Acne or pimples is a very common skin disorder that most young people get in early puberty. It is caused by inflammation of the small oil glands. Depending on the severity of your acne, your doctor may choose to treat you or refer you to a dermatologist. Acne can be treated with medications that are either applied to the skin or taken by mouth. Here are some tips which can help:- Wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser. Make sure you wash your skin whenever it becomes sweaty. Do not scrub your face. Do not squeeze or pick at the pimples. This makes them worse and may cause scarring. Avoid exposing your skin to too much cold, heat and sunlight. Sunlight may improve your acne for a while, but it won't cure it. Use a water-based moisturiser. Greasy or oily creams and foundations block the pores and may cause pimples. Choose a sensible, varied diet, drink lots of water and exercise regularly. If you feel good, your skin will feel good also. Make your life tension or stress free. Best of Luck! 'n have a nice time. Bye

To get rid of scars you may want to use products that has AHA component in them. AHA are natural acids found in fruits that help in the exfoliation of old skin cells. Or if you want immediate results you may want to go to a good dermatologist to have a chemical or diamond peel or a glycolic peel.

i just want to say that before u use some creams try this homemade recipes 1.) apply a cucumber paste on ur face. wash it off after 20-30 min.with lukewarm water. or 2.) grind nutmeg (jaiphal)with unboiled milk and apply on acne for 1-2 hours. this works as a magic. pimples should disappear without leaving a mark. (try this i hope this can get rid of acne,pimples but if u feel any itcheness than remove it immediately). Acne or pimples may also be caused by hormonal changes at puberty, wrong food habits and improper skin care. Acne can be caused by the use of facial creams or other products containing socetyl stearate, isopropyl isostearate, isopropyl palmitate, isopropyl myristate &sodium chloride. They can cause acne. Don not use oily cosmetics. Use a natural antibacterial,non-oily face wash. :)
