Solution to dull and damged skin?

Question

I used to have very oily skin and pimples. I am 23 and it's been 6-7 years since I am having this. I used to squeeze my pimples and now they have resulted in ugly scars and pits. The pimples have subsided but the oil secretion around nose, below lips and forehead hasn't stopped. The skin is prone to black heads and a lot of white heads. If I pressed around sides of my nose, a lot of oil in form of white paste come out. Also on forehead and cheeks there are small boils containing white paste(oil & no blood) in them.
I have tried consulting dermatologists who have given me ointments to control oil secretion. These ointments have made my skin dry superficially and have cause flaking, dullness, leathery look and redness but hasnt stopped oil secretion beneath.
For the pits I have been trying micro dermabrasion but I cant see any results.
Any solution(ayurvedic) to the pits/scars and better skin?
Also any suggestions to good clinics in hyderabad to cater this problem ?

Answer 2

Hi there,
Try these things:
1) When you get up in the morning do Pranayam. Here what you do is sit on the bed and keep one nostril closed with your finger and breath deep with the other nostril 5 times than repeat 5 times the same with the other. Then breath in deep with both your nostrils 5 times.
2) Then after brushing start your day by drinking hot water and add some pure honey.
3) In your breakfast have some fresh fruits /juice.
4) In your bath use a scrub for delicate skin. Don't scrub more than once in 2 or 3 days. Also swith completely to a herbal soap eg Chandrika or Neem soap (for me chandrika works wonders)
5) Drink lots and lots of water during the day it cleanses your system.
6) Your lunch and dinner should definitely have some veggies and raw salad.
7) Never try and touch your pimples or squeeze them instead once in 2 weeks have a good clean up from a good skin clinic.
8) Apply face pack from what you say you have oily skin so you multani mati.
9) I had similar problem and before sleeping I you to apply Erytop cream on my scars, which happened to be on my entire face so I use to evenly apply the cream on my entire face in the night and let it dry a little and then sleep. Don’t expect miracles to happen over night. But I can assure you that this cream works. It takes its time for me it took 2 months but it worked.
10) Other than that you can follow our other friend’s advice too. So I guess putting all to work you skin should definitely start showing some improvement in some time.

All I say is what ever you do, do it religiously and don’t stop once you start. Continue till you achieve your desired results and even after that.

Go girl.....

7) Wash and dab acne with cotton balls that have been soaked in vinegar. Let dry; do not wash off immediately.
8) Place strawberries leaves over your acne and the alkalinity will help to reduce the swelling.
