clog pores, preventing pimples. For this, you can use hair bands or tie your hair in a ponytail or braid.

2. Brush your hair at least twice a day

Brushing your hair at least two times a day will ensure that the dead cells on your scalp are removed and don't get a chance to clog pores. This option is highly beneficial in getting rid of acne caused by dandruff.

3. Use medicated anti-dandruff shampoo

Topical medicated solutions like a medicated shampoo should be used as a treatment. Short contact period of shampoo with scalp is important for more benefit. Good conditioner should also be used after head wash with shampoo.

Do You Know that Dandruff Causes ACNE?

Treating Dandruff

Ayurveda offers a unique and holistic approach in treating acne. It is an Indian healing system, which aims at treating pimples and acne by managing its underlying causes. Toxicity build-up and impaired digestion are targeted according to the doshas identified in an individual by an Ayurvedic practitioner. 

According to Ayurveda, the whole of the cosmos is made of 5 elements namely water, fire, air, earth and space. Doshas are aggregations of these elements and affect our well-being. If access to an Ayurvedic practitioner isn t feasible, then try cutting down on junk food as they contain additives and preservatives. Eat foods which don t have more than 4 ingredients.

Raw and unprocessed food is the best for digestion. Replace artificial skin care products with natural ones. Change your sheets and pillows regularly as they may have trace residues of acne causing organisms. Insecticides and disinfectants should be substituted for their natural counterparts, such as neem based cleaning agents.

Here are some Ayurvedic natural substances which work wonders for treating your acne:

Tulsi: An amazing way to get rid of pimples is tulsi (basil) paste when used by you on a daily basis. If access to fresh basil is difficult, then get a jar of dried basil from your neighborhood departmental store and use it with warm water. Use about 3 teaspoons so that a smooth paste can be formed and apply it on your face for over 10 minutes up to 5 times a week.
Lemon and Honey: A mix of lemon juice and honey is a simple, but effective homemade beauty remedy for the treatment of acne. Mix 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Apply the mix on the pimples and on the spots caused by the pimples. However, do not apply on severe pimple outburst as it can cause a severe and intense burning sensation. Keep it on your face for about 10 minutes and then wash it off. You can continue doing this 7 times in a week. You will eventually find very satisfactory results.
Cinnamon: Try dry roasting dalchini or cinnamon. Grind it finely and then make a creamy paste by adding honey to it. Apply this paste for a minimum of 5 times a week. Let its goodness soak into your skin and watch the benefits of the paste work its miracle!
Neem: Neem leaves (Indian Lilac) are the perfect natural way of treating pimples. Turn it into a paste and apply it on the areas affected with pimples. If getting fresh neem isn t feasible, try procuring some dried and bottled leaves instead and soak for about 15 minutes in hot water and use the same as a paste.
Sesame: Turn sesame seeds into a paste by soaking them overnight. Then turn into a paste. You can also use powder, which is readily available. Keep the paste on for 15 minutes and wait for the magic to work.
Potato: Potato juice or grated potato can be applied directly onto your pimples. Let the sticky potato juice sit on your face for over 10 minutes before washing it off. It lends a mild and natural bleaching glow to your skin. The same technique can be also tried with tomato juice.
Mint: Soak a few mint leaves and turn it into a fresh paste , it will act as an astringent.  Mint is also effective in making acne marks fade away if used regularly.

Acne - 7 Home Remedies for Treating it

Improving Skin Health

Did you know that milk can cause acne?

Including cheese, milk, and ice-cream etc into your daily meals maybe the reason behind the painful acne on your face. Processed milk and other dairy products negatively affect your skin and trigger the formation of whiteheads, blackheads and pimples. 

Here s how milk causes acne and what you can do to get clearer skin.

How does milk cause acne?

