Acne is an inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles of the skin characterized by pustules. The exact cause is unknown, but contributing factors are heredity, bacteria, sebum production, and androgens (male hormones) produced in increased amounts when a female or male reaches puberty. Other causes may be oral contraceptives, allergies, food sensitivities, stress, environmental toxins overwhelming the organs of elimination, or excess junk food. Imbalances in the endocrine system may also play a role.

Additional Considerations
Have the individual keep the affected area clean. Washing the face with lemon juice three times daily has been recommended. Inform him/her not to pick or scratch blackheads; this may result in scarring. If food allergies are suspected, try an elimination diet to find irritants, and use Energique’s homeopathic Antigens products described in the Homeopathics section of our catalog. Fiber intake should be increased and only whole foods consumed, especially vegetables.
As a detoxification program may also be helpful, see the Detoxification section of this guide.
