Acne

Root-cause homoeopathic management of acne vulgaris — addressing sebum, inflammation, hormonal drivers, microbiome, and scarring tendency through individualised constitutional prescribing.

Skin, Hair & Nails

Understanding Acne

Acne vulgaris is a chronic pilosebaceous disorder with follicular hyperkeratinisation, increased sebum, Cutibacterium acnes proliferation, and inflammation. Types: comedonal, papulopustular, nodulocystic. Triggers: androgens (PCOS), stress, diet (high GI, dairy), cosmetics, medications. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and scarring are sequelae.

Homoeopathy treats the acne diathesis — sebaceous sensitivity, hormonal terrain, immune response, and healing capacity — rather than just suppressing lesions. Aims for clear skin without long-term antibiotics or isotretinoin where possible.
