Before you decide to part your hard earned money on expensive treatments, why not consider Acne Home Remedy? Though I have never had very serious acne breakouts, there are occasions where I would have a whiteheads attack on my combination skin. When my acne becomes big and painful, I will dab a little apple cider vinegar on the affected area as ACV contains antiseptic and antibacterial qualities. I have also found colloidal silver to be useful in dealing with painful acne. I could recall one occasion where I had a painful acne on my face. I faithfully dab colloidal silver solution on the area for a few days and interestingly, the acne didn’t swell up but instead, it subsided to just a small red spot.
