The skin is subject to various problems - blemishes,
infections and growth due to internal or external causes.
Some of the skin disorders are
Lesion - Change in tissue formation.
Papule - A firm raised lesion
Pustule - Similar to papule but contains puss.
Seborrhea - Excessive secretion of disturbed quantity
of sebum is collected upon the skin in the form of oily
coating. This is known as seborrhea. Some times a burning
sensation is felt
White heads - These are caused by pores getting clogged
with hardened oil. Here the pores are not open. They
therefore show up as tiny white pearly lumps beneath
the surface of the skin. They usually form on oily skin.
Black heads - In this case the pores are open and clogged
sebum is exposed to the air. Oxidation takes place turning
it black in colour.
Acne - This is one of the most common skin disorders
which primarily affects the adolescents as it can be
caused by increase of sex hormones which takes place
during puberty. This imbalance of sex hormones causes
the sebaceous glands to secrete more sebum (Sebum is
a semi-fluid oily substance which lubricates the skin).
The pores of the skin enlarge and get blocked with hardened
sebum. This result in black heads and pimples. Some
of these develop into pustule which rupture and spread
infection. Acne should never be neglected as it causes
extensive scarring. Clinical and professional treatment
is necessary.

Cleaning with medicated soap twice daily
Ozone treatment
Protective or soothing creams (sandal wood based)

Acne Vulgarise
Acne vulgarise is defined as the last and worst stage

Allergies
The cause of all allergies are not determined. Even
herbal or natural products do cause allergic reactions.
Allergies can occur from 4 main causes

Particular food
Finding the particular cause for your allergy and avoiding
it, is the only treatment. If it causes infection medication
