Pimples are a very common condition and are known to affect individuals in the age group between the early teens to the mid twenties. However, some individuals may be affected by a chronic condition that can affect them for a large part of their lives. Although pimples are not really considered to be of any major medical concern, they can cause significant destruction to the individual’s aesthetic appearance.


Because of today’s highly polluted environment, it is not uncommon for a small solid particle to lodge itself in a skin pore and cause a blockage. The sebaceous oils, produced by the sebaceous glands in the lower layers of the skin, will then start to accumulate behind this blockage, causing the inflammation. If there is some bacteria present on the particle causing the blockage, the trapped oils may become infected. With the fact that it is a human tendency to want to scratch the pimple, when we do this, the infected oils contained within the inflammation are allowed to spread over a larger area and cause an outbreak of acne.

Due to the fact that pimples are such a common problem, there are a number of home remedies used all over the world that are known to be very effective. For example, you could combine some amount of cinnamon powder with a little honey and mix it together to create a paste. Just before retiring for the night, apply the paste to the affected areas of the face and wash it off in the morning with the help of some warm water. Following this treatment for the duration of a couple of weeks will almost completely take care of the pimples. Potatoes are also known to be a very good option and grating a few of them and applying it over the affected area will not only help cure any pimples, but also help with any boils, blackheads or whiteheads present on the skin as well. Another option would be to mix equal amounts of fresh lime juice with groundnut oil and leave the mixture on the face for a period of about 10 to 15 minutes before washing it off with the help of warm water. This too is known to show up some very good results. Applying a paste created only from orange peels over the pimples is another very effective way of treating the inflammations while juice extracted from raw papaya (including the seeds and skin) can be used to equal effect.
