Clear acne with homeopathy

Acne is a skin condition characterized by red pimples on the skin, typically on the face, back and chest. This skin problem affects 9.4% of the global population. (Source: NCBI) Due to certain causative factors, sebaceous glands start overproducing sebum. This results in obstruction of the duct of these oil glands. Consequently, this sebum gets collected underneath the skin and appears on the skin surface as a skin bump (whitehead). Due to pollution and dirt, the whitehead takes the form of blackheads. This is followed by a bacterial infection in the gland resulting in inflammation and it becomes pus filled pustular acne. In some cases, it might turn hard and is then called nodular acne. In severe acne, it forms a tract inside the skin which is hard and pus filled. It is termed as acne conglobate.
