This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You should not be giving pellets. Remedies should be made into liquid form for regular dosing.
How do you know he needs Sulphur? There are over 200 medicines listed for acne in our literature (and that is a conservative estimate - acne has been cured by many more remedies than this).
If you are just giving Sulphur for the name of his condition (just because he has acne without looking at the rest of his case) then you either will suppress it and make it worse, or cause new symptoms to appear. It is very dangerous to do this.

Thanks for the reply, so if Sulphur is not recommended then what other Homeopathy would you recommend?

I did a description search on this website and Sulphur and Causticum was the first ones mention on the recommend list.

That software is only useful for acute complaints, not chronic ones. It does not show you how symptoms are selected or interpreted, nor how to differentiate between remedies. Only a homoeopath can do this for chronic (and many acute) cases.
Describe each physical complaint/associated set of symptoms in detail. Please include the following when doing this:
1. Appearance
2. Sensation or pain
3. Situations/events/triggers for making it worse
4. Situations/events/triggers for making it better
5. Event that seemed to start the complaint
6. Other sensory features smell, sound, taste, tactile etc
Make sure each complaint is done separately. Do not group them together. This is for physical complaints/diseases.
MENTAL STATE OF THE CHILD (IMPORTANT)
1. When the physical complaint is active, what is his/her emotional state like? What does he/she do? What does she/he want you to do?
2. Does he/she describe any unusual sensation or pain in the body, especially when they are complaining of something?
3. What fears does he/she have? How does she/he react?
4. Was there any incident in the past that had a great impact? What happened at the time? Is there any ongoing reaction to this event? How does he/she talk about it?
5. Is there any story (book, fairytale, cartoon, movie etc) that seems to really resonate with her/him? What does he/she say about it?
6. What kind of fantasies does she/he describe to you? How does this translate down into play, games, toys? Does he/she tend to draw particular things over and over? If so what are they? If you point to these images, what does she/he say about them?
7. Does he/she describe any dreams or nightmares to you, and what are they? How does she/he react on waking from them?
8. How is he/she when interacting with other children? What about sports or games? How about obeying rules or social conventions?
9. How is she/he when interacting with older people? Is there any difference between family or friends and strangers in terms of reactions and behavior?
10. What kind of activities does he/she enjoy doing? Which of these do she/he spend the most time at?
11. What qualities seem to make your child different from other children?
12. How does your child cope with school, school work, study, deadlines, speaking in front of others, following directions etc?
13. What kind of questions does he/she tend to ask you or other adults?
14. What makes her/him laugh? What makes him/her cry?
15. What makes him/her angry or irritable?
16. What does your child do when alone?
17. Is there a particular person or type of person that he/she reacts to, and what kind of reaction?
GENERAL STATE OF YOUR CHILD
1. What position does he/she sleep in?
2. Is there any position he/she seems unable to sleep in?
3. Any unusual behavior during sleep?
4. Any problems with sleep?
5. What foods are craved (cravings are strong desires) What foods are hated?
6. What drinks are craved? What drinks are hated?
7. How does he/she react when hungry, or hunger is prolonged?
8. How does the weather affect?
9. How does the temperature affect?
10. Are there any other environmental influences negative or positive (season, noise, music, moon, light, dark, day, night, time, smells etc.)
11. Problems with stool or bowel habit?
Problems with urine or bladder habit?
12. Where does he/she sweat most? Does it stain or smell unusual?
PREGNANCY AND BIRTH
1. What kind of health problems occurred while you were pregnant with your child?
2. Were there any other stresses or traumas that occurred?
