A 17-year-old SC (Patient ID: 53665) visited Chembur clinic on 3rd Feb 2024 with his mother with a complaint of acne. His mother is already a happy and satisfied Life Force patient who was under treatment for her psoriasis.
He had acne for many years, with papular eruptions on the face (cheeks, forehead), chest, and back. The acne was painful and pustular with redness. He had tried many creams like Sesderma Azelac, face wash, and soaps like AknayBar soap and also visited many dermatologists, but no one was able to help him get rid of his acne. So his mother suggested starting homeopathic treatment at Life Force, as she had already benefited from her disease with Life Force treatment.
He was a college-going student, and his acne was affecting his social life, as at this age the way you look and the way you present yourself is very important. He felt disheartened when he saw his face in the mirror daily and so tried many ways, but all in vain, healing temporarily but not preventing recurrences.He also had a complaint of dandruff.

He was studying in his 1st year of college, had an older brother doing BBA, and his father had a business of computers and their parts, and his mother was a housewife. Stubborn by nature, being the younger child of the house, was very pampered by all the family members, so he was very demanding and irritable if things did not go his way.
He had a history of an abscess in the lower back for which he had undergone surgery. History of skin disorders in the family: mother was suffering from psoriasis, grandmother suffered from eczema, and father had an underactive thyroid.
