We all heard of acne before but how about freckles, boils and carbuncles. It is not far away from acne problem and some of us don’t even know it. Freckles, boils and carbuncles are more like skin disorder that are yucky in certain cases.
I will start off with freckles which it is a brown spot on the skin due to the skin being exposed to the sun. Skins are sensitive to ultra violet rays thus freckles appear on it when we are in the sun for a long time without protection. Freckles are categorized as 6f in the skin disorder chart but it is not consider skin disease. However, there is natural remedy to this disorder. Firstly, Grind yellow mustard in milk and apply to the face during the night, wash your face the next morning. Secondly, Mix an equal quantity of turmeric and sesame seeds, grind in water and apply to the face. Lastly, Make a hole in the watermelon rind and put some grain of rice in it. Take the rice out after a week, grind and apply it to the face.
Salicylic acid acne treatments have been around for years. But if you haven’t heard of it, don’t know how it works or know what the precautions are, read on.
Salicylic acid acne treatments are sold over the counter and are safe unless they are used with other chemical acne treatments, which can cause even more skin irritations. It’s common sense but always read the instructions on the bottle and contact a doctor or pharmacist if you have any further questions. It’s good to not mix different chemicals.
This type of natural acid penetrates far into hair follicles and gets rid of your dead skin cells thus helping keep pores clean and clear from spot causing bacteria and dirt. It is also medically proven to reduce the inflammation of newly formed blackheads, blemishes and whiteheads.
You must watch out for the concentration of salicylic acid within your treatment and know what amount is safe for you as too much could cause major irritation and even burning.
It is always best to ask your doctor what treatment that you should try because if you have been diagnosed with Rosacea, this particular treatment can do more damage then good.
