Acne Home Remedy Using Coccinia

Conditions Treated: Skin and Hair

Specific Conditions Treated: Acne

Ingredients Used: Coccinia

Description: Acne is also known as Pimples, Zits and Breakouts. Acne is most common during adolescence, affecting more than 85% of teenagers, and frequently continues into adulthood. For most people, acne diminishes over time and tends to disappear—or at the very least decrease—after one reaches his or her early twenties. There is, however, no way to predict how long it will take to disappear entirely, and some individuals will continue to suffer well into their thirties, forties and beyond. The face and upper neck are the most commonly affected, but the chest, back and shoulders may have acne as well. The upper arms can also have acne, but lesions found there are often keratosis pilaris, not acne. Typical acne lesions are comedones, inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules. Some of the large nodules were previously called "cysts" and the term nodulocystic has been used to describe severe cases of inflammatory acne. Coccinia leaves extracts have been used in traditional African herbal treatments, especially for infective states given its strong Anti-fungal and anti-bacterial activity. Coccinia leaves extracts are a natural substitute for anti-biotics like Ciprofloxacin, Roxithromycin or Azithromycin. Coccinia leaves extracts are also effective in treating fungal infections especially topical fungal infections and can be safely used in place of commonly used topical anti-fungals like Cannestan or Nizoral. Coccinia is also known as Scarlet gourds.
