Abstract: An effective treatment for removing acne blemishes with non-prescription substances is described. The afflicted area first is washed with very warm water and an emulsifier. Hot towels are applied to the blemishes and the towels are removed. The skin is left moist, followed by application of a hot cloth soaked in saline water. Pairs of steaming hot towels are placed over the saline water soaked cloth until the subject feels that each of the pairs of towels are no longer hot. The afflicted area then is washed with a castile soap and residual brown spots on the skin are post treated with a topical application of turpentine or honey.
