The ABC Homeopathy Forum
another acne sufferer
I am a 25 year old unmarried female. I have had acne problems since I was 16-17. this might be a heredity thing as my mother had massive acne till she was 43. when my acne started it was just huge pimples which hurt and came out primarily on my nose. For the first two years it remained like this, a huge zit used to come out every other week. I was mostly using topical medicines at this point. When I started going to University, I had very bad schedule, with erratic sleeping patterns and unhealthy diet (eating out at irregular times, no breakfast!). This of course aggravated my acne which spread on to my cheeks, chin, forehead (around the eyes and eyebrows mostly). Some of these pimples were small and red, some were small with white/yellow pus on them and some were huge and hurt. If I would accidently pop it, usually the pus would come and then blood.I took around 2-3 anti-biotic courses which worked while I took the medicine, but when I stopped taking the medicine, the acne would reappear. Mostly I have large zits which occur around the same area...between and around my eyebrows, around my mouth and nose and on my chin. These hurt to touch and also tend to group together.
Other than this, I sometimes have small red spots on my upper chest, but none on my back or shoulders. I also sometimes have hard pimples on my scalp which hurt when I touch them. My menstrual cycle seems to be pretty normal.
I have a major sweet tooth but now I believe that for the past year (or more) I have been eating pretty regularly and healthy.
I generally prefer to stay indoors and like cool weather more than warm weather.
I have been taking Berberis Aquifolium 1X in liquid form for the past 3 weeks but it has had no impact at all. I take it directly (without diluting it in water) twice a day around 7 drops in the morning right after getting up and seven drops at night before sleeping. Should I continue taking it?
please do help me out...I'm really exhausted with this acne.

I have hair loss but I dont know if its too excessive. Also, in the past 2 years I have had hair growth on my chin and I am doing laser treatment for that.
As for my acne problems...I get the pimples pretty regularly, sometimes it clears up a bit around my periods but not so noticeably. The pimples also sometimes seem to occur pretty symmetrically for some strange reason. For example, if I have a zit on one side of my nose, I can have another on the other side of the nose too!
I am generally very agreeable, slighly lazy at times and generally of a relaxed temperament. I have nice deep sleep (but I tend to sleep talk). I also sometimes like to talk to myself :)
I dont particularly like thunderstorms...feel a bit uncomfortable.
I like being consoled when I am going through tough times by friends and family!!
I have positive feelings towards all the people in my life.
I tend to crave sweet food and am not really a picky eater so I dont really have any aversions as such.
Thirst is normal
Hunger is normal-I prefer small and frequent meals throughout the day.
My sweat is normal...maybe I sweat more under the armpits than most other women...
Bowel movement is regular...once a day.
I dont think there is any food i cant stand.
Thank you for your time :)

I know what you are going through. I had acne really bad. I tried everything you can think of. Only one thing truly worked. Have you heard of Obagi Nu Derm System? I used that and now my face is completely clear. It is the only thing I ever tried that REALLY worked. It is expensive and and painful in the beginning but worth it all. At 30 I finally have clear skin. All I need now is a way to get rid of the scars left behind. Anyone heard about silica doing this? Good luck.

take ARNICA 30C, wet dose, 2 drops in a teaspoon of water three times a day in empty stomach.
ARNICA is called for when there is a symmetry in the distribution of acne on the face.
continue it for a long time and you will see good results with your hair loss as well.
come back after a 15 days and tell me the improvements. if there is no change, we will modify treatment.

also, i would suggest SEPIA 200C to be taken one dose every week.
this is because you may be having hormonal disturbance in the body which has resulted in hair loss, hair growth on chin and acne on your face.
all of this call for SEPIA which will take care of all your problems.
so, you can take a combination of ARNICA 30C three times a day and one dose of SEPIA 200C once every week.
you will get cured before you get married :)
best wishes.

thank you for the suggestions! I started Arnica today and I was wondering how much is considered a dose of Sepia 300? A drop? or more?
I will get back to you in 15 days!

one dose of SEPIA 200C would be 2 drops of the dilution in a spoonful of water being sipped up slowly by your tongue.
