Acne Ka Ilaj — Pimples, Daane aur Skin Treatment Pakistan

Acne Kya Hai aur Kyun Hota Hai?

Acne tab hota hai jab aap ke skin pores band ho jate hain — oil (sebum), dead skin cells, aur bacteria (P. acnes) mil kar inflammation karte hain. Pakistan mein garmi, pasina, smog aur high-sugar diet acne ko barhate hain.

Acne Ki Types

• Whiteheads: Choti safed daane, bandh pores
• Blackheads: Khulay pores mein oil oxidize ho ke kale
• Papules: Laal sukh daane, chubhne wale
• Pustules: Pus wale daane (peep)
• Cystic acne: Bare, deep, painful — scarring ka khatra
• Hormonal acne: Jaw line aur thori pe, periods se related

Acne Ki Wajuhat

• Hormones — teenage, periods, PCOS, pregnancy
• Genetics — family history
• Diet — dairy, sugar, white bread, fast food
• Stress — cortisol oil production barhata
• Skincare products — comedogenic creams, makeup
• Pollution aur smog — Lahore/Karachi mein major issue
• Sweat aur garmi
• Mobile phone aur takiye ka cover — bacteria
• Steroids — illegally used "skin whitening" creams

Acne Ka Ghareloo Ilaj (Halki Cases Mein)

1. Tea Tree Oil

5% tea tree oil benzoyl peroxide jitna effective hai. Direct na lagayein — carrier oil (jojoba) ke saath mix karein, spot pe lagayein.

2. Honey aur Cinnamon Mask
