This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I've experienced the kind of detox reaction you're having and it's perfectly normal. When it subsided my skin was left looking better than ever. I suggest using Cetaphyl facewash as this helped move mind along. Also always keep your face well moisturized.

How long has the 'horrific outbreak' lasted?

The remedy I prescribe which has helped many is Arnica 6c in the Wet dose taken twice daily and also applied directly on the face.

The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

Order the remedy in a 5ml Alcohol pack aka Liquid Dilution in a bottle with a dropper arrangement.
If this is not available the Dry dose in pellets may be use but this is not as effective as the remedy in the original Ethanol pack
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle or 5 Pellets and shake it hard to produce bubbles. This is homeopathic succussion and must be done every time before a capful of the bottle which is the dose is taken as directed.

Please post your response to the Arnica therapy in a week.

Stop all other medication you may be using today if you use my therapy.

I am not able to answer your question about the reason for your:
'mild but recurring acne (2-3 every week and an extra before my menstrual cycle) and im noticing a horrific outbreak, unlike any i have ever seen.the doctors say its my internal toxins getting cleared out and its clearing out all my pimples from the root.'

You are 'going to a highly reputed homeopath who has helped loads of people recover.' and I am not aware of the remedy he has given you, which is perhaps the reason for your present outburst. It is possible that this is also due to the remedy you have been prescribed which can, if you take it in the pellets, cause the aggravation you have reported.

I have prescribed Arnica 6c in the Wet dose for hundreds and perhaps unknown thousands of fellow sufferers from Acne and the records on this Forum alone will prove that my therapy has invariably helped them. You may like to know that no classical homeopath will prescribe Arnica 6c for Eczema and this is a remedy that I have originally experimented with and can be classified as 'Joepathy'

I can categorically state that no patient has ever experienced any Horrific Outbreak of Acne with the Arnica 6c I prescribe exclusively and patients have confirmed that their chronic Acne has usually dried up in just 3 days.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
i understand and respect that but i wanna give this a shot, so any fellow sufferers of acne who went through the same detox after starting homeopathy, PLEASE respond.

There are some other questions that need to be answered to understand what is happening.

How many doses have you taken?

How have you been taking those doses (pillules, pillules dissolved in water, liquid doses into the mouth, liquid doses diluted into water)?

What remedy have you been taking? Is it a single medicine or a combination?

What potency are you taking?

How long have you had the problem?

What orthodox treatments have you been using over the years?

Skin almost always aggravates when homoeopathic treatment is started. Depending on several factors it can be a short or long aggravation.

As an aside, Arnica is actually a known remedy for Eczema, being listed by no less than 14 authors for it.

Allen's Encylopedia:

the characteristic appearances of acute eczema in its various stages of progression

Allan's repertory:

Abdomen, eczema
Back, eczema; excoriated
Fingers, eczema, painful
Knees, eczema, rubrum

Pierce:

In eczema and psoriasis it is to be thought of with 'symmetrical eruptions' (Deschere), where the eruption in one part of side of the body has its fellow on the corresponding part on the opposite side of the body and 'clinically,' says Dearborn, 'symmetry has been found to be a very good indication for Arnica. '

Morrison:

Eczema, Psoriasis, Boils, Purpura

Neatby:

diffuse weeping of the red area may occur, and cracks or fissures develop, like acute eczema. This acute condition may in parts resemble erysipelas and in parts eczema.

Apples and Oranges ?

The patient suffers from Acne NOT Eczema.

This is the reason why I have always prescribed Lycopodium many times over for you.

Boericke on Lyco:
'Mind.--Melancholy; afraid to be alone. Little things annoy, Extremely sensitive. Averse to undertaking new things. Head strong and haughty when sick. Loss of self-confidence. Hurried when eating. Constant fear of breaking down under stress. Apprehensive. Weak memory, confused thoughts; spells or writes wrong words and syllables. Failing brain-power (Anac; Phos; Baryt). Cannot bear to see anything new. Cannot read what he writes. Sadness in morning on awaking.'

I note with interest that you have listed many irrelevant questions but not asked the patient what remedy she used to cause all this distress, before you started equating the classical therapy with chapter and verse, used for Eczema to the Joepathy I prescribe for Acne.

Incidentally how many times have you prescribed Arnica 6 for Eczema as this is not the standard classical remedy you would have been taught to prescribe.

You may like to know that Arnica works on both Eczema and Acne by increasing the blood flow in the minute capillaries under the skin thereby clearing the debris in the blood vessels which are then enabled to function normally by relieving the suppuration of Eczema and the lesions of Acne which were caused by the lack of normal blood flow. This cure occurs usually in under 3 days when both the Eczema and the Acne dry out as if by magic.

I have many patients who were hospitalized many times for Cellulitis who were cured of the disease with strong antibiotics like Augmentin but were compelled in one case to return to hospital on 3 succeeding occasions in the space of 2 years and was CURED of her Cellulitis by using my Joepathy.

You are probably taking too many doses and you are taking too large a dose. You are aggravating because you are taking too much.

What potency are you being given? Whatever it is, 3 doses a day, using the pillules (dry dose) for 10 days (?) is way too much. Your homoeopath is being irresponsible.

Stop the remedy immediately, before you permanently harm yourself. The aggravation should wear off in a few days to a week hopefully.

A medicine should always be given in the smallest amount possible to effect a change - Law of the Minimum Dose. The medicine should also never be repeated as dry doses (as per the instructions in our Organon of Medicine). Your homoeopath is breaking several basic rules of treatment, and you are suffering because of it.

Whenever there is a reaction to a remedy, it should be immediately stopped. If the aggravation is a beneficial, you will see a positive change within 1-2 weeks of that first reaction. However, if you keep taking it, you will never stop aggravating. It could go on for the rest of your life, and create worse problems for you.

You just can''t stand being wrong can you Joe.

You said classical homoeopaths have never used Arnica for Eczema. As you can see, you are wrong. Stop claiming discoveries that are not yours. There are times when I swear you are going to start claiming you discovered the watery dose as well. I see hints of that madness appearing.

No homoeopathic remedy works locally. All homoeopathic medicines work on the vital force only, they are dynamic not physical and do not go under the skin and clear out debris or any other such rubbish.

Your attempt to classify my views and opinions being different to yours, as a disease, is ridiculous and arrogant. Please desist.

brisbanehomoeopath last decade
yes, the aggravation has become slightly better since the first week that it started. just slightly. permanent damage?
been four weeks, how much longer should i wait?
 
varsha01 last decade
You need to stop the remedy if you are still taking it. That is what I understood you were saying, that you were still on it - is that right?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
yes im still on it. will be 6 weeks on friday. stopeed for 4 days previously, didnt notice any improvement.

To Varsha

Did you acne calm down? I am currently doing a homeopathic detox with certain remedies that support organs and my acne has come out worse than ever... however I feel amazing in myself... So I know the prescription is working. I just want to know how long the outbreak lasted or would that depend on how many toxins one has?

Cheers
