A Guide to Healthy Skin: How to Avoid Pimples and Acne?

I am sure you all know what acne is and most of us have encountered it numerous times in our life. For those who have never struggled with acne (which is nearly impossible), Acne is basically a skin disease in which pimples, whiteheads, nodules, and blackheads appear on the skin. Most people battle acne as they hit puberty. However, it can affect an individual at any age. Face, back, chest and shoulders are the most commonly affected regions. Normally, the doctors treat the problem with over the counter medications. However, there are times when acne is an indicator of an underlying health issue. In such a case you can access health care services at your doorstep using ‘The Healers’ App or you can visit a doctor yourself.

Main Causes behind Acne
