What is Acne?
Your skin has tiny holes called pores that can become blocked by oil, bacteria, dead skin
cells, and dirt. When this occurs, you may develop a pimple, sometimes also called a zit or blemish.

Acne is very common. In fact, research estimates that 9.4 percent of people worldwide have acne. While acne doesn’t pose a serious risk to your overall health, it can still be painful, particularly if you have severe acne. Over time, acne might also cause scarring.

Acne also contributes to emotional distress. Acne and acne scars on your face and other visible body locations can affect self-esteem and self-confidence, and they can even contribute to feelings of anxiety or depression.

What causes acne?
Acne occurs when the pores of your skin become blocked with oil, dead skin, or bacteria.
Each pore of your skin opens to a follicle. The follicle is made up of a hair and a sebaceous (oil) gland. The oil gland releases sebum (oil), which travels up the hair, out of the pore, and onto your skin. Sebum helps keeps your skin lubricated and soft.

One or more mishaps in this lubrication process can contribute to acne.
Acne might occur, for example, when:
• your follicles produce too much oil
• dead skin cells accumulate in your pores
• bacteria build up in your pores
Any of these concerns can lead to pimples, which develop when bacteria grow in a clogged pore and the oil can’t escape.

Role of Homeopathy -
• Improving systemic hormone balance
• Balancing oil production
• Preventing acne
• Treating the existing pimples and prventing scars.
• Improving the skin texture
• Treating the pre-existing conditions which can cause acne - PCOD, menopause etc with holistic improvement.

Additionally, you can try these at-home tips to help clear up acne and help prevent future
breakouts:
• Apply tea tree oil.
• Apply aloe vera.
• Use a honey mask.
• Refresh your face with green tea.
• Avoid touching your face.
• Never squeeze or pick pimples. It makes scarring more likely, and it can also
spread bacteria and excess oil.

Imagine stepping outside and immediately your skin starts to burn, itch, and develop painful rashes within minutes. Sun allergy/photodermatitis isn’t just about discomfort, but coping with a debilitating disorder which limits your activities and inhibits your freedom. However, with the right treatment, sun allergy can be completely cured, as the case pictures demonstrate.

What is photodermatitis?
Photosensitive dermatitis is a condition where a person’s skin develops unusual reactions, such as eczematous eruptions, in response to UV radiation, visible light, or both in sunlight and artificial light sources. Photosensitive refers to a reaction to light, while dermatitis is the term for inflammation of the skin.

Can it affect me?
It can affect people of all ages and skin types and occurs due to an abnormal reaction to some component of the electromagnetic spectrum of sunlight, which includes UV and visible light. People with photosensitive dermatitis typically cannot expose themselves to direct sunlight and even some forms of artificial light without their skin reacting.

What are the symptoms?
Skin eruptions appear at sun-exposed parts of the skin, such as the outer part of the arms and hands, the chest, and the back and side of the neck.
The condition may also resemble an exaggerated form of sunburn, but the reactions occur even with less intense light exposure.

Conventional treatment and management -
The main form of treatment for photosensitive dermatitis will typically include prevention methods - such as using sun protection, avoiding contact with any known allergens, and stopping any photosensitizing drugs if possible.
Staying inside, fully covering the skin, using broad-spectrum sunscreens, and taking photoprotective medications are some other measures.
To treat any eczematous reactions, dermatologists suggest emollients and topical steroids. In cases of severe dermatitis, doctors may use stronger medications, such as oral corticosteroids or immunosuppressive agents.

Role of Homeopathic treatment-
In acute flare-ups, Homeopathic remedies can effectively alleviate symptoms such as pain, swelling, and redness. These remedies work by stimulating the body's self-healing mechanisms, helping to reduce inflammation and discomfort.

In the long term, Homeopathy aims to reduce sensitivity to light, a hallmark of photodermatitis. By addressing the underlying imbalances within the body, Homeopathic treatment can help strengthen the body's resilience to environmental triggers like sunlight.

It's important to consult with a qualified homeopathic practitioner for personalized treatment tailored to your specific needs and symptoms. Homeopathy offers holistic support in managing photo dermatitis and improving overall well-being.

A seemingly simple but a very disconcerting complaint for the patient - Tinea corporis, commonly known as ‘ringworm’ because of its appearance. Conventional treatment consists of antifungal ointment and oral medications. However in spite of completing the prescribed course and after taking all precautions, the infection has a tendency to recur and become refractory.

