Excision & Punch Graft:

Deep pitted scars can be excised and punch grafted. Acne, commonly known as 'Pimples' is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous unit (hair follicle and oil producing glands). It is one of the commonest conditions affecting the teenage population. Usually they subside spontaneously within a few years, but a small percentage of them continue to have them even in their early thirties. Acne is due to various reasons. There is increased stickiness of the cells that line the opening of the hair follicle due to which the sebum which is normally secreted out through this route, gets blocked, resulting in the 'blackhead'. There is also an increased amount of the bacteria 'Propioni bacteria acnes' which normally resides there in small numbers. There is also increased sebum production due to the hormonal variation that takes place at the time of puberty. Acne can either be non-inflammatory (just blackheads) or they can progress to larger lesions filled with pus, which ultimately scar. Topical medications in the form of lotions, gels etc. is sufficient for small non inflammatory ones, but once pus filled lesions are present, oral antibiotics are necessary, in addition to the topical medications.

The body generally increases heat during those days and the pimples are the result.

Try to eat foods that can cool down your body and that will help. Cooling down the body does not mean to eat icecream. Icecream actually increases the heat of the body.

If you are comfortable with eating cooked bitter gourd, then you must eat it during those days. Drink, a lot of water and if possible, coconut water/tender coconut water.

Apply Sandal Paste to the pimples if they sprout out. mix a bit of sandal powder in rose water and apply it around the pimple. This will ensure the pimple matures and ripens faster and gets sorted without leaving a mark.

Eat cucumbers during the week.Drink Rose based drinks, avoid tea/coffee. Eat fresh vegetables.

The eruption of pimples is very common during menstual cycles due to the hormonal changes that occur.However,this can be prevented by washing the face regularly and using antibacterial wash and cleansing the face thoroughly.The moisturiser that you choose should not make u oily and must be appropriate to your skin type.Try using Aloe extract preferably whole leaf extract,or aloe juice too..u can also try cocoa butter cream moisturiser with VITAMIN E as this can reduce the black spots.
