Acne
I have been suffrering from Acne since 2004.Initially I had been on allopathic medicines like Azithromycin for 1 week and it got OK.in 2005 end it again flared up severely and I was treated with Iso trenoin for 4 months.It got OK.In 2009 again In 2008 too it re-ocurred a few times.Now in 2009,it had flared up since last six months without stop.I am on homeopathic medicines since last 6 months.Now can someone really help me out!!!I despeartely want to get out of this as now it depresses me.sapnajain11 on 2009-06-25
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
To start with I was prescribed BAQ drops and some two bottles of tablets to be taken thrice a day.Alongwith I was prescribed Aquifolium cream.I had taken medicine for 3-4 months.It was working in a way not completely but 30-40percent reduction.But new lesions never stopped.then I developed a sudden allergy in the form of very tiny n number of cysts on the sidelocks of the chin.Then I had to rush to allopathic doc as it was itchy.who prescribed me Elina,Zumpred & Vitamin A along with Nadibact cream.But the medicines could only stop the itching.The homeopathic doc then increased the potency which again led to sudden abruptions of cysts very painful and horrible.The doc then chnaged the medicine and added Biopasgen 20 alongwith.
Currently I had to change the doc as for 6 months the previous doc medicine didi not show any good response.
Currently,I am onto some two bottles of homeopathic medicine.Early morning I have to take some powder everyday.The week begins with two packet of powders.I am using AcneAid cream at night and Silk & Stay soap two times a day.

Ms. Jain please see my previous acne cases and know more about acne and its management. In short, I have no hesitation to say that you have not treated homoeopathcally yet. Constitutional homoeopathic treatment usually helps for acne.

Please clear these things. There seems some confusion.
I is not clear from your reply the location of acne. I only confirmed that you have acne on cheeks and chin. What about forehead and nose is not clear. It is very important so make these clear.
You said that you have tubercular (cystic acne) . Please make sure me it is right and you have other types of lesions also. Usually there are papules and cystic acne at a time.
Please make clear consistency of your menstrual blood. Please write only that character is applicable to you

Forehead and nose I haven't got acne till date.
I don't know the medical term but I get a pain before the acne at the place where it is to break out.There is a cyst kind thing which develops then without any fluid.It is a solid cyst.Then the pus comes in.All the while the pain is there till the pus begins to dry.After drying it leaves a mark.
My menstrual flow is usually thin a bit sticky with some clotting also present.

Ms. Jain
Do you have chicken pox in the past.
Do your eruptions are present only one side of the face.
Do they appear for some time completely and then recur.
If your answer is yes for all three questions or two then it is most likely that your skin problem is Shingles (a viral infection) not an acne.
Please answer these questions and there is good result for this condition in homeopathy.

Yes I have had chicken pox in the past.
The eruptions are present on both the sides.Infact recently one has developed over lip also.
It is very less that they completely go.Scars are all over.Since two days they are around 8 in number as periods are around.

Dr.Rakesh,I am desperately waiting for an effective remedy from you!I am really so depressed and frustrated seeing my face that you can't even imagine.Please Please do help me!!!!
sapnajain11 last decade
It is still not decided that you have shingles or acne.
History of chicken pox support Shingles
And
Presence of eruption on both sides of face do not support Shingles.
Post more detail and you send picture also but should be of great quality otherwise it would be of no help to determine.
You may also consult a local dermatologist to confirm this.
And why you replied so late. Are you using internet from cyber cafe?

Dr. Rakesh Km Lko last decade
Sending the photographs would not be possible as the quality would not be that clear.I have always been treated by dermatologist only.and all of them report it to be acne only.I replied late as I forgot to click on the emal option and hence didnt get your post on my mail and thought you haven't replied as you might be busy.
sapnajain11 last decade
okay it is very strange to have pain at the acne site before they erupt.
Do you have tell them about this symptoms?
Do you have tell them about this symptoms?
Dr. Rakesh Km Lko last decade
Yes,I have told them about all the symptoms.None of them has reported it to be anything else other than pimples or acne.
What does your opinion say?

I want to ask when you feel better in hot environment or cold.
What type of gastric problem you usually suffer apart from constipation.
Take Rhus Tox 200c three dose at 10 minute interval for three days.
