Acne

According to Ayurveda, Acne is believed to be from Pitta dosha aggravation. Before we delve into any home remedy for acne or discuss how to get rid of pimples, here are some of the causes which can cause it.

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the oil-secreting glands in the skin are clogged and become inflamed or infected. Ninety percent of teenagers get acne. Its a catchall term for a variety of symptoms such as pimples, whiteheads , blackheads, blemishes, rashes, inflammations , eczema, psoriasis , discoid lupus erythematosus etc.

Genetics : If your mother or father had acne has a teenager, there is a good chance that you will have it too.
Hormones : Hormones called androgens become active and stimulate oil glands in your skin, increasing oil production. This, in turn, clogs pores , causing pimples and blackheads. Hormonal changes around your period or birth control pills - starting or stopping - can also cause an acne flare-up. At puberty, the oil glands of the skin start producing an oily material called sebum. Sebum lubricates the skin. Sometimes the wall of the oil gland breaks and spills the sebum within the skin which causes redness, swelling, and pus - in other words a pimple. Plugged oil glands may form blackheads and whiteheads. Blackheads are not caused by dirt.

Stress : While stress can't actually cause acne, it will potentially aggravate this or any other skin condition.
