The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Please help ..Suffering with face, back n chest acne for 5 years..
I am 23 years old and been suffering from acne on my chest, back and face for a long time.No medicine seemed to be effective.A homeopath prescribed Sulphur just by looking at my photo and it aggravated it more.Have been taking Kali Bromatum 30C liquid form thrice daily now for a month.Unable to decide if it really has any effect.Would be really helpful if anyone could suggest a medicine suitable to my persistent acne.
Specifications-
1) I had a perfectly clear face and body till 18years. There was not even a single dot.
2) Hit puberty when i was 15years old and there were no sudden acne related to puberty.
3) Had tried other natural medicines like ayurveda which had cured temporarily by suppressing the problems which came out to surface later with much more aggravation.
4) I dont notice specific aggravation before menses every month.But atleast one acne pops out during menses.
5) Acne in the back are red and small and have completely covered my upper back.They heal in a week n leave behind small scars.It pains at times.Same is the case with acne on chest though they are not as frequent.
6)Used to get too much of acne on my buttocks which used to pain.But now there are one or two coming up and have left unsightly scars.
7)Used to have cystic acne in the beginning which have reduced to moderate acne now.They have stopped coming on the upper shoulders.I used to have cod liver oil for reducing them.
Any suggestions for remedy would be of great help.In urgent need of a remedy.
Waiting with great hope.. :) :)

HOW TO TAKE THE REMEDY:
Please take two doses 12 hrs apart. Just two doses. Not daily.
Report back in 7 days with changes observed.

During the treatment, dont eat anything which you have never had all your life.
HOMEOPATHIC AGGRAVATION
Sometimes the symptoms for which treatment is being done can worsen after taking the homeopathic remedy. This is homeopathic aggravation and a good sign. It usually dies down within 24-48 hrs. During this time you can use any non-medicinal means to keep yourself comfortable. If the aggravation seems excessive, you can use any & all means necessary (including taking allopathic medicines) to keep yourself comfortable. Keep your homeopath fully updated if this happens.

IF I DONT REPLY:
If you dont hear back from me within 24 hrs, it is likely that the forums email didnt work. You can send me an email by clicking my username.
GENERAL INFO ABOUT HOMEOPATHIC PRESCRIBING:
If someone is giving several remedies, without waiting to see the effect of one remedy, then it is totally against the core principles of homeopathy. Such an approach is unlikely to give permanent cure, rather it may distort actual symptoms making subsequent cure even more difficult.
HOW TO ORDER:
You can get the remedies from this site or various other online sources, use Google search for it.
DIETARY & EXERCISE GUIDELINES (for adults):
Use common sense in following these guidelines and ask me if unsure. Homeopathy is not magic and it can only work when all other supportive strategies are also used. To make sure you are cured as fast as possible and stay that way please change your lifestyle to include the following:
1. Start eating half cup of low fat, plain, non-flavored yogurt with live cultures daily in the morning or with lunch. If you have homemade yogurt thats the best. Yogurt can cause increased mucus generation in some individuals, if you are like that, dont eat yogurt. Rather start eating roasted black chick peas (also known as Bengal Gram) daily.
2. Stop all processed foods e.g. white bread, white rice, white burgers etc.
3. Eat whole foods only i.e. whole grain bread, brown rice, brown burgers etc.
4. The bread should be high in bran content & the flour should be coarse ground.
5. Start eating a small bowl of salad at least once a day e.g. it should contain cucumber, carrots, salad leaves, tomato and any vegetable you like. Put a dressing of olive oil & raw apple cider vinegar and put some salt & black pepper to your liking.
6. Eat at least 1-2 fruits per day e.g. apple, orange etc.
7. Drink enough water so that your urine is clear. Yellow colored urine is a good indication that you are dehydrated.
8. Eat only when hungry and when eating, dont overstuff yourself.
9. Focus on food only when you eat i.e. dont divert your attention by watching tv etc.
10. Exercise:
Aerobic activity e.g. Start walking at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week with your spouse/friend and achieve your target heart rate.
Strength training e.g. Start weight training at least 20 minutes 3 days a week.
