Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder predominantly affecting adolescents.  Characterized by papules, pustules, and scarring, it often leads to cosmetic concerns, reduced self-esteem, and significant psychological distress. Many patients resort to prolonged use of modern medicines and cosmetics, which frequently provide limited or no relief. This paper presents the case of a 17-year-old girl who had suffered from pustular and papular eruptions on her face since the age of 14. Conventional treatments over several years failed to improve her condition. However, marked clinical improvement was observed following individualized homoeopathic management with the indicated simillimum. The case highlights the therapeutic potential of homoeopathy in chronic dermatological disorders and its role in improving quality of life in adolescents with acne.
