Acne and Its Related Homoeopathic Remedies

The acne vulgaris is perhaps one of the most dreaded problems many people face. The main cause behind the fear is obviously the degree
of “loss of confidence” this problem causes in the population than the actual lesion. But with aptly chosen homeopathic remedies, we can
halt the progress of the disease and put an end to the menace by rendering soft supple skin to the ‘beauty-conscious’ generation.
Causative factors of Acne
Excess oil secretion from the sebaceous glands is considered to be the prime cause behind acne vulgaris, principally affecting the teenagers.
However, in some people, the trouble lasts longer even in thirties and forties.
Though oil secretion is said to be one of the main causes, the excess oil secretion in certain diseases like acromagaly, Parkinson’s disease,
etc does not cause acne. Therefore, it is thought that the androgenic hormones from testes, ovaries, and adrenals are the culprits that
enhance the oil production in the skin. That’s why the peak period of acne burst outs is teen-age, when these hormonal levels undergo lots
of changes. The oil when clogs the skin pores may lead to some or the other infection leading to acne.
However, acne is said to be familial trait too. The causes lie much beneath the so-called increased sebum production. No wonder
homeopathy has lot to offer to the patients of acne, as the causative factors can be varied, which can be dealt effectively only with the
homeopathic medicines applied to the patient of acne homeopathically.
Clinical Features of Acne
As with any skin trouble, acne vulgaris can be classified roughly as mild, moderate, and severe. Eruptions or lesions may be confined to
face, shoulders, upper chest, back, buttocks, etc. One may notice greasy skin. Blackheads can be the presenting feature in some. In some,
the acne can be very severe with abscess and cyst formation with heavy scarring. The lesions can be macular, papular, or rash-like in many

patients. Acne rosacea is the variety affecting the middle aged women and men. It is characterized by marked red eruptions, pustules, etc
without the formation of blackheads.
Suppression of Acne by Strong Chemical Agents
Most patients of acne vulgaris are young children entering their teens, when they want to look their best. Therefore, most of them resort to
creams, ointments, and lotions they find attractively advertised through various media. Some get better results for the time being. However,
in most cases, these measures prove only temporary. They give just palliative results till the person uses the particular local application and
acne return back utterly aggravated once he or she weans off it.
Worse still, the acne get suppressed and the deranged life force affects some more vital organ and the person starts suffering from more
severe disease than acne after he suppresses it. Any skin eruption suppressed does not cure the patient but worsens him on some other vital
plane. Have seen many patients say, “Acne was far better to have than this suffering” after they suppress acne. DO NOT suppress them.
It certainly does not mean you have no right to look beautiful! Just that your skin needs more delicate treatment that will wipe out acne
permanently with milder homeopathic medicines suited to your constitution.
Homeopathic Treatment of Acne
According to homeopathic principle, local application is a strict NO while treating acne or any other skin eruptions. Let the medicine act on
higher plane to enable the body comprehend the derangement in one of its sphere (here skin), and eradicate the disease process by
alleviating the symptoms of the disease. For it to happen, the homeopathic expert must be aware of the constitution of the patient, his
family history, his mental and physical traits, and any concomitant symptoms and signs if present.

Longley was the person, who stated the retained sebum in oil glands in course of the disease. This occluded sebum causes irritation,
inflammation and interference to bacteria and the inflammation results into pus formation.
Although the causative factors of the disease are not clearly known, many domestic preparations to cure the disease were in practice.
The Greek physician Galen invented the first facial cream dated back to about 150 A.D. An emulsion of cream by incorporating rose
water in a molten mixture of bee's wax and olive oil was prepared.
Ancient Egyptians also used zinc oxide and its other derivatives to treat acne. When usefulness of local application came forward,
Sulphur was used in the form of lotions, emulsions and ointments. It was found to reduce the oily nature of skin and bacterial
infection was also controlled preventing the spread of pimples.
