Understanding and Managing Acne

Dr. Nidhi Bhatt

Abstract: Acne vulgaris presents a significant challenge in dermatology, affecting individuals primarily during adolescence and young adulthood. It is characterized by the formation of comedones, papules, pustules, and in severe cases, nodules and cysts, often leading to psychological distress and scarring. Homeopathy offers a holistic approach to managing acne, addressing underlying causes such as hormonal imbalances, genetic predispositions, and lifestyle factors. Remedies like Sulphur, Kali bromatum, and Pulsatilla are commonly prescribed based on individual symptomatology and constitutional type. This abstract provides an overview of how homeopathy can complement conventional treatments by aiming to restore balance within the body, thereby improving skin health and reducing acne severity.
