Hi,
Acne occur because of excessive oily skin which occur due to hormonal change in your body.
Now for treating acnes there are some natural methods
1) Wash your face twice daily with acne soap(containing sulphur)
2) Keep your hair off your face(dandruff can cause it)
3) Have multivitamins
4) Have diet rich in vitamin a
5) Avoid make up
6) Never squeze your black heads
7) Change your pillow cover daily
8) Avoid high glycemic index foods(cheese)
9) If you have dandruff then you may use anti dandruff shampoo like nizral this will help you.
Recommended medical treatment
1) Acne lotions(containng benzoyl peroxide,sulfur,salicylic acid),this is a over the counter drug
2)Ibuprofen as an anti-inflammatory for moderate to severe acne
3)Antibiotic also can be prescribed for severe acne
4)Tretinoin may be oral or topical can be prescribed by a doctor (dermatologist)
Now you told me that you got a parlor treatment and it is giving burning sensation to you,they must have used benzoyl peroxide cream which gives a little burning sensation but if the burning is to much or if you have any signs of allergy like redness or swelling over your body then you may consult a dermatologist.
