CONCLUSION<br />
Aloe vera plant extracts were found effective<br />
against skin acne and skin pimples. Different<br />
concentrations of Aloe vera have different<br />
results and effects on skin lesions. At higher<br />
doses of Aloe vera concentrations the skin<br />
lesions healed completely, pus filled lesions<br />
dried and cysts disappeared completely.<br />
