#STEEMGIGS: (DIY) — 5 Ways to use onion to cure severe pimple/acne (Home Remedy)

I had a very terrible experience in the past, i had pimples in my teenage age and because i did not pay attention to it, it developed acne.

Since what i suffered from has helped me with so many experience, i will be sharing my experience with Steemians from time to time. Today's post will be very brief.

Acne and pimples are so often used interchangeably as words but the truth is they are not the same thing, pimples and Acne are related with each other significantly but it should be known that one cannot be confused or replaced by the other, acne is a skin disease whereas Pimple is one of the symptoms for the same.

A pimple is what is created when the skin pores suffer blockage on account of dead skin cells being held back by sebum. A case of severe acne will almost always lead to the formation of pimples. Pimples are generally never caused due to genetic factors.

Sebum, skin cells and hair follicles bunch together to form a plug, and when this plug gets infected by bacteria, the resulting swelling is called Acne. It can appear on the face, neck, shoulders, chest and back. There are two kinds, namely, acne vulgaris, seen in children during puberty and acne rosacea, which is basically adult acne. The latter is more chronic. Acne can be a result of genetic factors.

I explained both so that we know that acne is more severe compared to pimples. The aim of today's topic is to teach us the step by step way of using onion to cure acne.
