The scientific name for the condition is Pimples vulgaris because Pimples usually strikes in plainly visible locations such as the face, neck, chest and back. There are various types of Pimples that range in annoyance, severity, and healing time. The most severe type of Pimples may even lead scars that if not treated properly, may be visible for a lifetime. If you or a loved one is troubled by severe Pimples, here's what you need to know about Pimples scars and what you need to do to avoid and care for them.

How Does Pimples Form?

Contact with an oily substance such as mineral oil, vegetable oil, or petroleum is a potential cause of Pimples, as is the use of certain medication and steroids. However, Pimples is most often cause by the secretion of androgens. Pimples is also aggravated by milk or dairy products, red meat and fast food. Androgens are sex hormones that are initially secreted at the onset of puberty. They are male hormones but they are secreted by females as well. Androgens stimulate the production of oil from the skin's oil glands. Pimples occurs when these overactive oil glands become blocked, causing the oil to build up in the gland and swell. A bacteria called Propionibacterium Pimples normally colonizes this swollen gland causing the development of inflammation and pus. In particularly severe cases, the glands may burst into the skin and produce cysts.

Types Of Pimples

Pimples blemishes are categorized into four grades, ranging from mild to very severe.

Grade I: Mild Pimples falls into this category. People with grade I Pimples generally have blackheads and whiteheads but pimples are not present.

Grade II: The condition is considered moderate Pimples when blackheads, whiteheads, and small pimples are present, but they are confined to the face and the inflammation they cause is minimal.

Grade III: Severe Pimples includes blackheads, whiteheads, and deeper pimples with more pronounced swelling.

Grade IV: Pimples is considered very severe when it occurs on the face, neck, shoulders, chest, and back. Pustules and deeper cysts occur with very severe Pimples and scarring may result if the condition is not cared for properly.

The most important rule for Pimples sufferers to remember is that you should never pick or squeeze Pimples blemishes. This can lead to the spread of Pimples and the development of Pimples scars. Instead, there are a number of herbal, homeopathic, and traditional formulas that can be used to treat Pimples and prevent the development of Pimples scars. Herbs work naturally with the body to reduce Pimples blemishes and prevent the development of Pimples scars. Echinacea and poke root are often used for their anti-inflammatory properties and red clover may be beneficial for its estrogenic action.

Relieving Pimples Scars

Acupuncture: Stagnant of Chi in the channels of the face is said to be the cause of Pimples. Acupuncture performed on these points of the face may help relieve Pimples, and prevent the development of Pimples scars.

Surgery: In moderate to severe cases of Pimples, doctors may use surgery to open up the blemishes and remove blackheads and whiteheads. Unlike medication treatments, the effects of Pimples surgery are usually more immediate. And surgery is also effective in reducing the development and visibility of Pimples scars.

Cleaning the intestinal Tract: Pimples can be a by-product of a filthy intestinal tract and colon. In most cases when the colon is clean the Pimples will go away. I recommend the intestinal cleanser Oxy-Powder.
