Acne vulgaris (commonly called acne) is a common skin condition, affecting 85-100% of people at some time during their lives, especially during adolescence. The inflammatory follicles may be due to increased sebum secretion, hormonal imbalance, abnormal keratinisation, etc.

It is managed by homoeopaths by considering the location, size, colour, pus formation, whether painful or painless, oily or non-oily face and skin, constitution, miasm, etc.

pimple is one of the most stubborn and obstinate skin conditions that takes ages to heal and causes much irritation and anxiety. A pimple is a clogged follicle on the skin in which sebum and dead cells become trapped. This frequently gets infected so that pus accumulates in the pimple, causing a pustule. The condition is painful, and the pus discharge frequently causes the appearance of new pustules on the area that it comes in contact with. Whiteheads and blackheads are both components of acne.

Different individuals develop different patterns of disease and hence thorough a evaluation by a homeopath would decide which medicine is best for pimples in a certain individual. Homeopathy treatment for pimples generally relies on a complete analysis and evaluation of the case, and constitutional treatment individualized to a person is preferred.

Psoriasis is a noncontagious skin condition that produces thick plaques and scaling skin. The dry flakes of skin are reported to result from the excessively rapid proliferation of skin cells that is triggered by inflammatory chemicals produced by specialized white blood cells called lymphocytes. Psoriasis commonly affects the skin of the elbows, knees, and scalp. Nevertheless, it can appear from anywhere in the skin.

According to the modern scientific understandings, immune system and genes may contribute to the condition, along with other environmental and lifestyle factors. Psoriasis is not contagious. Risk factors for psoriasis include:

• Family history
• Viral or bacterial infection
• Overweight & obesity
• Smoking
• Stress
• Certain medications like those used to treat bipolar disorder and high blood pressure

Vitiligo or ‘safed daag’ (in Hindi)  is an autoimmune condition where the skin loses its natural color and develops white or light skin-colored patches. In this condition, there is either destruction of the skin pigments (melanin: which gives normal color to the skin) or there is some defect in the production of skin pigments leading to the loss of normal skin color.

the treatment should be given to treat the root cause that is correcting the imbalance of the immune system rather than applying anything externally. Homeopathy believes in the same principle, and, hence, it offers excellent treatment in most of the cases of vitiligo.
