B.H.M.S
Acne/Pimples results out of an internal disorder. It is a disorder resulting
from the action of hormones on the skins oil glands (sebaceous glands), which
leads to plugged pores and the outbreak of lesions commonly called pimples or
acne. They usually occur on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. An
important causative factor is an increase in hormones called androgens (male sex
hormones). These increase in both boys and girls during puberty and cause the
sebaceous glands to enlarge and make more sebum (oil). Hormonal changes related
to pregnancy or starting or stopping birth control pills can also cause
acne.
Another factor is heredity or genetics. Researchers believe that the tendency to
develop acne can be inherited from parents. For example, studies have shown that
many school-age boys with acne have a family history of the disorder. Certain
drugs, including androgens and lithium, are known to cause acne.
The following factors also influence the growth of acne: Changing hormone levels
in adolescent girls and adult women two to seven days before their menstrual
period starts; friction caused by leaning on or rubbing the skin pressure from
backpacks, or tight collars; environmental irritants such as pollution and high
humidity; squeezing or picking at blemishes, hard scrubbing of the skin, etc.Dr.Manoj's has been successfully treating
patients suffering with acne for the last several years with the unique
combinations of homeopathic medicines which Dr.Manoj has developed with his past
18 years of experience treating patients.