Homeopathy offers an advantage by -
Treating it rapidly
Improving skin health
Preventing recurrences.

Presenting case pictures of - 1. A young girl who had ringwom, was completely better in eight days and has had no recurrence.
2. Patient suffering from recurrent ringworm infection (had taken Allopathic medicines thrice for the same) and other issues treated with Homoeopathy.

What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a skin disorder that causes skin cells to multiply up to 10 times faster than normal. This makes the skin build up into bumpy red patches covered with white scales. They can grow anywhere, but most appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back.
Psoriasis usually appears in early adulthood. For most people, it affects just a few areas. In severe cases, psoriasis can cover large parts of the body. The patches can heal and then come back throughout a person's life.

Is There a Cure?
According to old-school thought process, there’s no cure and it can only be managed. However, Homeopathy gradually reduces the frequency and intensity of the symptoms, resulting in permanent cure.

Homoeopathic approach - After a detailed case taking session, a remedy best suiting the individual is given. (To understand the Homoeopathic individualistic and holistic approach, read - )
This remedy helps to -
Reduce stress and the effects of other triggers and consequently check the inflammatory process
Reduce pain in joints (if present) or prevent psoriatic arthritis
Decrease the intensity and frequency of the outbreaks
Normalize skin cell turnover
Improve texture and reduce pigmentation of skin

Recent studies have suggested that when you have better control on the inflammatory process of psoriasis, your risk of heart disease, stroke, metabolic syndrome, and other diseases associated with inflammation also goes down.

Also the Homeopathic remedy will not just help the patients physically but also improve their mental and emotional health.

Case example - Young boy,12 years old, consulted me for guttate psoriasis. He had been suffering since infancy and had tried the standard mode of treatment multiple times. He also had breathlessness on slight exertion and avoided playing. Anger otbursts were regular and his grades were dropping. Homeopathic medicines were prescibed and the patient is doing much better now - physically and emotionally. He has done well in his boards too this year and can be said to be on the path of holistic health.

Subconjunctival haemorrhages (Red eye/ Eye bleed)

What is subconjunctival hemorrhage?

Subconjunctival hemorrhage is the term for a broken blood vessel on the surface of the eye. The clear membrane that lines the inside of the eyelid and covers the white of the eye is called the conjunctiva. It has innumerable, very small blood vessels that break easily. When a break happens, blood can leak under the conjunctiva. When this happens, the blood causes part of the white of your eye to turn bright red.

The red spots caused by subconjunctival hemorrhage can look scary. But most cases do not cause any symptoms or need treatment. It is most common in older people, but it can happen at any age.

What causes a subconjunctival hemorrhage?

Most cases of subconjunctival hemorrhage have no known cause. Some events and conditions can cause blood vessels on the eye to break. These include:
Straining (during coughing, sneezing, vomiting, or while using the toilet)
Injury to the head or eye, including infection
Rubbing the eye too hard
Wearing contact lenses
Taking medications, including blood thinners and a cancer drug called interferon
High blood pressure

What are the symptoms of subconjunctival hemorrhage?

Other than the red spot, there are no symptoms associated with subconjunctival hemorrhage. It does not cause pain or swelling, and it does not affect your vision.

How is subconjunctival hemorrhage diagnosed?

A doctor can diagnose subconjunctival hemorrhage by looking at the eye. The condition does not have any other identifying features.

Outcome, management and treatment -

Most broken blood vessels need 2 weeks to heal.

Larger spots may take longer to go away. As the blood clears up, the color of the area may change, like a fading bruise.

Contact your doctor if pain accompanies the eye redness. If broken blood vessels appear in your eyes often, your doctor may want you to undergo tests to try to identify an underlying cause.

What scope does Allopathy have in this condition?

Apart from artificial tears (eye drops) to help relieve the eye irritation (if it occurs), it is a wait and watch strategy.

How does Homoeopathy help?
What if one day, suddenly, your eye turned red? Scary right? Subconjunctival hemorrhage is the term for a broken blood vessel on the surface of the eye. It causes the whole eye to appear red and can cause panic. Normally it takes around two weeks to resolve, however Homeopathy acts beautifully and swiftly relieves the symptoms.
