A GIFT OF ACNE FREE SKIN TO A TEENAGER FROM HOMEOPATHY
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.
Personal details:
He was a vegetarian with a desire for spicy food. His water intake was 2-3 liters/day with no complaints with stools or urination.
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.
He was overweight considering his height and was advised to reduce weight by following a healthy diet and following a routine of regular exercises and brisk walking.
Photos were taken of his skin for future reference.
Dr. Shah, after carefully analyzing the case, prescribed SILICA 30 and was also given dietary recommendations to improve the intake of nutrients and avoid junk and other dietary components that promoted the formation of acne and weight gain. Also motivated to go for regular exercises and brisk walks to reduce weight and move toward a healthy life.
Follow ups:
Follow-up taken on 13th March 2024, no change was noted in the acne in severity, frequency, or duration it took to heal; noted 2-3 pustular acne''s with redness and pus discharge on cheeks.
In the next follow-up done on 26th June 2024, a slight improvement was seen in the severity of the acne with fewer pustular incidences, and also the time taken to heal had reduced, but the frequency was almost the same, 1-2/week.
Follow-up done In Oct 2024, the frequency and severity of acne had reduced significantly, and skin had improved in texture and appearance.
He is continuing treatment for a complete recovery.
Conclusion:
This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of homeopathic treatment in managing acne, highlighting the importance of individualized care and the potential for long-term resolution of symptoms.
