ACNE AND HOMEOPATHY FACTS
Sonia suffered from acne vulgaris
for last 2 years, making her miserable, as visits to college were quiet
embarrassing. She has become depressed and irritable listening to the
advises of friends and relatives. She has stopped going to parties and
other social gatherings. She has tried many treatments, used lotions,
astringents, but to no avail. It has been estimated that 70% of the population
have some clinically evident acne at some stage during adolescence. Hormonal
changes at puberty seem to trigger the condition. Hormonal imbalance causes abnormal quality and
quantity of sebum. Increased sebum secretion and formation of horny
plugs (comedones) are the earliest
abnormalities. Increased sebum secretion makes the skin greasy (seborrhoea). Blackheads and whiteheads (comedones) usually accompany the greasiness. Comedones are follicular plugs composed of follicular
debris and compacted sebum. There is no truth to the myth that comedone represent a tiny worm. Visible comedone can be expressed out by pressure on surrounding
tissue, but they form again within a few days. Inflamed reddened
papules develop from blocked follicles. Sometimes they develop
pus-containing vesicles at their top (pustules). In some cases, papule
becomes quite large and very unsightly and is called nodule. When these
nodules eventually subside, they leave a fibrotic scar, which may turn
hypertrophic (keloidal acne). The face - particularly the skin of cheeks,
lower jaw, chin nose and forehead, front side of chest, shoulders and upper
back are the commonly affected sites. The condition varies in severity and intensity
among individuals. For most, disorder is annoying and troublesome but
may be limited in extent and may last for few months. For few, it may
be a disaster as it disfigures them and wave after wave of new lesions is
quiet disheartening. In some women, premenstrual flare is noticeable.
Use of cosmetics can also precipitate acne formation. Constipation and food
aggravations may accompany acne. HOMEOPATHIC APPROACH 1. Patients contact homeopath in two
distinct patterns When the problem has just started – and
underlying hormonal imbalance and associated conditions appear to be minimal,
homeopathic treatment relieves the condition in a short span. When the problem has lasted for quite some time,
many treatments-local applications have failed, patient has become depressed,
hormonal imbalance and other associated problems like constipation etc. are
also there, prolonged homeopathic treatment is needed to gradually set right
the imbalance. 2. As the treatment
progresses, size, number and frequency of new lesions decline and other
associated conditions improve. Food aggravations should also diminish. 3. Use of cosmetics and other local
applications should be avoided. If the face is excessively greasy,
washing the face with a simple soap twice or thrice a day is enough. 4. Try not to express out lesions as
this may lead to pitting marks. Though total removal of pitting marks is
impossible, but it has been seen that proper homeopathic treatment may help
diminish the pitting marks. Patience and perseverance pays. 5. A close photograph of the lesions
at an interval of 3 to 4 months may prove helpful to make a thorough
comparison of the improvements. 6. The added advantage is -
overall increase in immunity.  Copyright