1. Milk contains a growth hormone IGF-1 (responsible for the growth and strength of calves) in large amounts. This has an adverse effect on your skin, and is responsible for its inflammation, which results in acne. In fact, this hormone can even increase the size of the acne.
2. Consumption of milk and other dairy products also result in a sharp rise in the amount of insulin present in your body, which initiates more IGF-1 production by the liver, thereby increasing acne.
3. Excessive sebum (oil) is secreted by your skin due to the consumption of milk, which results in more number of clogged pores, causing an acne breakout. Additionally, an increase in sebum helps the acne bacteria to grow and breed, which further causes skin inflammation.
4. Consumption of milk can render your skin unable to get rid of dead skin cells, causing more acne due to clogged pores. This happens as milk sticks dead cells together inside your pores, interfering with their natural process of falling off.

What can you do to get acne-free skin?

The best way to get acne-free skin is by trying to limit your consumption of milk and dairy products. You can do so in two ways:

1. Discontinue Milk Intake: Stop consuming milk and its products completely for at least 30 days and observe the changes. If your skin improves after 30 days, you can add small amounts of high-quality dairy, like organic yoghurt, to your diet. If eliminating milk does not show any positive effects, try observing other triggers of acne and look for appropriate methods of removing them. 

2. Switch to Organic Milk Products Only - If you find it difficult to totally cut off milk from your diet, try reducing the amount of milk intake and totally avoid processed milk products. Switching to raw, grass-fed dairy products will also be beneficial.

What are the alternatives to milk which can be consumed without harming your skin?

You can also replace milk with the following products in your diet chart to prevent the occurrence of acne.

1. Organic almond milk without added sugar
2. Organic coconut milk containing no artificial sweeteners
3. Natural coconut cream

Warning: Do not consume soy milk as a milk substitute as it contains omega-6 fats, which cause skin inflammation and swelling of acne.

3 Highly Effective Bedtime Skin Regimen to Prevent Acne and Wrinkles

300 Calories is the average calorific value of our daily sugar intake. It's no wonder then that dietician and weight loss gurus across the world will advise you to quit added sugar as the first step of a weight loss program. Added sugar refers to processed sugar in the form of cubes, sugar crystals or powdered sugar and does not include natural sugars found in fruits, vegetables etc. Apart from cakes and sweets, we eat added sugar in a number of ways including a number of packaged foods like sauce and salad dressings.
If you consume a lot of sugar on a daily basis, quitting added sugar could leave you with withdrawal symptoms. Quitting added sugar is not easy, but here are a few reasons it is well worth the effort.
1. You'll have fewer pimples
Sugar has inflammatory properties. This can trigger systemic inflammation leading to the acne. Thus quitting sugar can instantly reduce the number of pimples on your face and give you clearer skin.
2. It improves the health of your heart
Added sugar can raise insulin levels. This activates the sympathetic nervous system and increases blood pressure and heart rate. Stopping your consumption of added sugar can lower cholesterol levels and decrease the amount of triglycerides in the body. This lowers blood pressure and boosts cardiovascular health.
3. A friendly weight scale
Replacing toffees with dry fruits will considerably reduce your calorific intake. Similarly switching packaged salad dressing for fresh homemade dressing can also make your salad healthier. Given that we eat added sugar in so many forms, making a conscious decision to quit added sugar can have a big impact on your daily calorie intake. Studies show that this simple step can lead to a weight loss of up to 10 pounds in six months.

Added sugar can hinder learning and memory. Over time, it can also damage communication between brain cells. Quitting sugar can boost both your short term as well as long term memory. You will also find it easier to focus on will be able to be attentive to something for longer periods of time.
5. A good night's sleep
You don't just need 8 hours of sleep a day; you need 8 hours of restful sleep at the right time. Sugar makes blood sugar fluctuate and the crash that follows a sugar high can make you feel sluggish around mid-day. Many people find that if they have an afternoon nap, it becomes more difficult for them to fall asleep at night. Sugar also releases cortisol that interferes with sleep. Thus quitting added sugar can keep you alert through the day and help you fall asleep easier at the end of the day.
