How to cure severe acne and home remedy acne treatments

Pimples on the face is a common thing amongst teenagers, and can be quite embarrsing if it's quite severe. I used to suffer from a severe case of the skin disease acne, and I know what it feels like to get made fun of because of it, it's not nice at all. I tried all the popular over-the-counter acne products, some of them helped a little, some actually made it worse. It was at the point of trying all these popular product I turned to natural home-made treatments for pimples.
Once you have decided to set up a skin care routine, you have to choose the right products for your skin condition. Not all acne sufferers have oily or combination skin. There are people who have acne and sensitive skin and they should use products that are tailored for that skin type.
Acne develops as a result of blockages in follicles. Hyperkeratinization and formation of a plug of keratin and sebum (a microcomedo) is the earliest change. Enlargement of sebaceous glands and an increase in sebum production occur with increased androgen (DHEA-S) production at adrenarche. The microcomedo may enlarge to form an open comedo (blackhead) or closed comedo (whitehead). Increased sebum production provides an environment for the overgrowth of Propionibacterium acnes. Bacterial overgrowth of Propionibacterium acnes can cause inflammation, leading to inflammatory lesions (papules, pustules, or nodules) in the dermis around the microcomedo or comedo, which may result in scarring.
