Although home remedies lack scientific backing, there are ample examples to quote where people dealing with acne have actually found solace in-home treatments. Studies have concluded that over 77% of people dealing with acne have tried using home remedies to overcome the problem.
However, the cause for acne can be different for different people, not all home remedies would work on everyone. The good thing is that there are limited side effects of home remedies and hence trying them is not a big concern. But, as far as an effective treatment for acne is concerned, it is recommended to reach a credible dermatologist.
Pimple faces are different in nature and the dermatologist can best identify the underlying problem. A good look at the breakout and the dermatologist will be able to diagnose the problem. There are good chances that what you consider pimples, aren’t pimples at all and hence the treatment differs.
Depending upon a range of factors, dermatologists decide the right course of action. These factors are:
- Type of acne
- Appearance of the acne
- Treatments tried
- Occurrence of breakouts
- Age and much more
Because so many factors are assessed, the treatment options offered by dermatologists are more credible than random home remedies.
