This has been answered in your last Question.





If we offered you a miracle remedy that cure "Acne/Pimples/ Keloids" would you buy it? Certainly you would. You won’t find it in a Pharmacy but at the Grocery Store.





Try the Natural Cures for Acne/Pimples/Keloids.





Acne is perhaps the most common chronic skin disease. It is an inflammatory condition of the sebaceous (that is fat or grease) glands and hair follicles usually found on the face, the neck, chest, and shoulders. Nearly 8/10 young people between the ages of 12 and 24 suffer from some degree of acne. It is closely related to the disturbance in the hormones experienced at puberty.





The majority of patients recover between the ages 20 and 30 years. But it is still common in men over 30 years. In women, it rarely lasts beyond the early 30s and is normally worse before each menstrual period. The disease causes a great deal of embarrassment at an age when people tend to be sensitive about personal appearance.





The skin, covering the entire body, is a marvellous and intricate mechanism. It serves three main purposes; namely, protection of the inner organism, regulation of body temperature, and elimination of cell waste and systemic refuse. The skin is directly connected with and intimately bound up with the working of the whole system. All skin diseases, including acne, are the outcome of malfunctioning of the body as a whole.





Symptoms: Acne is characterized by the presence of comedones or blackheads, pimples, small superficial sebaceous cysts, and scars. There are over half a dozen forms of acne. All of them are concerned with sebaceous glands or the glands connected with hair follicles. The most common form of acne is blackheads. The areas chiefly affected are the forehead, temples, cheeks, and chin, the chest and back. In rare cases, almost the entire body may be covered with black heads with extensive scarring.





Causes: All forms of acne have their origin in wrong feeding habits, such as irregular hours of eating, improper food, excess of starches and sugar, excess of fatty foods. Chronic constipation is another major cause of acne. If the bowels do not move properly, waste matter is not eliminated as quickly as it should be and the bloodstream becomes surcharged with toxic matter. The extra efforts of the skin to eliminate excess waste result in acne and other forms of skin disease. Yet another important cause of acne is a devitalised condition of the skin resulting from unhygienic living habits. Other causes of the disorder are excessive use of tea, coffee, alcohol or tobacco, strenuous studies, masturbation, and sedentary habits which lead to indigestion and general debility.





Treatment: The treatment of acne by the administration of salve or ointment does not serve any purpose. They only suppress the action of the sebaceous glands temporarily. In nature cure, the main emphasis is on diet and certain water applications. To begin with the patient should resort to all-fruit diet for about a week. In this regimen, there should be three meals a day, consisting of fresh juicy fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes, grape-fruit, pineapple and peaches. Citrus fruits, bananas, dried, stewed or tinned fruits should not be taken. Unsweetened lemon or plain water, either hot or cold, should be drunk and nothing else. During this period, warm -water enema should be taken daily to cleanse the bowels and all other measures adopted to eradicate constipation.





After a week of all fruit diet, the patient can gradually adopt a well-balanced diet. Emphasis should be on raw foods, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, sprouted seeds, raw nuts, and whole grain cereals, especially millet and brown rice. Further shorter periods on the all-fruits for three days, or so may be necessary at a monthly interval till the condition of the skin improves. Strict attention to diet is essential for recovery. Starchy, protein and fatty foods, should be restricted. Meats, sugar, strong tea or coffee, condiments, pickles, refined and processed foods should all be avoided, as also soft drinks, candies, ice cream and products made with sugar and white flour.





Two vitamins, namely, niacin and vitamin A have been used successfully to treat acne. The vitamin therapy which may comprise a niacin, 100 mg. three times daily and vitamin A in large doses up to 1,50,000 units per day should not exceed one month. Vitamin E is also vitally important to prevent scarring from acne and in removing old scars.





Another effective remedy in the realm of nutrition that seems to offer new promise of help for acne is zinc. It has shown dramatic results in some cases. Zinc should be taken in therapeutic doses of 50 mg three times a day. After noticeable improvement it can be gradually reduced.





Local Treatment: As regards local treatment, hot fomentation should be applied to open up the pores and squeeze the waste matter. Then rinse with cold water. Sun and air baths by exposing the whole body to sun and air are highly beneficial. The healing packs made of grated cucumber, oatmeal cooked in milk, and cooked, creamed carrots used externally, have been found to be effective. The orange peel is valuable in the treatment of acne. The peel, pounded well with water on a piece of stone, should be applied to the affected areas. The lemon has also proved beneficial in removing pimples and acne. It should be applied regularly.





A teaspoonful of coriander juice, mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder, is another effective home remedy for pimples and blackheads. The mixture should be applied to the face after thoroughly washing it, every night before retiring.





The juice of raw potatoes has also proved very valuable in clearing skin blemishes. This cleansing results from high content of potassium sulphur, phosphorous and chlorine in the potato. These elements are, however, of value only when the potato is raw as in this state they are composed of live organic atoms.





A hot Epsom-salt bath twice a week will be highly beneficial in all cases of acne. This bath is prepared by adding one and a half kg of Epsom salt to 50 litres of water having a temperature of about 100 degrees F. The patient should remain in the bath from 25-35 minutes till he perspires freely. After the bath the patient should cool off gradually.





Hope this helps, Good Luck.


Are keloids more common in certain groups of people?

Are keloids more common in certain groups of people?


Basically what happens differently in the regeneration of epithelial tissue to form either a


keloid or a scar?

Are keloids more common in certain groups of people?
Yes.





In those of African descent and some Northern Europeans, Keloids are more common. In the formation of keloid scar, the scar tissue does not stop once the wound in filled. The scar tissue (fibroblasts) grow up and out of the wound resulting in a raised scar.





Those of Asian descent can also develop abnormal scarring. Fortunately affected Asians more commonly exhibit hypertrophic scarring in which the fibroblast proliferation is not so marked. There is not so much growth out of the wound in hypertrophic scarring and these scars tend to respond more favorably to treatment (as opposed to keloids).
Reply:um yes keloids are more common in dark skinned people not only black people as most people think but even just dark complxionated people Report It

Reply:Negroes
Reply:The darker your skin is it is more likely for you to get it.

Reply:Now I just read this yesterday so I can't promise that it will work, but it sounds like you need help and it's worth a try. Apply apple cider vinegar to the affected area with a cotton ball and repeat as needed. Bless you and I hope this helps even a little.

Do keloids every peel when skin is dry or wet?

I think I may have keloids' on my middle and ring finger, however, I do not know if keloids sometimes peel when skin gets really dry or wet because my growth does. Could someone please help? I sure would appriciate it.

Do keloids every peel when skin is dry or wet?
Yes they do. My husband has some on his chest and back. Do not let your skin dry out and try not to irrate them by having anything touch or rub them. His have actually gone down because he would always scratch them and i would slap his hand and put anti itch cream on them.





There are also creams that reduce keloids that you can use that they sell at the drug store.


Developing keloids...?

So i had my cartilage pierced with a gun at clairs, stupid I know, and from what I have read/heard my chances of developing keloids are very high.





If or when I do develop one what would be the best course of action? Should I take out the piercing, and to the doctor? Or I have heard of crushing up aspirin and putting it on the keloid, and taking vitamin E?





I have started taking vitamin C and a multi-vitamin to spur healing, not sure it that helps. If it does how much vitamin C should I take? Right now I am taking 500 mg.

Developing keloids...?
If you start to develop a scar, remove the earring and go to a derm, they can inject a steroid into the scar and hopefully flatten it out, it may take a few injections but almost always works. The home remedies that you described are old wives tales, try them if you want to but don't be surprised when they don't work.
