Embarrassing skin problems affect people of all ages, races, socioeconomic statuses and genders, at some point during their lifetime.
It is not life-threatening, but most people experiencing severe blemish problems will agree that it significantly alters their lives and self-esteem. It can leave unsightly scars on the surface of the skin. Unfortunately, general knowledge concerning the causes of blemished skin is scarce.
In my blog we focus more on, how we can improve. Imperfections are a part of each one’s life and they can be surely treated.
Blemishes or pigmentation caused either due to acne scars or sun-tan etc can be reduced with an effective home remedy. Past November, I suffered from dengue and post treatment , my face wascovered with visible black spots due to heat-boils/ acne. My face appeared more like a “chess – board”. This seems a joke now, because the marks have faded and so have the emotional scars on me. But back then, it was an emotional pressure.
