http://www.grandmashomeremedies.com/pimples.html
As far as skin conditions go, acne is by far the most common disaster to strike the face and body. When pores and oil glands get clogged, the result is a pimple. Depending on the cause of this highly unwanted blemish, there could be pimples popping up everywhere; no one is safe from their unsightly nature. In a lifetime, we will have all encountered an outbreak or two, and what’s worse is pimples have a real knack for appearing during all the wrong times: prom; weddings; job interviews; school pictures; and first dates…..
WHAT ARE PIMPLES?
When hairs, sebum, and skin cells group together, they may form a plug, which serves as a breeding ground for bacteria. Soon, swelling sets in and as the plug starts to “break down,” the result is an unattractive pimple. There are no age limitations when it comes to pimples. While teenagers and young adults suffer a greater chance of re-occurrence, there are some individuals who never lose their susceptibility. Men and women in their 50s and 60s may still show signs of acne outbreaks [1]…..
While there are many different kinds of pimples, the most common types you may encounter, include:
a) Whiteheads:
Pimples that remain under the surface of the skin.
b) Blackheads:
Pimples that appear on the surface of the skin and have a black appearance. Sometimes, individuals have mistaken their formation as a direct result of dirty skin, but this is not the case.
c) Papules:
Small lumps that are tender to the touch, which are pink in color.
d) Pustules:
These distinct pimples are red at the bottom and contain a visible amount of pus on top.
e) Nodules:
These pimples are rather large and painful, found deep in the skin. They are also solid to the touch.
f) Cysts:
When these deeply seeded pimples appear, scarring may occur. This type of pimple is quite painful and filled with pus.
SYMPTOMS OF PIMPLES
The signs of acne are unmistakable and may appear on the face, neck, shoulders, back, orchest. Whiteheads and blackheads are the most common type of pimples you will encounter. Additional signs or symptoms associated with the pimple include:
a) Pain:
Blemishes on the face can be quite painful because of the pressure associated with clogged pores.
b) Pus:
Pus is a sign associated with an infected pimple. Pustules, nodules, and cysts most commonly bring about this symptom.
c) Scarring:
When pus-filled pimples appear on the body and face, there is a chance that scarring may occur. This outcome is often helped along when an individual doesn’t properly care for their face. Picking at and squeezing infected pimples only increase the chances of suffering scars.

Infected pimples, such as pustules, nodules, and cysts display rather red features.
CAUSES OF PIMPLES

Home Remedies for Acne
If facing the mirror in the morning is becoming an increasingly daunting task because of the dreaded pink dots, whiteheads and blackheads that seem to appear from nowhere on the face, it’s time you did something about your acne. This annoying condition of the adolescent years can follow you into the middle age and beyond! According to the dermatologist, Dr. James E. Fulton, Jr., founder of the Acne Research Institute, California, women can experience flare-up
UNDERSTANDING ACNE
Acne actually consists of a variety of symptoms, such as pimples, whiteheads and blackheads. However, their cause remains common, that is, clogging of the skin pores that result in the eruption of inflamed and non-inflamed lesions. There can be many reasons for getting this condition, the main one being heredity.
Other reasons can be stress, sun exposure, seasonal changes and climate. Certain types of makeup and taking birth control pills can also cause a breakout. Little wonder women remain more vulnerable to this condition, since they’re more prone to stress and usually wear a lot of makeup.
ACNE HOME REMEDY TREATMENT
Although over-the-counter products are available and are quite effective, they’e some awful side effects. However, there are some excellent home remedies for acne that are both safe and effective:
a. Cleanliness:
Cleaning your face by washing it in warm salty water will leave it oil-free without aggravating the acne. Cotton dipped in rose water maybe used for cleaning the skin and to remove the makeup, especially the oil-based one, since it’s responsible for acne outbreaks.
b. Diet:
A healthy diet acts as a natural acne home remedy. So, include fresh fruits and vegetables, at least five servings a day, in your diet.
c. Drinks:
Drinking lots of water generally prevents most skin problems. To find out how much you should drink, divide your body weight in half and drink at the least that many ounces of water a day. Nettle tea is another herbal solution that effectively counters acne.
d. Exercise:
Regular exercise, which may include some form of aerobics, generally helps bring oxygen to your cells and gives you a healthy skin.
e. Ice:
Icing down acne lessens the swelling noticeably. It works best on larger pimples that have not yet formed a head.
f. Topical remedies:
There are plenty of topical remedies, like putting toothpaste on the pimple before going to bed to reduce the swelling; applying paste of fresh ‘fenugreek’ leaves on the face and washing with warm water to prevent acne, pimples, blackheads, and wrinkles; placing strawberry leaves on the acne to reduce the swelling, because of its alkalinity; and applying the paste of orange peel on the affected parts to rid it of acne.
g. Juices:
Lemon juice mixed with rose water not only cures acne and pimples, but also reduces blemishes and scars. Applying fresh mint juice on the face helps rid the skin of acne, pimples, insect stings, eczema, scabies and other skin infections. Aloe vera juice is another excellent home remedy for acne scar removal.
h. Face mask:
Mixing a mask base powder, such as fuller’s earth or kaolin powder with a few drops of essential oils, making it into a paste using distilled or filtered water and using it as a face mask will not only clear acne, but give your skin a smooth and soft texture.
i. Birth control pills:
Certain birth control pills, like Ovral, Loestrin, Norlestrin and Norinyl can aggravate acne. So, consult your physician to switch medication or use another birth control method.
These acne home remedies have worked wonders for many people. However, before you adopt one for your own use, do consult your physician.
