Acne Treatment in Philadelphia at Viva Healthy Life Holistic Center

Acne is a common term for blemishes, boils, and eruptions on the skin caused by blocked or obstructed pores. Often, this defect can result in permanent marks.

This skin disorder affects both males and females, and the age range of 12–24 is the most critical. During puberty, both females and males experience an increase in hormones. This condition causes an increase in the production of oil (sebum) within the skin layers. Sebum is stable enough to obstruct the pores and cause the development of pimples. If bacteria develop inside of these pimples due to poor blood circulation, they become infected and transform into pustules. After the end of puberty, levels of hormones may continue to stay above normal limits, and in those cases, we see adult patients (25–40 years old) with severe skin inflammation attacks. Furthermore, some female patients experience. Furthermore, skin disorders occur in the premenstrual period on a monthly basis. These bouts deepened the production of extra progesterone right after ovulation.

Acne is an illness that impacts the sebaceous glands deep in the skin. The sebum ducts, also known as pores, drain the oily fluid from the glands. Also, these tubes connect to the hair follicles. Inflammation in the follicles develops when sebum blocks the pores and flows inside the follicles instead of outside the skin. As a result of this process, pimples grow and at some point become infected. The most critical areas for pimples are the face, shoulders, and upper back, and they include the neck.

There are no particular causes of this skin disorder; however, there are a few factors that may stimulate the excess production of sebum and secondarily cause boils to develop.

There are few different forms of acne with their specific forms, locations, and severity of symptoms

This type of acne is frequently experienced during puberty by both girls and boys, usually on the skin of the face and upper part of the upper body.

This type of acne typically manifests as pink or red skin on the face.

Mechanical injuries, particularly from shaving, usually cause this skin illness.

Inflammation of the sudoriparous glands that produce sweat is the foundation of this disease. The inflammation in these organs is very similar to inflammation in the oil glands. Furthermore, because the most common locations for Conglobata are underarms and groin areas, hair follicles almost always get involved.

Cosmetic products typically trigger this type of skin condition.

This disorder is very similar to conglobata, but the term acne fulminant is used in most severe cases.

Similar to birth control pills as described above, some medicines may cause hormonal imbalance and secondary acne. This form of acne usually appears when an individual starts new drugs.

Infants’ skin elements manifest as red bumps on their faces, commonly referred to as childhood allergies.

Skin rash instigated by contact with chlorinated hydrocarbons such as chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, dioxins, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or PCBs.

Acne vulgaris is the most usual kind of acne. Almost 80% of teenagers, both boys and girls, experience it during puberty. Very often acne vulgaris has a tendency to vanish or at least fade after puberty.

Modern Western medicine does not have a treatment for acne, and unless the process is extreme, patients get a recommendation to keep their skin clean and use neutral soap.

Homeopathic medicine sees in acne not a skin disorder but a hormonal disproportion that causes extra oil production and secondarily stimulates acne development. As a result of the homeopathic assessment, the medical practitioner seeks to identify the underlying issue that triggers the onset of acne vulgaris.
To demonstrate the individualized approach in homeopathy, I will describe two similar cases of acne that I have recently treated using homeopathic remedies.

Tamara B., a 24-year-old female, experienced a severe skin rash on her face and neck. The first time she experienced acne vulgaris was when she was about 13 years old. She started her first period at age 16, and since then, her menstrual cycle has been irregular, with bleeding occurring once every three to four months. When a period starts, it lasts for 1–2 days, and the blood flow is insufficient. The patient also reports headaches that decrease in severity in open air. She prefers cold temperatures to warm ones and does not tolerate closed rooms. This white female is 5’6” tall, and her weight is 140 lbs. Her skin is pale with the exception of the skin on her face and neck. She is very sensitive and according to her husband’s opinion, “she is crying for no reason.”

I prescribed Pulsatilla 200 once a day, and after a month, her facial skin was clean and smooth.

Jennifer S. This 17-year-old female has suffered from the vulgaris form of acne since she was 12. The most critical location of the skin rash is the right side of her face. The rash appears suddenly and without any apparent cause, manifesting as a large, swollen red pimple that sometimes has a white center. A severe burning pain accompanied this skin element from the very beginning. The patient cannot identify any connections between the skin rash and her diet, medications, or menstrual cycles. She is 5’5” tall, weighs 170 lbs., and has natural blonde hair. 

She has blue eyes, and her pupils dilated. Her IQ is high; she is in a positive mood and smiling. During the duration of our conversation, her face changed from red to pale several times. She likes to wear a hat all the time. She is allergic to honey and other bee products.

Based on my assessment, I prescribed Belladonna 6C and Apis 6 two times per day each. I recommend that she start taking these remedies as soon as she feels that a new skin rash starts. Two months later I saw this patient for re-evaluation. She told me that the new skin rash started the day after she left my office. She immediately started the remedies that I prescribed, and by the end of the day, the skin element vanished and never developed. She continued taking the prescribed medications, no new rashes developed, and her facial skin gradually became healthy over time.

Homeopathy is a reliable weapon against this skin disorder. If treatment is performed based on the constitutional philosophy of homeopathic medicine, acne attacks stop, the hormonal level moves to the area that we call “within normal limits,” and the disease ends.

At Viva Healthy Life Holistic Center, Dr. Tsan has extensive experience in treating acne using homeopathic remedies. Sometimes for a better result, he uses a combination of homeopathy and acupuncture or Reiki. The effectiveness of my treatment is almost 90%. Homeopathic medicine is harmless for kids and adults, so I treat patients of any age.
