The monsoon season can take a toll on your skin. The constant exposure to the humid atmosphere renders it susceptible to dehydration and damage. So, if you neglect it, it tends to show up in the form of acne, allergies and rashes.

There are few things as frustrating as waking up in the morning to find a big, pus-filled pimple on your cheek.

While pimples are annoying, the long-lasting aftereffects of these irritating breakouts are even worse. Pimples are temporary but dark acne spots can linger on for a really long time and, worse, it might never fade away completely. However, most of these marks can be treated at home, besides severe cases that may need help from a dermatologist.

It is the bane of so many people’s life. Contrary to popular belief, acne can affect you beyond your adolescence. Be it in form of old bumps and scars or even recent breakouts, many find that they need to come in terms with adult acne. And, needless to say, it can be quiet distressing. Even Dr Sabina Bhattarai from Apollo Hospital shares that their own studies have proved that acne tends to have significant emotional trauma on those who suffer from it.
