Question 1

is it okay to use lime instead of lemons for acne please help?

Accepted Answer

Get a real Rx: Please forgive my frankness. This is the 21st century. All acne is treatable by today's science. Folk cures are at best adjuncts, at worst impediments to getting you help with a chronic disease that is a serious personal and professional liability. If topical benzoyl peroxide fails after 2 weeks, please get with a scientific physician for topical or systemic rx.

Question 2

does lemon oil cause acne?

Accepted Answer

Acne: Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.These factors can trigger or aggravate an existing case of acne, hormones, medications, and a diet with a lot of dairy and carbohydrate-rich foods.You can also prevent new acne breakouts with self-care measures by washing your skin with a gentle cleanser and avoiding touching or picking acne.

Question 3

does honey & cinnamon powder cures acne marks & pimples?

Accepted Answer

No: This is an adjunct only, and i suspect it is just one more cruel internet prank. If topical benzoyl peroxide 5% 2x/day hasn't cleared you in two weeks, get with your physician for prescription-strength medication. Especially if you acne is producing scarring, you owe it to yourself to get treated by an evidence-based physician without delay.

Question 4

hello. please can i use a mixture of cinnamon and honey to treat my acne? is it really effective?

Accepted Answer

Not studied: I don't think there are any studies on this mixture and its beneficial effects on acne. Your best course is to consult a dermatologist for evaluation and effective treatment to minimise acne breakouts and scarring.

Question 5

hi, recently my acne has gone so bad like it's all over my face i've tried using lemon it didn't work what can i do ?

Accepted Answer

Various: Check with your doctor that you have straight forward acne not associated with any other diseases. Acne is often treated with benzoyl peroxide without and sometimes compounded with an antibiotic. Taking antibiotics by mouth may also help. A female who wants to try vitamin A cream needs to be on birth control because of concerns it may affect the baby.  Talk to your doctor about your options.

Question 6

how effective are lemons for treating acne?

Accepted Answer

No: Acne is a serious, chronic, non-lifestyle-related, non-hygiene-related disease that often has a devastating and lasting impact on the lives of young people. Even if benzoyl peroxide fails, all acne can be managed effectively by a physician. If you are responsible for the physical and emotional health of a young people, please don't waste time with "household remedies.".

Question 7

how long does it take to cure acne by scrubing lemon?

Accepted Answer

Won't work: I'm sorry somebody told you this. This is a serious chronic disease that is often a grave personal and professional problem. These "pop" remedies are at best adjuncts. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your physician. You owe this to yourself. Best wishes.
